Really wish I didn't order it.

I have been an Obus backrest user for years. They are not that comfortable, but using them continuously does wonders for your back problem.
However, I just can't see any benefit from the seat. It does make some seats softer, but $ 50 is a lot for what I consider a cosmetic item. Put your money into another backrest.
Not made for heavy people!

Product was Great for about a week. Product is obviously not made for anyone over above 250 lbs. Still feels better than my junk chair, but in the future I will purchase a better chair.
Great product for sciatica - makes driving bearable again.

I was skeptical about spending this much for a cushion, but I'm so glad I gave it a chance. I got it for a road trip at Thanksgiving when I was having a sciatica flareup and desperate to find anything that'd help me get through twelve hours in the car. The Obus Forme made the trip bearable, and has continued to be a comfort in the car every day since. Now I won't drive/ride without it.
Amazon, please lower your price.

2 stars because Amazon's price is $15 more than the non-ULTRA version and $10 more than the MSRP! Now, I love the Obus Forme Seat. But the problem is, the ULTRA and the non-ULTRA seats are THE SAME. I own them both. In fact, I wrote the Obus Forme myself about the difference and they replied: "Thank you for your inquiry regarding our two seats. There are few differences between the two seats, they are constructed from the same technology, however, the Ultra Seat is of a fabric that matches to the Ultra Forme while The Seat is offered in a variety of colors that are intended to match up with our other back rests (Lowback, Wideback etc...)
Your notation regarding a price differential is puzzling. While we cannot dictate price, ail of our products are marketed with suggested retail price. For your reference, MSRP for "The Seat: is $61.00 CDN and the "Ultra Seat" is $60.00 CDN. We trust this clarifies the similarities and differences in our two seat products."
Why is Amazon charging MORE THAN THE MSRP!!?
The fabric between the two seats-and I have them in front of me as I write-is indistinguishable. The comfort is the same. The cushioning is the same. In fact, Obus Forme says the MSRP for the ULTRA is CHEAPER!! 2 stars because you should get the non-ULTRA seat for 15.00 cheaper.
As for the seat: Its ESSENTIAL for people who live in coffee shops/ study all day/ sit at work constantly-and don't have a lotta cushion back there. Makes almost any chair better. Its profoundly good. Just be careful about letting people try it out...its hard to get it back from them!
Great Cushion

This helps me with my very bad back! It cushions the bumps of the road. I highly recommend it.
