purple royal seat cushion $65

[fralexandr]

Edit: usandthem mentioned sam's club sells a purple seat cushion. It doesn't appear to be sold elsewhere and probably falls halfway between the portable (~$40) and double (~$100). $35 17.5"x15.75"x1.5"

Supposedly good for people that sit for long periods of time and have back/butt pain.

This is the royal version which is ~18x16x2. supposed to be good for heavier/larger people in comparison to the thinner/smaller versions. $65.

Note: do not leave on seat in hot vehicles, as product may be damaged at temperatures greater than 105F, manufacturer suggests stowing below seats.

camelcamelcamel doesn't list a lower price on this, though the miracle supreme version (supposedly the same manufacturer as purple) has been cheaper (~$45) once in 2014. Normally priced at ~$80.

Interesting. I bought a set of four set cushions from walmart.com, for like $15. They work OK, but after around two weeks, they were getting a little "deflated". (I weigh 400 lbs.) I've still got two more "fresh" unused ones, but I've doubled-up the two that were deflated, and I fear, even with two, that they will get even more deflated. They are micro-suede covering polyfill. They also don't cover the entire seat, seems as though they were meant for most wooden chairs?

Anyways, I'm always on the lookout for something better, even if I have to buy a new set of four every four months.

I clicked on your link, then I clicked "add to bag", after copying the code "SHOP", but then it said, "a technical error occurred".

Edit: Had to disable UBlock Origin, to use their cart. I added to cart again, selected "Check out", added promo code, clicked "Paypal", typed in my info, went back to Macy's site, showed address, clicked "Next", then clicked "Submit order", then it went to a blank page, with a CARTID, and a "Chat online", and an 800 number. Did my online order go through, or not? Hmm.

That seat cushion looks really solid though, better than polyfill cushions. When they said it was for long-haul truckers, among others, I was sold. That's serious utility right there!

Edit: Paypal sent me an e-mail, but none from macys.com yet. I wonder if the transaction went through or not. There's a Paypal authorization, but no order number yet.

Edit: Just checked my e-mail, I DID finally get an e-mail order confirmation from Macy's. Maybe they were just overloaded when I initially ordered, or they were waiting for my Paypal to clear.

I used a credit card, and didn't have any problems. Received a confirmation email from macy's right after ordering it. >.<

 

[VirtualLarry]

Hmm, still no confirmation e-mail, must not have gone through for some reason. This was my first macys.com purchase. Think that they wanted to voice-verify or something? Weird, never had issues with Paypal at other sites.

It looks like Bed Bath and Beyond carries it as well. If anyone keeps all the 20% off coupons they send in the mail, it should come out to around the same price ($64). Plus, my local stores stock it, so it can be picked up in store.

$79 from the brand website: https://purple.com/seatcushions/buy?model=Royal

Exactly what problem does this product solve?

For people like me with bad backs, it really helps when I have to sit for long periods in a chair like at things like school functions or longer car rides.

I just got my cushion this morning and installed it. (UPS guy actually woke me up.)

Pretty Niiiiiiice. Came double-boxed, the inner box had a transparent top window, you could see the rubber-ish soft purple mesh support, and underneath, once you open it, is a black cover that zips open, that you put your purple royal into. The bumpy-side goes down, apparently. (Non-slip surface.)

Works pretty well thus far. I'll try to follow up in a couple of weeks and a month, to see if it compresses / bends / wears down. I have good hope for this one, hope it lasts a year or even several for me.

I wonder if this is better than those Egg Sitter cushion I saw on Amazon. Those claimed to be good for your back as well. How soft is it?

They have them on display at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and they are very soft. There's even another gel cushion that they sell there for I think $30, and it doesn't come close to this one. It's pricey, but it is really nice.

 

[nisryus]

Thx UsandThem. It is just what I need since I sit for a long time. Gonna check them out.

"The internet hates him, and I didn't think it could possibly true until I tried it myself!"

Seriously though, I went shopping at Sam's Club tonight, and they had this Purple cushion for $34.99. I'm not sure if it's clearance, or if the price is regional, so your mileage may vary. It wasn't tagged like it was on sale or had an instant rebate.

That being said, I picked another one up.

looks like a custom one that's Sam's Club only? Somewhere between the portable (typically ~$40) and double (typically ~$100).

Major derp! on my part

Good catch, I totally missed that. I just saw the price and bought it without really looking that close at it.

Yeah, so this one's about 1/2" thinner, and uses a different pattern (the normal version is a honeycomb design).

That said, it's still pretty dang comfortable for anyone who wants one, but doesn't want to spend that much on the original.

Still going pretty good for me. Occasionally, but rarely, my G.M. may get a little cramped, and I have to scoot around a tiny bit on the seat cushion, but overall, I think that it was worth it. Will follow up at the end of Jan, may unzip the cover, to see if the space-age material has degraded or deformed at all due to my weight.
