On the strength of their advertisements I purchased four "Egg Sitter" cushions for my wife and I. We are average size and weight. Initially they were comfortable but after several months of use they began to compress and lose a lot of their effectiveness. The BulbHead company that handles them asked me to send them back for replacement at my expense. After I returned them they informed me that they no longer sell them so I am out $120 for the purchase and $24 for shipping and have nothing. They will not return the ones I sent. They did offer a partial merchandise credit but they don't have anything else we want. After a lot of internet searching I am finding a lot of foam type cushions but the complaint on all of them seems to be loss of effectiveness after months of use. Have any of you found a good and durable cushion anywhere?

Call these guys. I had replacement seat cushions made for some chairs back in 2008 when I lived in the area and they are still the same firmness today. I did have to bring them one of the chairs as it was a custom job.

The sewing circle ladies passed around one of those egg sitter cushions ,

Five of them did not like it, the 6th gal used it for three weeks and gave it away as well.

A year or so back my wife bought me a memory foam cushion to use in my recliner and in her SUV on trips. The intent was to help alleviate some back symptoms while traveling and my recliner is aging. It is 18" X 20" X 3" with a grey velour removable washable cover and a small grey pebbly bottom presumably to minimize movement. It has worked great! One caution do not use an ice pack on memory foam it causes it to shrink and get hard as a rock! Recovers when back to room temperature. Also accentuates the effect of a heating pad
She got it on Amazon and is made in China. Mine is called a Comfysure.
Hope this gives you another option.

I have a Wondergel (now “Purple”) seat cushion that I used on an office chair for several years and still use on my car seat for long trips. It has held up fine and other than seeming a bit unsteady when sitting on it at first, it is more comfortable than the foam-based cushions I’ve experimented with.

As suggested above, consider having firmer/newer cushions cut to fit and replace the actual chair cushions rather than putting something on top. We did this a few years ago on a sofa and chair with excellent results. Plus it looks way better!

Soooo, did I get this right? They

a) sell a product that becomes worthless after a few months of normal usage,
b) they tell you to send it back at your expense to replace it,
c) then they reneg on b) and don't replace it and
d) won't return it

If that's true, they're a poster child for crappy customer service and shoddy products.

That is accurate!

I've been using this memory foam one on my desk chair from Comfort 4Ever since Feburary and it doesn't feel much different than when it was new...$30 from Amazon

During the stay-at-home, this cushion gets a lot of use every day

Maybe the My Pillow Guy can invent a My Butt Pad.

Needed a chair cushion for an Amish rocking chair I purchased many years ago. The seat was an odd size and shape. I couldn't find anything locally that worked.

SOooo ... I bought a black exercise mat. One of those high density foamy ones and cut the mat to size and perfectly for the Amish rocker.

After a few years, I decided I didn't need the rocking chair and placed a craigslist for it. Amish rocking chair sold within a couple a days. Thing is ... when the buyer showed up to take a look, they asked that I include the custom made "cushion" I'd "fabricated" ... deal

I use this one on my rowing machine - < $22 shipped.

Purple makes good gel-waffle pads for chairs. I’ve been using one 7 hours a day for 5 years.

I'd say the way the company handled this was more than bad customer service and borderline fraud.
Have you call the credit card company to see if there is anything they can do to get your money back or put some heat on them?

Take your chair cushion to a local uphostery shop, tell them your problem and have them put in better more dense foam.

Lots of cushions are open cell foam, this compresses over time, eventually your butt is on the base.

As a comparison the old Harley motorcycle seats were made with super soft open cell foam, after an hour your ass was riding on the base and frame, creating hot spots. Solution was an aftermarket seat with better foam.
