I ordered this seat ring due to hip problems and pain when sitting. Since I professionally sit almost all day at his desk, I hoped for a significant relief while sitting by the foam pad. The first impression was "but it feels quite hard on." However, I could feel the positive effect of the pillow after a few minutes. It really helps to reduce pain seat and is very suitable for people with my weight (about 75kg-80kg). A long-term test I have not been able to do, but at least it seems as if the pillow will keep its shape over a long period. It is also relatively thick in comparison to a standard foam cushion. Positive also the blue nylon fabric cover shall be listed. Actually, I had a pillow expected as seen on the preview image of Amazon. This is not like that. The pillow is again wrapped in a blue coat which concealed even the hole in the middle. The pillows so do not look like a ring, but rather as a normal seat cushion. The ring one notices only when sit on. Overall I am very satisfied with the pillow because I already an air-filled cushion, and various thin foam seat cushion with me have home that offer a significantly poorer comfort compared. Plus the fair price compared to similar pads sanitary dealer. I am happy.
