Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm happy, but you might not...

Let's fix that first, everyone judges differently - here's how I do it: 5 stars: Product meets OR exceeds expectations 4 stars: It can There are improvements, but the product is good 3 stars: The product is acceptable, but could be better elsewhere or needs improvement 2 stars: Many or most things are wrong with the product, but it has some redeeming qualities 1 star: Stay away! This is a bad buy. In these stars I try to include the product's correspondence to the description, the price, the comparison with other products I've tried and the ease of use. My reviews can be long, so if you want to check them out, keep an eye on the topic headings. Also, I try to update my ratings so they can change over time. Why you need it: If you're looking for a comfortable pillow, this isn't it. If you have trouble bending forward - No --- I don't I don't recommend it. If you have trouble sitting back - Hey! this might work for you. What I use it for: I work on my computer, sometimes more than ten hours a day. I have an elevated computer stand so my neck doesn't bend, but I struggle with leaning back too much and arching my back when I'm sitting. I've been using this for about a week now and have found it helps me. Because it's UNCOMFORTABLE to be improperly seated in this thing. This means that sitting forward is the only comfortable option. That's all I wanted from this seat, so I'm happy. Cost: I deducted a star here. I can't imagine this thing costing $49.99 (the price at the time of writing this review). Nothing here seems "high" enough to support that cost. The material used, the shape, the cushions - I'd rather pay 35. I've been digging around on Amazon and this seems to be the current price for such items. Comfort: The description - at the time of this review - does not say it is a seat cushion, which is good as it is not. However, the product name contains "cushion" - it was a poor choice. This bucket-shaped thing has practically no padding. BUT I wasn't looking for pads so that's not a problem for me. However, this is misleading. I'm thinking about putting a pillow underneath because my computer seat is already flat, but haven't played with that yet. My Results: (Week 1) Because I'm not sitting incorrectly at my desk, it reduced my back pain at the end of the day. I have scar tissue on my back as well as other back issues that I treat with exercise so this won't be the "all solution" for me but it will get me further in my journey so I can't complain. .--Should I find any problems with prolonged use, I will update my review.
