My husband works in an office and is having problems with hemorrhoids and leg pain at night. Is this the right cushion for him? He weighs 200 pounds and is 6 2 tall.

I have to say this seat cushion has helped me a ton. I have two discs protrusions and it does relieve the pressure on my spine. I can't say for sure from a size prospective....I'm 5'5" and weigh about 117 lbs.....I say its worth a shot!

It works for my back pain - not sure the opening is big enough for a large man + hemorrhoids. I'm 5'7"

The Tush cush pillow helps relieve my lower back pain and I can really feel the support I get while sitting on it.

I think it depends on where the hemorrhoidal pain is. This has a very small opening at the back center of the cushion. So if his pain is off-center, this will not be comfortable. And the cushion itself is fairly firm, not soft and yielding like the traditional donut cushion which might be better. Good luck. I hope his pain gets better.

I looked at the tags on the chair, and it says not recommended for over 225 lbs. I sit in it and I weigh about 115 lbs. My grandson who is 7 and 60 lbs, loves it, and it is comfy... I think it would be a good comfy chair for your husband.

I had hemorrhoids when I was commuting 70 miles a day and this pillow saved my butt literally. I use it now while on the computer and it makes a big difference. Be sure your back is also well supported while sitting. Slumping while at the computer or watching TV will aggravate your condition. Also take a break like every hour from sitting, walk if you can or lie down if you can.

I think the Airhawk R is a great choice. It measures approximately 15.25"w x 14"d. Just be sure to measure your bike seat before you buy this cushion.

I don't know the answer to the questions, since I am using the gel cushion for only 2 continuous hours at the most and use it to relief discomfort. For longer use or to relieve greater pressure a thicker gel cushion may work better. I am pleased with how the 2 inch pad works for me.

I would think this would a little on the thinner side to support extremely obese person and in roho website the a 250 ibs weight limit. If properly inflated it should be better than basic foam cushion but maybe not for "extremely obese persons". Hope this helps http://www.therohogroup.com/products/seat%20cushions/mosaic_cushion.jsp

I'm 6'-3", 230 pounds, and it works well for me. It's similar to the cushion used by my physical therapist.

It will depend a little on what you're using the ball for. I am also 5'5", but I'm currently 280 lbs. I sit on the blue 75cm ball every day at work as my office "chair". Mine is somewhat too large for me fully inflated as it will push my calves away from me, not really allowing a "proper" 90 degree bend at my knees. Without this size ball, however, I'd be sitting far too low at my desk to function. As an exercise ball, I firmly believe the 65 cm ball will work well for you with no question. As an office "chair" make sure to account for your weight and measure to ensure this will give you enough height. Measure the distance from hip to floor while sitting on your current desk chair (adjusted to your required working height). Then see if you can sit on a friend's exercise ball or a ball at your local gym and measure again from hip to floor and compare. If the properly inflated ball allows you enough height to work, you're good to go!

It is not a small cushion. It would fit all sizes of people. The main part that helps you is the middle, where it cushions your tail bone.

I wouldn't recommend it because it's textured so it feels rough on skin. But perhaps worse, it's too thin at only 3/8" to provide cushioning for an area as sensitive as the knees. It would be especially stressful if you bow and move during prayer as some Muslims and Buddhist do. I'd recommend something 3/4-1" thick and very firm, like a child's play mat. They are made to cushion falls. You might even consider using a chair pad or sleeping pillow, whether memory foam, regular foam or feather.

This foot cushion is pretty firm. But I'm not sure if you want to put your weight on it because it will take you out of balance. If you just wish to rest one leg then it should be ok. Good luck.

As to comfort this may depend on individual size, preferences but I do find these stools very comfortable for extended seating however check that with the minimal stool height of 24", that, your work desk is high enough to accommodate you in a seated position and at a good working height.

It would probably be to tall but might work. I drive a tractor trailer at night and it helps my back but probably would have liked their original gel cushion better because the extreme seems to be a little too tall and seems hard to get comfortable on. I would try a thinner version.

i am currently sitting at 185-190 and its fine.. i can tell in the long run the padding might need to be added. seems like the bottom cushion is hollow.

Hello Claire - I don't think this would be a good choice. I think he'd want a cushion with memory foam and pretty thick. This cushion is not that firm on one side; the other side is a hard board. I suggest you find a medical supply company. Try www.americandiabeteswholesale.com or www.feelgoodstore.com . Cinda

I had very painful buttitis. I could barely go from a sitting to standing position due to the pain in my lower butt and top of legs. Goggled the problem. Advice was a buckwheat pillow. I sat on the pillow at my computer station. Had relief from the pain in a few hours. I also got the Japanese one for sleep. I put the pillow on my back as I am a side sleeper. I swear sleep has been so much more restful. It works.
