We eat dinners in the family room while watching a movie and sit on an old couch with a coffee table that raises to table height. I am 77 years old and sitting on the worn and flattened cushions of the couch was causing pain in my hips so that it was difficult to walk for a bit when I got up from the couch. By the end of a 2-hour movie, my legs were uncomfortable, beginning to ache, and felt like the blood supply was cut off from them because the couch cushion flattened so that the frame of the couch was hitting the back of my thigh.

Since we haven't found time to get out to find a replacement couch, I turned to Amazon to find a temporary solution. I ordered this "butt cushion" in addition to 4 others in hopes that one of them would relieve the discomfort of sitting on our couch. I wanted something firm enough to overcome the flattening of the old couch cushions, but, it trying the different cushions, I found that shape and size is also important. Since I weigh 112 lbs., most of the cushions I ordered were firm enough, but the support offered by each was different. Some flattened after a short time, and some just weren't very comfortable because of the shape.

This cushion is more expensive than the others I tried, but saving money at the expense of less comfort wasn't an option. I have been using this cushion every night for over a week, and no longer have the hip pain when I get up from the couch. The leg discomfort is also gone. The 4 other cushions have been returned. Since I weigh 112 lbs., I can't vouch for how this cushion would hold up to more weight, but it works for me and I am happy with it.

UPDATE 07/30/24:
I have been using this "butt cushion" every evening for at least 3 hours for the last 2 months, and I wouldn't want to do without it. In this time, it has not flattened at all, is very supportive, and perfectly fits the contour of my butt and thighs so I no longer get pains in my hips and legs from sitting on our old couch. You would think that finding a suitable cushion to sit on would be an easy task. In my experience of trying different cushions, I found that the perfect cushion is a very personal thing. Not only does it have to supply a comfortable firmness for support, but it must conform to your individual "butt contour". It is often necessary to try more than one to find the one that is perfect for you. This cushion is all that for me.

UPDATE 12/16/24:
I have now been using this cushion on my couch to sit on for over 6 months. It is still as supportive as it was when new, and has not flattened at all. Since using it, I have not had pains in my hips or legs after sitting on the couch. The cushion is so comfortable, we have put off getting a new couch. I suppose this is the only down side to having a comfortable cushion to sit on.

I hope this review was helpful for you.

I’m 26 weeks pregnant and my home office chair is a cheap one off Amazon. My hips and back are killing me after sitting for so many hours.
I bought this as it was recommended in a pregnancy group I’m in, and I’m pleasantly surprised. It doesn’t take away all the pain, but I notice a huge difference now - I’ve been using it for several days and there’s less pain when I stand up. It’s comfy to sit on, didn't have a smell, and seems to be of good quality. It’s memory foam so it fluffs back up when I stand up. Seems like it will hold up well - we’ll see. I only have 14 more weeks of needing it anyway. For the cost, I would buy again!

I fractured my sacrum on both sides and damaged those ligaments to the coccyx 12 years ago after a fall on ice. If I sit too much, I still sometimes have pain flare up that lasts for weeks or months, I’ve tried numerous different therapeutic cushions. This arrived yesterday and I can already tell it’s the best cushion I’ve tried yet. I’m in the middle of a pain cycle now, but sat for one hour in complete comfort yesterday. It seems the perfect combination of support and softness. The curve at the back is ideal. I took a chance, thinking it was rather expensive, but knowing it could be returned. It was worth the cost! And the delivery was within a few hours of ordering. Highly recommend.
