After having a gel cushion turn into a hard rock and a foam cushion just flatten, I decided to put my money where my butt was - and to avoid pressure sores - and get a good one. I now have a Supracor Stimulite honeycomb style. I had the first one 3 years and it was still good when I had to move to a different sized chair. The new one is just as good after a year. It is not a soft cushion. It is formed to your physical parameters so you get support in some areas and lifts you around in other areas so you have a much less chance of getting sores. It is expensive but cheaper in the long run considering the other two failed and ended up costing me more than one supracor. I am in my chair 20 hours or more a day.

I am not in a wheelchair, but I need a cushion on my steno chair to raise me up a bit for the computer. Since I am heavy (262#), every cushion I have tried, no matter what it says on the box, just smashes flat like a pancake under me. The only ones that don't squash are hard uncomfortable kapock or whatever, and they give me a numb bum! Has anybody found anything this is really comfortable and yet doesn't squash flat when you sit on it? thanks, Michelle ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 6:47 PM Subject: [TMIC] gel cushion Has anyone ever ordered this or something similiar??
