do the gel pads flatten after much use?

I have not experienced any issues with my arch pads. They are comfortable all day long.

Danielle and Monica are spot on. Try not to touch the gel pads as the oils on the hand do not help with the stickiness. I have dampened my finger and moistened the gel to clean them and rehydrate them. Have had no problem after doing that.

These do flatten after being rolled; however, I would suggest placing a heavy flat object over them to speed the process.I rolled mine up and they flattened after about 30-45 min

The pads don't need any gel and wouldn't work as well with it. You'll want more pads which can be purchased from Amazon.

Yes, they do become flat after a few months, but they do not get lumpy or uneven. They are still solid.

Dear Karla, The pads do go back to their original shape after seating 180#, but ours haven't held more weight yet. They are very nice though, and I guess would return to their original shape after even more weight. They are a little bit smaller in size than the average chair cushion which may not be comfortable for larger folks??? I got them because they fit my card table chairs perfectly. I hope this helps.

It looks like the product has changed since I bought it! The gel pad is in a new area, and I doubt it would help with anything in that area. I say look for another brand, I can't believe they changed it.

I'd spread them out for the first couple weeks. They tend to make you a bit gassy at first. I've noticed it eased up after a week or so.

It doesn't flatten but it's not very fluffy to begin with.. I have washed mine in the washing machine twice and it cleans well. Seems pretty durable.

No, they are not totally flat. There is a small circular indentation, not real deep but definitely an indentation.

The pads last a really long time. I generally toss mine after they start looking grungy. You can buy refills at a few places. You won't need many.

How is the padding holding up? I often see sofas with the pillow type cushions that have gone flat like deflated balloons over time.

No but it gets better the longer you have it. I found it to be less quilly and softer the longer you have it, and I don't see it going flat at all.

I have used these for years with no problem. The pads should not be falling out if you have the pad facing up just like the picture. Any more questions please feel free to ask :)

Not exactly sure what your asking totally, but I'll try to give you the best answer I can. The gel is an integral part of the pads, you can't take the gel off. I use these in my chiropractic clinic and I easily get at least 30 uses with each pair. All you need to do is wet each pad with a few drops of water and rub them together before you use them and they will stick for a really long time. I hope that helps!

not too bad - they might be a little "squeaky" at first but after they have been laundered a few times they soften up and are a lot more flexible. I usually put my son's sheet over the top of the pad but he's been directly on top of the pad before and they're not too bad.

My more minor ones are pretty much gone, my deeper ones seem a little smaller. I've only been using the cream for about a month now, so I figure over time the deeper ones will diminish completely :)
