Review on Optimized XL Gel Seat Cushion for Office Chair/Car/Wheelchair/Long Sitting | Breathable Chair Pad with Cooling Gel | Thick Cushions for Pressure Sores, Tailbone, Back, and Sciatica Pain Relief by Linda Fournier

This product is described as 'very large' but its physical dimensions are listed as 17 x 17 x 1.75 inches Photos showing actual dimensions are closer to 15.5" x 15.75". I wanted a cushion that would take up most of the mesh seat of my office chair, and the advertised size of 17" x 17" would be close to perfect. Other than that, the cushion is really comfortable to sit on and has a noticeable effect on comfort. throughout the day. The gel doesn't retain heat, which I really appreciate. At 220 pounds, I break the honeycomb easily, but it folds comfortably and doesn't create any noticeable pressure points. The material and the Flexibility reminds me a lot of the Purple pillow (although the Purple material is MUCH denser, heavier and softer than the material used in this product). The durability of this gel compared to a softer, denser material could potentially be an advantage in the long run as I expect it to wear better over a longer period of time. The gel and coating are odorless which was a pleasant surprise. I usually expect these materials to air out a bit to get rid of the factory/chemical smell that usually accompanies this type of material. The handle is not visible in the photo. I could see it being used as stadium seating on the go and would excel in that type of setting. The removable cover seems to be made out of decent quality material although I haven't washed it yet to see how good I expect it to be. endure over time. The stitching looks pretty good on me and seems to work well for everyday use. If the size was as advertised I would give 4 stars. At $40 I feel like it's a lot more expensive than it could be. At this price I would expect the sizing to actually place this in the advertised "XL" sizing range. Compared to competing products (in the real world size range of 15-16 inches, the typical price is between $15-$30) there is nothing that sets it apart enough to quantify a $30 price tag, let alone $40 -Dollar. The $20 mark (maybe $25 if the size is as advertised).
