Is it soft to sit on? I tried a cushion from the healthy back store that had no "give" when I sat,

Yes & no. Not like a soft pillow, it's soft for the first layer then firm. The pillow itself, imagine beeswax honeycomb, but made of a flexible rubber -- the edges squish down, but the whole thing doesn't compress like foam. I've tried a couple others - the "memory foam" ones are a lot softer, but no substance. For me, this is a great blend of soft+substance. BTW, I'm now using the Wondergel extra-thick version on my desk chair.

NO! Don't waste your money if you need a soft cushion. They don't send you what is pictured either.

It is soft and feels cool as well. I use it everywhere especially in our '99 truck where the seats are shot through a heavy person sitting on it. The cushion is comfy for the entire trip we camp with a fifth wheel so travel anywhere from 2-6 hours. The horrible nether feeling I used to have is not there, I've had surgery for nether problems and the cushion was like heaven to sit on. I don't quite see how the cushion works but it does. I also use it on my chairs at home, call me a satisfied customer

No it is not soft just a good rubberlike cushion that doesn't make your bottom tired when sitting a long time. When you compress it with your hand it feel soft but you don't get that soft sinking feeling when you sit on it.

Hi! I find the wondergel cushion is soft to sit on and does hold up for long trips in the car. Hope this helps.

I couldn't tell the difference between the Wondergel and any other thin cushion I've used.

Id reccomend it. I have a minor back problem and it doesnt bothr me with this seat. Its just not as soft as descibed but it is way better then the stock seats that bikes come with. Overall i like it and its pretty comfortable. It would be a good seat if you have a back problem in my opinion. Hope this helps.

It's not super padded, but not hard plastic either. If you find it too hard, it would be easy to get a cushioned seat cover. I did find myself sore from the seat for the first few days, but if you use it consistently, you won't notice it for long.

The seat cushion is firm but I find it to be acceptable. The metal back can become uncomfortable after prolonged sitting.

This cushion is pretty firm, & has a 3 inch raise. I like it best for a wooden chair. I think if you used it lying down that you would end up arching your back. I would not buy it for lying down d

Mine was not firm. I bought it because my mattress was too firm and needed something soft.

This one is soft, it's been awhile since I had mines, it wasn't firm enough, it was to soft to me, I like mines firm like a travel neck pillow to support my neck, I had to stuff more crap unit to make it firm, to soft to me, you can take some stuffing out to better suit your needs..

For me it's firm. I guess it depends on how you like to sit. I tend to slouch over so I have to put it at an angle just so it won't be uncomfortable.

I don't find it firm when you lay down on it. It lets you sink in and wraps around your body. It is soft and comfortable.

It is very comfortable however it may not be firm enough for your liking. I would agree with the others who say it is "medium to soft." If you can check one out in a store first, you could "con-firm" if it is firm enough for your liking:-)

I would not call it soft. But it is also not "firm" at all. It has some "give" because of the honeycomb. I used it to ride in the van for several hours (getting out a couple of times) and my "sitting bones" were not nearly as stiff. I guess my wheelchair foam cushions are more firm. I was worried about firmness, too, but took a chance and am satisfied. Something softer might also be thicker, which wouldn't do well for the car. And this one is easy to transport, so those are additional considerations. Hope that helps. (I see that someone else mentioned stacking 2 of them. THAT would make it softer, if height isn't an issue. And I *think* maybe the same company has a thicker one? Not sure.) I would not call it soft. But it is also not "firm" at all. It has some "give" because of the honeycomb.

The seat cushion is very thick. I havent had the chair long but i can see or feel nothing to indicate it will not hold up to significant wear. I took photos but dont know how to post them. It does not squash, it supports me well.

Personally, I think it's a nice cushion. I would say it's a little softer than memory foam. The gel is there to keep it more cooler than regular memory foam since that sometimes tends to soak in the heat and sweat. I absolutely love this purchase.

I actually ordered a more squishy one based on another reviewer's advice, but returned it as the original seat was comfortable to me. My daughter and friend also had no complaints. I weigh less than 150lbs, so don't know if that is a factor.

Well, after having the loveseat in my house now for almost a year, I have to say, it's not comfortable. I am planning to donate mine to the local library and buy something else. It is certainly durable, but it makes my legs go to sleep, and there is no lower back support. My thought is, take your $310, add a little more, and buy something else. Thanks!

I found it to be soft....definitely not firm. (of course that's subjective, but I think it's accurate). Didn't raise my head too high.

Not very. I'm having major low-back problems when I wake up. I'm looking for a way to make it feel firmer or else I'll have to find a firmer one. Good luck!
