Customer Reviews of Carex Inflatable Ring Cushion, Rubber
Customer Review: Not the most comfortable, unfortunately
Summary: 3 Stars
I won't lie--I'm a heavy guy (close to 250) who spends a lot of time sitting, and my weight all but destroys the cushions on most desk chairs. I've tried other cushions, including memory foam pillows and foam ring pillows, to alleviate this problem, but in the end they all get crushed too. So after reading reviews here, I gave this a shot.
The biggest plus its got going for it is that I can't crush it with my weight; it's got plenty of give, but not so much it gets squashed. Unfortunately it loses big points on comfort. Whether fully or partially inflated, it creates uncomfortable pressure points on the thighs and seems to strain my lower back; it's also wobbly rather than firm (even at full inflation). The doughnut hole in the middle is also just a touch too big, meaning more pressure points form around your bottom. Results, of course, will vary depending on your size; as I'm using it more as a cushion than a ring, I've alleviated some of the problem by putting a thin pillow over the top. Another plus is this is very well made of strong rubber with a solid metal fill valve, so it's more akin to an inner tube from a tire than say, a pool float ring. It will last.
Filling it is easy; just loose the cap and blow through the built-in valve. What would have been better though would be to use a flapper valve like is found in air mattresses as well, that drops back to lock in air when you start blowing. As it is you have to be fast or most of the air you just blew in, is going to come right back out. Takes a bit of practice to get used to that.
The rubber smell complained about in other reviews is there but after a time, I hardly noticed it; it seems as the rubber warms it becomes slightly stronger, but not overpowering.
All in all it's a sturdy ring cushion that will last a long time, but your mileage in use will vary depending on your size, sitting habits, etc. A suggestion for Carex might be to offer the ring with varying size inner rings, as well as the above-mentioned flapper valve to lock in air when filling.
