PURAP Pressure Sore Cushion

THIS HIGH TECH, ANTI PRESSURE CUSHION REALLY DOES WORK. It looks like any other cushion, but there seems to be something in the layering of the materials that makes it work. After having searched and searched and having purchased some real losers, I ordered this cushion for my Mom who spends a lot of time in her wheelchair and had started to regularly develop a pressure sore right below her tailbone. She is in a first rate nursing home and lack of care is not the issue. We have been emphatic about her being up in her wheelchair and participating in life and not laying around in her bed so the pressure on her tailbone became an issue. She had just developed another sore just before the cushion arrived. This time, with the cushion in place, the sore healed really, really quickly...like within a week. Normally the staff would be nursing it along closer to 2 weeks or more before it would heal and the scab would fall off and then before we knew it another one would develop. It has now been almost a month and no new sore. We have all been checking her and there aren't even any red pressure areas on her behind anymore. The nurses can't believe it because this sore cycle has been going on for months. I highly recommend this cushion for anyone with similar issues. The best part is that there is no setup; it is a NO-BRAINER. Just take the cushion out of the box and put it on the wheelchair or whatever chair you're going to use it on. You don't have to pump any air, you don't have to mess with any straps (it stays in place), the person/patient does not have to be placed a certain way on the cushion and if being placed on a wheelchair, the cushion covers the entire seat instead of only covering half the seat and putting pressure on the back of the thighs. I am beyond relieved that my search for the perfect cushion has ended before my Mom's pressure sores became a real problem or worse yet, a life threatening problem. UPDATE: 09/08/2016 I am happy to report that the PURAP Low Pressure Cushion is still holding up after almost 2 years of constant use. My mom's cushion never leaves her wheelchair at the nursing home and THANKFULLY ever since we bought this cushion she has not had even one occurrence of the pressure sores that kept developing near her tailbone. Shortly after the initial purchase, I also had bought a second cushion for my aunt at the same nursing home and her cushion too has held up in the same manner after constant use. I am a firm believer in this company and this product. It has been a lifesaver for my now 95 year old mom because I know that had I not found this cushion after trying so many others, her pressure sores would have become a huge medical problem. Since the 2 cushions worked out so well, I recently ordered their new OASIS office cushion that I am using and enjoying at work.

This cushion prevented my dad from getting pressure wounds which was an issue with other cushions. It is very comfortable and stays put. If you can afford it it is well worth getting. After he no longer needed it we gave it to my mother in law who was becoming non ambulatory after she passed we gave it to friend’s mother and she loves it. This is all to show how durable and functional this product is. Sadly the new one we purchased for my mom had to be returned before she was able to use it. I recommend the additional washable cover that can be purchased on Amazon.

My 83 year old mom who prefers to sleep in a recliner loves it!!! Her pressure sore is healing! We like the fact she can use it for her recliner, wheelchair and the car. It's a little pricey but worth it to have my mom comfortable.

Recovering from rotator cuff shoulder surgery. Have been regulated to sleeping in a recliner for extended period. Purchased a medical grade recliner but was still having issues with sitting for long periods as well as sleeping. This cushion is amazing so far. Very comfortable and I am so pleased with it. Truly a wonderful product!

My mother is suffering from a bad bed sore on her bottom that happened when hospital didn’t have her on the air Mattress as stated they did following broken hip surgery. The pain in her bottom from the bed sore is so bad she can’t stand to sit or lay for very long so she’s consistently getting up and changing positions. It is healing but the sore was deep so wound nurses say it will be weeks more before it’s completely healed. We bought several pillows none really worked at all and put her sore under more pressure as other products pulled at her skin due to their design. Did a lot of research and found out about this product. Decided it was worth the cost to give it a try and I’m so glad I did. From the first moment she sat on it she instantly felt less pain. It was immediate!!! She said it feels as if she is “floating” on the cushion. It evenly distributed the pressure all over and so she reports the severe pain from her bed sore is significantly reduced and tolerable. She is gonna try sleeping on it tonight to see if it helps in bed too. I don’t usually highly recommend products but this Purap Seat Cushion I Definitely do. If you know someone suffering it’s worth the money.

Provides great pressure relief when used on my lift recliner. It’s a little too thin to use comfortably on my wheelchair sling seat but on my recliner it’s great. It really is better for my recliner than the ROHO I was using previously (though I still prefer my ROHO for my wheelchair) since it’s a much lower profile so it doesn’t lift me out of proper position on the chair. So far it definitely seems worth the money and I am very pleased with it. Edit: I’ve found another great use for this cushion for when I’m in my bed as well! My heels are prone to pressure sores so I stick my purap cushion into a pillow case and use it to cushion my heels while bedbound. It’s thinness is perfect for my heels because it doesn’t elevate then the way thicker pressure sore foot cushions usually do, and so the purap cushion doesn’t cause the hyper-extension of my knees the way the thicker cushions will. Excellent product. Well worth every last dollar.

After mum had a stroke we were given a cushion however she became sore and areas brokedown I tried several cushions including repose but to no avail. Found this on Amazon pricey yes but mums had this since 2021 sacral area skin in good condition considering she cannot move. If skin grazes medi honey heels well. She loves this cushion used in wheelchair aswell .

My 97 year old dad wanted a comfortable cushion for his recliner. WE have been through many. We couldn't find one, decided to check on Amazon. It is more expensive than others but worth it. He loved it from the moment he used it and says it is very comfortable. Keeps thanking me! Very happy with the purchase.We don't need to look any further....

Confortable.
