4 things to check before you buy another seat cushion

Most people who land here have already thrown one or two away. Here is what to look for, so the next one is the last one.

1. Is there a real cut-out, or just a dip?

A dip still presses on the tailbone. A cut-out means nothing touches it at all: your weight lands on the thighs and hips instead. Look at the seat from above. If the back edge is closed, it is a dip.

2. Do the edges rise on both sides?

Flat seats let one hip drop lower than the other. Your back spends the whole day twisting to fix it. Raised sides hold both hips at the same height, so it stops.

3. Does it do anything for your lower back?

A flat pad fixes the seat and ignores the chair. Most chairs leave a space behind your lower back, and you slide down all day to reach it. A backrest that rises from the seat fills that space, so you sit against it instead of reaching for it. Press the foam, let go. If it stays dented in the store, it will stay dented under you in three weeks.

4. How many days do you get to test it on your own chair?

Thirty days is a weekend and a week. Sixty days is long enough to know: the office chair, the car, the couch, the whole meal at the table.

We built Holdform around those four checks.
