Purple Ultimate Seat Cushion, Large 2.5 Inch Gel Seat Cushion

I ordered this seat cushion and got it yesterday. I drove with it today, and here is my review. First, it's the right size for a Ford Bronco. If you've driven in a Bronco, you know that their seats are somewhat comfortable for shorter drives, but sometimes a little hard. But long trips can be hard. I did buy a different cushion in the store on said long trip, and passed on the purple cushion (not ultimate) due to it being twice the cost. However, the shortcomings of that cushion was it was too small. I then got another cushion on amazon. It's a lot better and bigger (width wise) cushion on amazon. The quality is pretty good, but again, it was too small for the Bronco seat, and it came up short under my legs and sides. Though, I like the feel on my behind. I can even sit on my wallet which is big and bulky, and not feel it. I finally measured my seat (got the tape ruler out), and found that the ultimate purple looks like it may fit. The purple cushion is the right size width. It's wide enough for my seat so that my body isn't spilling over the sides, and it comes up under my knee right where the calf turns down. It's the same thickness as the amazon bought cushion, but since it fits better on the seat, it seems taller (maybe it is?). Anyways, I almost feel like it's too tall, but I can't argue with the cushiony feel on my behind. Wish list for purple: 1. offer straps to secure to the car seat. It's heavy enough to almost not shift, but it does shift a little when getting out of the car. This is a small annoyance. My other two cushions are annoyances. 2. Maybe taper the front a little bit. Make it more of a wedge. Maybe if I got this wish, it might not work out. I think it's worth trying, though. 3. Get rid of the spine cut-out. I fee like I'm being pushed down on the rear, and the front of my legs lifted up. Kinda exaggerating a little, but just a little. As mentioned before, although it's 2" in height, it feels like it's taller than the other 2" cushion that I got prior. I'm not sure if it's really taller, or maybe because it fits to my knee, maybe that's what's making it taller? Also, it seems with the added height, that I had to adjust the mirrors to the height. It also makes looking at the street traffic lights a little bit more challenging. Would I go back to other seat cushions? Or use no cushion at all? Not on your life! Even with these "flaws", it's the best seat cushion that I've been able to find (so far). If I could have just one thing, it would be to get rid of the cut-out for the spine. I don't think it's needed. update: loving this seat cushion. I turned the seat cushion around so that the spine cut-out is now in the front. I think it fits a little better in the Bronco seat, and my behind is a lot happier. The spine cut-out is between my legs now, so it's not really an issue anymore. Maybe a leg might drift into that area fit better? I dunno. I feel like that's the "taper" I was hoping for, kinda.

I picked up this Purple seat cushion during a rough time dealing with a painful abscess that made sitting almost unbearable. It has been incredibly helpful. The grid design and the soft yet firm material distributes pressure so I'm not constantly shifting or wincing in pain. It stays cool even during long periods at my desk, which is a big plus. I've been using it daily for weeks now and it still looks and feels brand new. If you're struggling with an abscess, or any sitting discomfort, this cushion makes a real difference. It's worth every penny and I highly recommend it. I know the price it pretty bag, but the support seems to be great for returns.

At $127 on sale, I really wanted this cushion to not live up to the hype...but, dammit, it exceeded the requirements I set in my head to be worth keeping. I've owned many, many seat cushions in the past decade since hurting my back. If I were to add them all up, I've easily spent more than $200. I've tried many formed memory foam with the coccyx cutout and a few honeycombed gel cushions that are pretty much imitations of the Purple Double. They've all helped, but they've also had some things lacking. The honeycombed gel pads all bottomed out, while providing some relief, and that bottoming out caused pain after a few hours of sitting. This Purple Ultimate relieves all of the pressure and it feels like I'm floating on a very comfy and resilient cushion. It is thick and heavy, being made from the same blow molded polyeurethane as the Purple mattress, in three layers with different supportive design laters. So, being made from the same stuff as the mattresses, this is a heavy cushion. Carrying it on an airplane would be a chore. Also, it is very wide; the widest cushion I've ever owned. These sound like I'm building to a negative review but I'm not. Its totally worth the hassle. I highly suggest ordering one to try it out for yourself. Its a game changer. That being said, I also ordered the Purple Double. That isn't worth the expense. It is made out of the same gel as the much cheaper $25 gel honeycomb cushions and it feels exactly like them. It is NOT worth the $111. That one will be getting returned. UPDATE 4/20/2026: This cushion had lost no cushioning or form. It has not degraded in any way. It is my goto cushion. It's usually in my car, but I move it around if I I'm going to sit in my office chair fir a long time, whenever I have to sit on a hard plastic or folding chair, sometimes on my recliner if I'm experiencing bad back pain. If it wasn't so expensive I'd have multiple ultimate purple cushions all over the place. I'm now faced with a dilemma. I'm going to Japan soon. That's a 16 hour flight. I've lost 2 cushions while traveling in the past. I don't want to lose this one, but my second best cushion would leave me laid up in bed in the hotel, unable to enjoy my vacation for the first 2-5 days I'm there. So, I'm going to take the ultimate Purple cushion , and I think I'll tie a paracord between the cushions handle and my backpack handle. That'll solve the problem on the plane. I'll have to figure out some way of not losing it in taxis, trains, hotel luggage storage areas, etc. If I lose it, I will definitely buy another, but I'll have myself for losing such an expensive cushion. It is just that effective.

I don't spend money just for the sake of spending money, but I think this is one of the products that's worth buying the name brand. Several months ago, I tried a knockoff of the same type of cushion (grid, etc.) that was about 1/3 of the cost and the entire month I had it I was debating whether or not it made enough of a difference to justify keeping (I returned it). With this one from Purple, as soon as I sat on it the first time, I knew I'd keep it and still feel the same way about it after using it a while. I deducted half a star because I think it's somewhat overpriced, even with buying it on sale. I deducted another half star because it doesn't stay in place quite as well as I would like, especially considering the price. It stays in place moderately well, and it would probably do a bit better on some chairs than the one I have, though I can imagine it doing worse on some other chairs too, but I still have to slightly reposition the cushion every time I sit down if I need or want it to be in the "right" place. I've now been using this cushion for a month - long enough to feel qualified to say it has significantly improved my ability to sit and work at my computer for extended periods, but I haven't owned it long enough to offer insight into the longevity. It feels like it'll last a while, but only time will tell. I've also been using the cushion exclusively at my desk, but when I'm able to get back out on the road for some long trips in my van, I'm looking forward to using it there too. If it was cheaper, I'd probably buy a second one to keep one in the van and one at my desk. With my specific issues, on a good day, I used to be able to sit at my computer for up to maybe two or three hours total before the pain would be bad enough that I had to be done for the day, but with using this cushion I can go about three times as long. Sitting at my desk for sometimes several hours at a time, I don't know how to gauge the cooling effect, but I certainly don't get a hot butt. I had considered the next step down from this model, the "Office Chair Upgrade", but based on my experience with the other cushion I tried, I knew I wanted one that was big enough to cover the entire seat of my chair and that first one wasn't big enough. When I got the that one, I didn't think it would make as much of a difference as it does for me to have the cushion cover the full seat. The "Ultimate" is big enough to cover the seat side to side on my office chair and only falls a little short at the front edge, which is fine for me. Since my chair has a contoured seat already, I might have preferred a completely flat cushion, but not at the expense of size. For those who haven't tried cushions like this before, it's worth mentioning how it's going to affect the seat height and how that extra height could end up being positive, neutral, or negative. When I tried the knockoff, I wasn't thinking about how much it would change the seat height and it was a little surprising. But, I'm also a bit of a stickler when it comes to ergonomics, especially with some of the physical issues I have. Someone who doesn't need things to be as dialed in will be less affected. At my desk, I think the added height is an overall slight net positive: I'm tall enough to compensate for the cushion by adjusting my seat height without bottoming it out and since the armrests on my chair aren't adjustable, it slightly improves that for me so I'm using better posture and arm position for typing. For someone shorter, it could be the case they'd need to plan on a footrest or something to maintain proper ergonomics. In my van, though I haven't used it there yet, I expect it's going to be a solid positive because, while I'm tall enough that I'm not bottoming out my office chair even after adjusting it to compensate for the cushion, I'm short enough that the seat in my van (Ford E350) isn't comfortable for me for long trips since it isn't adjustable. This will give me the extra seat height there that I want there.

This cushion is an absolute lifesaver for truck drivers like me. It’s incredibly comfortable and well worth the high price tag, especially considering the long hours we spend sitting on bumpy roads across the country. The mesh design allows for excellent airflow especially for ventilated seats, keeping you cool and comfortable. I’ve used it for over a hundred thousand miles now, and it still holds up as good as the day I bought it. I even purchased a second one for my copilot, who rides and plays video games while I drive. She’s found it greatly reduces her back pain as well. I highly recommend this product to anyone who spends a lot of time sitting.

Love this seat cushion. It's so comfortable and takes pressure off my hips & sciatica pain. Where have you been all my life?

After using The purple cushion for approximately seven months now, I believe I can give an honest review. The cushion at first appeared to be very comfortable after utilizing it day after day inside a vehicle you’re going to realize that if you sit for more than 8 to 12 hours on the cushion Pressure starts to accumulate and build on your hamstrings, the cushion is great for your butt, but not very good for your hamstring area. It creates hard pressure due to how thick and hard the cushion is built. Also, it does not stay in place on the chair. You have to remove it from the vehicle on very hot days. I also purchased the smaller cushion, which does not work very well inside a vehicle. It is softer but not as large as this one. Sometimes I find myself removing the cushion and just sitting on the vehicle‘s chair to alleviate the pain underneath the hamstrings. This is probably best for someone that works at home and an office chair or a gamer, but not for someone that drives and sits in a vehicle for long hours. If only purple can come to a solution to fix how your hamstrings sit on the pillow, they will solve this problem and the cushion would be a five star cushion. Hopefully my opinion will help some of you out.

Bought it for the wifey because her chair seat was feeling hard and flat. She loves it. It even has a little dip in the back for your tailbone so it doesn't out pressure on it. It a bit bigger and thicker than I thought but not an issue. She says its very comfortable. Great buy!

Very comfortable, quality design, can sit for hours with this and no back pain. No S.W.A.S. I use it on top of a subwoofer for a nice spot to sit and play my guitar, it prevents my legs/glutes from going numb even after hours.

I've had long-term sit bone pain along with back pain. I tried a lot of seat cushions, but none gave me satisfactory relief. Finally, I found the Purple Ultimate Seat Cushion and decided to give it a try. As soon as I put it on my office chair, I felt relief right away. It's an amazing product! I can sit on it all day without any butt pain. There are no pressure points on my bottom, and it really distributes the pressure, alleviating my chronic sit bone pain. Even though my ErgoTune Supreme Ergonomic office chair provides great back support, its seat is a bit hard. This cushion has really helped relieve my sit bone pain. I'm extremely happy with my new Purple Ultimate Seat Cushion—it's the best seat cushion I've ever used.

Con esto ya no me canso de estar sentado, lo unico malo es que me me paro menos.

As advertised i definitely recommend it
