Customer Reviews of Obus Forme Gel Seat
Customer Review: Helps my aching back and legs
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a back injury that keeps me from walking much of the time, and having a comfortable seat means the difference between functioning or being trapped in bed with pain for days at a time. I had been looking for a new wheelchair seat (this is a seat cushion for regular chairs, not wheelchairs), and this gel seat caught my eye. I bought two, and am thrilled with my purchase. The way the gel is distributed in the seat helps me sit straight up and not lean to one side, and allows my legs to get proper blood circulation.
Obviously, this isn't a product for everyone, but when I'm not using a cushion, another family member is always "trying it out." I've gotten so many comments from the spouse that I'm seriously consider buying enough for each of us. At the very least, I am buying one more cushion for my high-school aged kid's desk chair. The chair that came with the desk is a hard wooden task chair that even looks uncomfortable. I asked the kid to try out the gel cushion, and it was reported that the cushion is such a success that I am not getting it back. Figures.
Customer Review: Makes work tolerable.
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this at work for 9 hours everyday and it's awesome. I've had it for a year now and performs/looks as if new. I'm surprised by some of the negative reviews for this. I weigh about 170 lbs and the difference it makes every morning that I sit on it is honestly worth 20x what I paid. When you have back pain, etc., of which I have multiple issues from my past, you know exactly what I mean. I do wish it was just slightly larger but I'm still highly pleased and will likely buy another one for other purposes in the future. While it's not as curved as it looks in the picture, it's totally irrelevant too. After sitting on it for a few hours, it does look like the picture. THIS IS NOT JUST A NORMAL CUSHION!!!!!!!! I have normal pillows and cushions at home and I assure you this is a high-tech product that actually does what the manufacturer claims it does. It will put a smile on your face; it does mine every morning at 8:00 A.M. I'm only writing this review b/c I was previously diswayed by the negative reviews and I don't want anyone else to be without an excellent product. :)Customer Review: This item stinks-literally smells awful!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this cushion following hip replacement surgery. A disclaimer came with cushion about an odor that would dissipate in 24 hrs. Not true. I aired it for over 4 days-even outside in a nice breeze. The odor clung to clothing if one sat on it.
So I tried to return it to HOMEDICS. My mistake! That company has given me nothing but grief and I will never purchase any thing from them again. They insist the documents printed from this website do not prove I purchased the item. Meanwhile, UPS has picked it up for return to Homedics--at their direction.
I realise now that I should have returned it to Amazon. com , but at the time could not remember what website I had used for the purchase. Homedics also will not reimbuse me full price that I paid. I am sure this would not have happened if I had used the Amazon.com return policy. Buyer beware of Homedics!
Customer Review: Fairly comfortable, wish it was thicker
Summary: 4 Stars
I sit in my desk chair several hours per day. My otherwise comfortable chair is suffering from thinning padding on the seat, so I bought this cushion to get more life out of the chair. I was immediately pleased with the results, and now one month later the cushion still seems in fine shape. It is not super-duper comfortable like I was hoping, but at least it does cushion the hardness that I feel protruding up through the padding of my chair. The gel seems to work great at holding its shape (note that the cushion is not shaped like in the picture but is in reality more flat). Maybe if it was a little thicker then I would have gotten that "ahhhh" super comfortable seat I was hoping for. I give 4 stars because it is doing what it's supposed to do, just not spectacularly.Customer Review: Picture Misleading But Still Does It's Job
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this item so I could work from home due to a recent surgery. My home office chair is pretty standard, but certainly not overly cushioned. The picture makes this thing look four times thicker than it actually is, so one star dropped off for that. The other star I took off is because it required a down pillow to be under it to make it properly cushion my bottom. However, I am ordering another one for my regular office as that chair has more cushion and should not prove to be an issue. If you have one of those wooden or metal chairs that has no seat padding at all, this will probably not work for you. That said, this would likely be a good choice for most car seats.
