Hey everybody it's Doctor Jo, and it's
product review time again. The folks at
ComfyWise sent me their orthopedic
seat cushion. So let's get started.
This is actually their
updated version. It's a little bit softer
than the original one. They took some
feedback and made it a little bit better,
and so I'm going to show you all the
nice perks about it.
Not only is it nice and soft,
it gives you a good comfy seat to sit on
which helps put you in a good posture. So
the great thing about this is, let's say
you have a coccyx injury or back pain in
general. What it does is when you sit on
it, it helps put you in a neutral position,
so you're straight up-and-down. It helps
keep you in that position that's not
slumping down and things like that, and
it helps make them more comfortable in
general. Right here, this little opening
goes in the back. So if you actually have
an injury back there, it takes all the
pressure off of it. That's really nice. It
has that opening so when you're sitting
down you're not putting all of your body
weight in one spot.
It's also really nice because you can
see here these little contours, and that
goes in the front, and the reason that is
good is because when you're sitting for a
long period of time, if you're working on
the computer and you're not getting up
and taking a whole lot of breaks, a lot
of times the pressure underneath your
legs on the chair ends up making your
legs fall asleep because it is cutting
off the circulation, is pressing on
nerves back there, so these contours
right here are really nice because it helps
take some of that pressure off the front
as well as the pressure in the back. Also
the outside of the cushion is
super soft. If you just rub on, it's really
really nice and soft, super comfortable.
If you're wearing shorts or something,
that's nice because it's not
uncomfortable and itchy and scratchy
on the skin. What I also like on the back
here is they have these little silicone
spot here to help with the friction, so
it doesn't slide all over the seat. And
these are a little more
pronounced than some of the other
cushions I've seen so it stays in one
place very nicely, so I like that as well.
You can also take the outer piece off
and wash it occasionally, so if it gets
a little bit dirty or if you're using it
in a wheelchair or something and it gets
soiled, then you can just take the outer
piece off and wash it, so that's really
nice as well.
It also has a little carrying handle
here so you can easily carry it with you,
so you don't have to hold all around it, so
that's nice, and then they even have a
bonus so if you don't just want to use
the handles, you have a nice bag and what's
nice with the bag is you don't have to
just use it for the cushion you can use
it for anything else, so that's really
really nice.
So make sure when you put it in the seat
the opening goes in the back, so those
little contours go in the front and you
can sit right on it, and as you can see as
soon as I sit on it, I situp a little bit
taller because the way it's designed, it
push those hips in that neutral position,
and you can see right here where my legs
go in those contours, so something
especially like sciatic pain, if you have
sciatica, this really helps take some
pressure off those areas to make it nice
and comfortable. Even a women who are
pregnant that are having a lot of
back pain because a lot of times it
pulls them forward and that back gets
out of that neutral position, but these
cushions help keep you in that neutral
position so it's really nice. It's
comfy, it's not too firm and it's not too
soft. It makes me feel like I'm
sitting on something softer than just
the hard chair, but it puts me in that
nice upright position as well. When
you're sitting on a cushion, make sure
that your feet are flat on the ground, so
if you're in the chair and then you put
the cushion in and your feet are a little
bit higher, make sure you adjust that
because you want your knees and your
hips to be at about a 90 degree angle.
That also helps with the good posture as
well, but what I really like about the
cushion is if I try and slouch it feels
weird, so it really feels more
comfortable when you're in that upright
position, so I think it does a really
good job of that. And again that opening
in the back takes that pressure off for
just back pain in general, a herniated disc,
stenosis, things like that, and then in
the front it takes the pressure off here
so if you have circulation pain, nerve
pain, going down into your legs it helps
protect that as well, so it's a really
nice cushion. It's something really nice to
have especially if you sit for long
periods working, or if you just on your
computer in general for fun,
make sure you have something keeping
that nice neutral position because when
you're working on stuff sometimes you
forget to take breaks often, so make sure
you take care of your body and keep that
back in that nice neutral position, keep
your booty comfortable, and it helps also
to make sure that you don't get those
pressure sores. If you have any questions, leave
