Gel E Wheelchair Cushions with Gel Bladder

The gel pillow is quite thick and heavy. I thought it would be good for my mother-in-law because the base of her spine swells when she sits in the wheelchair too long. This pillow was hard, but when she sat in it, the gel "gave" a little. As the week went by, I noticed the pillow keeps an indented shape, so I turn the pillow over every day to prevent that "memory." I've sat on it myself, and it's not uncomfortable, but it's not what I expected. I wish I had purchased a coccyx pillow of some type for her swelling at the base of her tailbone.

Bought this for my 93 year old father-in-law's recliner chair. He absolutely loves it.

This is my first gel type cushion, too soon to judge well. I'm quadriplegic from polio, been confined to wheelchair for 65 years, always used foam rubber or polyurethane cushions successfully.
