There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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.
He complains all the time about the pain of sitting in a wheelchair all day long. He has had the cushion for about a week and has raved about it every day. I almost can't believe it.
And of course, I'd never tell him how much I paid for it. But it is "Priceless" if he is FINALLY comfortable. I have contemplated over and over about buying myself one for work on my office chair. I'm hoping his will last. I'm going to wait several weeks or a month and see if this cushion holds up. So far so good-- and I am 100% Satisfied, I am absolutely thrilled that he has relief from pain. He is a former linebacker @240 pounds.
Enter this cushion. I noticed a difference as soon as I began using it. After a few days, the pain disappeared. It is fairly breathable, so I don't have to worry about excess perspiration. If I had to complain, it would be the price. But to eliminate the sitting-sores, I clock this in at a solid 5-stars.

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.
