PURAP Wheelchair Cushion for Bedsore Prevention and Healing - Patented Liquid + Air + Foam Layers – 18 x 20 x 1.5 inches - Blue

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.

No more seat sores! Does a great job in the wheelchair, in the house furniture, and in the outdoor iron furniture!

Have had mine for a couple of years now and it needs replacing. However, Amazon has gone up around 100% in cost since I bought mine.

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: 09/08/2016I 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 is worthless. Did not last at all and I do not use it all the time. I contacted the company, and they do not stand by this product. I Paid $175.00 out of my pocket and now I need to find another cushion. What a waste. This is the first time I have ever written a review. Again, stay far away from this product and shame on the company for turning their back on the consumer.

As a retired registered nurse, I decided to purchase this particular cushion becuase of the scientific clinical trials that supported it to have the" lowest sitting pressures", compared with other similar products. I originally bought this PURAP 3D Fluid Flotation Cushion for my 91 yr. old mother. While visiting her in the nursing home I sat on her cushion and I was amazed at how comfortable it was and how portable. We took it with us in the car, in her wheel chair, every where we went so she could be comfortable sitting. Upon returning home I purchased one for myself. I found that my lower back strain was absent when sitting on this pillow while working at the computer or driving. Just recently I purchased one for my brother who has MS; his response was, "WOW", how nice it was to be able to sit and not be in uncomfortalbe. This product is well made, the top blue portion is smooth and the bottom of the cushion has small circular nubs to help it stay in place on the seat of a chair. The internal design is the result of innovative engineering. So far I have purchased 3 PURAP Cushions and have not been disappointed; well worth the money.
