do you need to add air into the cushion when you first get it? or do you use as it?

Use it as is. I've had mine since December 2013 and use it at my sewing machine-10+ hours a week. Still in perfect shape. My back no longer hurts after a long sewing session.

The cushion comes already to sit on. Nothing to add or inflate at all. My husband loves it.

I used it as is. My sister added air because she wanted hers firmer. It was okay for me as is.

Yes. You need to add air. I did it with a bike pump that had a basketball air fill needle on it. Hope that helps :)

Hi Nancela, After the first fill, you'll need to occasionally add air to the ball. Once you settle on a good PSI you should use the gauge to test if it's where you like it and maintain that setting.

You may have to physically blow some additional air into the valve to fully inflate - and thus fully extend - the mat.Only complaint I have with mat is I'm a 'side sleeper' and the 2" thickness is still not enough to avoid pressure points at hip and shoulder. (Adult male, 5'9", 195#.... Maye the 195# thing is more of the issue!!)

Separate fill ports to inflate it. I did use a air compressor. It is pretty big.

No one says that you need to have air pump in order to inflate the ball.I purchase this and not able to play since i don't have air pump. Make sure you get air pump too.

Twist the knob and the cushion sucks in the air.You can always blow into the cushion for a more firmer cushion.

It is not designed to be a seat cushion. It would be uncomfortable. The design is that it has only enough air in it to make it mold to your back. In fact if you over inflate it, it is not comfortable on your back. You could sit on a seat style cushion and use this for you back and it is very comfortable. I hope that is helpful.

You should buy a heavy filler from ikea or a down filler from somewhere and pin it inside this, that's what I did and it's super comfy and my daughter loves it! Also in the spring and summer you can get a lighter one and switch it out and it's really airy! Wash it with softener before you use it and it's not so bad!

The pump seemed to worked fine for me. I've only added air once or twice- but I use the cushion differently than most. I use it in my car for lumbar support- I place it between my back and the seat back- it makes a huge difference in how I feel.

My experience was that the cushion was not soft at all. If you use it backwards, it might do the trick for you, but can't guarantee it.

I have 3 of these. I would use a layer of the cheaper foam or cardboard before adding the air mattress. Depending on what your air mattress is made of.

You want to get pad damp first prior to putting on. It heats pretty fast but if you wanna wait a minute or two that's fine. I normally just start right away.

Yes. inflat to the max. wait a few days,use it, sit on it. In time it will stretch out. You feel the difference once it's stretched out.

No, the cushion is just ok. I have a bigger bottom so the hole in the center of the cushion is not big enough : ( I used it on a long car ride & I think it hurt my bottom worse.

No, the cushion is not inflatable. The cushion comes naturally about an inch and a half thick, padded. Good for air too pass through, leaving an option to put in a cusion, or blanket of your own.

No, you'll have one half inch of extra cushion on each end. If you want it to look tightly filled, a half inch of foam rubber will do it.

After I filled it the first time it was still a bit soft, so I put more air in it. It was fine. I have a lower back issue, and It felt fine in the morning.
