Hey everybody it's Doctor Jo. It's product review time again. The folks at Ergo21 sent
me the Original Extreme Comfort Seat Cushion. Let me just say, it's pretty comfortable.
There's a lot of neat things to this cushion, which I really like. The first part is the
actual cover of the cushion. It's a high-quality nylon. Which is water repellent, it's not
actually water proof, but the water just kind of beads off of it. It's nice and smooth which
is actually good because when you sit on it, it makes you slightly move just a little bit
so that helps prevent pressure sores cause you're not just staying in one spot, you're
making slight movements the whole time and that helps increase the circulation in the
bottom. The next really, really cool thing about it is on the inside, it has these liquid
cell membranes, and it's called LiquiCell Technology. This kind of technology is actually
used in hospital beds all around the country. And what it does is, again, prevents those
bed sores because it helps protect the skin and stop the friction and shearing action
of the skin which causes those bed sores that can get really scary, it even cause death
if they're not taken care of properly, so it's nice to have this technology when you're
sitting because then you don't have to worry about those pressure sores if you can't get
up and sit down often and you can't move a whole lot. The other cool component of this
is it has a slight angle to it. It starts at about 2 inches and goes down to 1 inch.
This helps because it takes the pressure off of your thighs when you're sitting. So it
kind of puts you down almost helps your pelvis go into a neutral position as well so it puts
it in the pelvic neutral position and then takes the pressure off your thighs. So if
you sit for a long period and your legs go numb, a lot of times that's because there's
too much pressure down at the thighs, so this will help increase that circulation and hopefully
prevent that numbness. So if you have just back pain in general, leg pain, herniated
disc, disc compression, this is really gonna help protect everything, put you in that upright,
neutral position to help you stay comfortable if you have to sit for a long time. It also
has little silicone logos on the bottom here, which once you put it down, it actually keeps
it in place and doesn't slide a whole lot. So especially if you have it in your car,
it'll stay in one spot when you're getting in and out of the car. Also with it only being
2 inches, verses some other cushions that may be 3 or 4 inches, again if you have in
like a car, you don't end up almost hitting your head if you're really tall. I'm only
about 5'7" but a lot of times with higher cushions, you get closer to that ceiling and
you feel like you have to crunch a little bit. So this helps you be able to keep that
upright position without feeling like you're gonna bonk your head on the ceiling. So let's
try it out and see how it feels. So when you're putting it in the chair, you want the thicker
piece with the logo to go in the back, and you want the silicone portion to go on the
bottom. As you can see this is a slick chair, but once you get it in, it actually stays
in one spot. So it's not sliding around, you're not gonna fall off the chair when the whole
cushion slides. Once you sit down, I immediately notice that the foam around the liquid membranes
is nice and firm, it holds you up. They tested 19 different types of foam and picked this
one, so they made sure that it was the right for their cushion. It puts me in an upright
position. Again this angle helps put my pelvis into a neutral position which then keeps everything
else in my spine nice and upright so I'm not hunched over, which will cause neck pain and
back pain. I'm in that position where we're supposed to be, but we're not always when
we're sitting in a chair for a long time. It's super comfortable and again this material
helps you slightly move, but you don't feel that you're moving so that's nice. But you're
kind of working those muscles as well. Sometimes people said the first time they sit on it,
they're actually tired. And that's because you're working those muscles in a way that
you might not have been working them for a while. So not only does it help protect you
with your spine and not cause the pain, but you're working those muscles to help you get
stronger overall in general. So if you'd like to find out some more information on the cushions,
