He is my go to guy for whether to get stuff like this and from tv ads or not. Whether it’s a bad review OR his in depth testing shows it’s not a product for me. Not what I’m looking to get.
I’m in a wheelchair and have had two flap surgeries on my tailbone area, so I can give a different prospective. I’ve been in a chair for 37 years and my tailbone has a lot of damage from infections & the first surgery, so I cannot tolerate hard surfaces. I have already have a wheelchair cushion that is completely made of little air pockets, but it gets uncomfortable after a few hours. I initially got the Egg Sitter and added it on top of the other cushion. It helped me be more comfortable for longer periods of time but it’s far too small. I’m 6’2” and I had to “center” it on top of the other cushion, otherwise my legs would be hanging off or my butt would hang off...depending on where it sat. I found the Purple Cushion (not this gigantic one) and it supports my legs and butt much better than the Egg Sitter. In conclusion though, if they made a larger Egg Sitter, I’d prefer it to the Purple. It’s a little thicker and the contours make it more comfortable for longer periods.
Drumuitar you might want to check Airpulse PK2 Custom Seating System... my uncle used it and it healed his coccyx. It has a pressurized air system to modulate the foam core.
Drumuitar: Do you use the one or two inch thick purple cushion? I've had the one inch that I use in my truck for a couple years now. However, it doesn't work well on hard (wood) chairs, as it's not soft enough for my tailbone area. Been thinking about using the purple pillow I have as a butt-pad on them, but always forget it when I would want it.
Was the air cushion you had called a "roho"? ( I probably butchered the name). When I burst fractured my tailbone they gave me one of those and it was amazing. But my insurance wouldn't buy me one for home and I have yet to find a cushion as good.
Like the infinity stones a regular mortal can't handle the power you need the infinity seat to use them all and not collapse every single thing in existence
I ordered the comfi life from amazon a year ago for my dad and he absolutely loved it. Really firm and comfortable for him. He spoke so highly of it that I ordered one for my mom. It was super soft and uncomfortable, nothing like the 1st one.
Purple cushion is nice that it is able to it on the couch or recliner for the elderly securely. It also fits well in a wheel chair giving support under the legs also, very important. Maybe you could have someone in those categories try them. Cushions are not only for office chairs.
kathy parten i was thinking the samething because my mom has to be in her electric wheelchair because she is a paraplegic. She has a high-end roho cushion but its hurting her so i was thinking maybe the purple cushion might help her bettter.

Purple actually has a 16"x18" cushion called Royal Purple seat cushion. It includes a cushion cover with a handle for easy carrying. The Royal would've made a better fit on all your test chairs and car/truck as well! (I happen to also have a Royal Purple)
You could take a dump on the design purple makes an it would still be better than those pillows.(btw I had the original company they took it from so they merely made it famous an purple instead of blue)
This was an excellent comparison and I like that you tested them on different chairs, and included people of different sizes and tested them over time. In a related area of comfort, the few clinical studies there are on mattresses show that what seems comfortable when tested in a store is not usually what is most comfortable or best when slept on overnight or for weeks. I have experienced this with air mattresses, where squishy feels absolutely wonderful, but sleep on it like that and I wake up with a back problem, even though I am not prone to back strains. If a mattress is too hard or firm, or especially sleeping on a bare floor or bare ground, I tend to trap my arm when I am side sleeping and wake up with my arm totally asleep during the night, sometimes more than once, which is disturbing. The point is, whether for sleep or the computer chair, or especially for wheel-chair bound people, everyone should explore several options and combinations, and I'm here to give an example of what I did to make my Egg Sitter go from pretty good to extraordinary. And when I ordered it, I was like, oh no, I just ordered my first "As seen on TV" product, even though I stumbled into it on the internet while just looking for a chair cushion. It was the honeycomb structure which intrigued me because I have an interest in geodesics, and structures found in nature. My computer chair is a wood chair that you might find in a library. Instead of the single scoop contour on many chairs, it has a rise in the middle of the seat and two gentle scoops. Experimenting with the Egg Sitter on different chairs, including a flat bench, the day I got it, I realized the Egg Sitter takes on the contour of what you put it on, yet it also has its own contoured shape which fits my skinny, light frame really well. Because I like the back of my computer chair so much, I put a thin plastic cutting board over the seat of the chair to flatten out the contour, and the Egg Sitter felt really good then. In other words, the Egg Sitter's contour isn't always right for the contoured chair you are putting it on. They can fight against each other. In a room which is kept cool during the winter, the Egg Sitter can be made warmer by simply adding a small folded microfiber blanket on top. That ventilated aspect may be really nice during hot weather. I am a little obsessed with the material and structure of the Egg Sitter, and how great it is as a pad. The honeycomb form is not a gimmick or merely a design element for looks. It is a structure which in nature is among the ultimate in strength for the amount of material used. Combined with the beautiful translucent ultra-flex polymer, it forms a combination of strength and support which has enormous potential, as long as the material lasts long without wearing out. Like your daughter, I like that it doesn't smell, too. Also, although it is beautiful to look at out of the cover, I would recommend people put the Egg Sitter in the cover when they get it. Dust and oil may just contribute to either bacterial growth or a faster breakdown of the material. Incidentally, this is also why you should fill up an air mattress with a pump, hair dryer (on cold) or air bag, rather than your breath. I got my Bulbhead (beware of some cheap no-brand knock-offs) on Ebay for $22, and it is $30 at Walmart, and usually nearly $30 on Ebay. I hate memory foam because it has a toxic stench when new, and it deforms permanently in a year or two. I've read all about Purple products but because their mattress and seat cushion are expensive, I'm not going to ever experiment with it. I agree that the Egg Sitter is probably wrong for anyone with a big butt, and probably many with average butts. It fits my chair and butt perfectly. Ideally, the company needs to produce different sizes, and even different size honeycomb cells to accommodate people of all weights and sizes. But that kind of customization would drive the price up further. People would be returning them changing sizes. I've read hundreds of reviews of the Egg Sitter, and one thing I'm still not sure about is if maybe there's an inconsistency in the production quality of the polymer, or whether some people who have experienced it deforming in shape have just left it in a hot car and don't want to say. Some of the people who think it is too small don't mention that they weigh 350 lbs., but I understand. I weigh only 130, and am average height, and therefore I am the outlier, not the average American. Just note the width of the Egg Sitter, measure your width when seated, and if these things line up by a few inches either way, the Egg Sitter will fit you.
Yes, I use the Comfi Life cushion at work. When sitting on it all day it smashes flat. When that happens it is even more noticeable that the cushion is too short for my chair. I may try the purple one. Thanks for the thorough review.
THE CONTORTIONIST! I’ve met them twice and seen them in Knoxville and Atlanta for their clairvoyant tour and got to listen to their upcoming EP. It’s a great time to be a contortionist fan.
i know many people already mentioned this, but your reviews are so thorough and fun to watch. i actually decided to buy one of the products you reviewed. keep up the great work!
Enjoyed the review. I think that the one point that you left out that was a big factor in purchasing the Comfort for me was the ease of transport. The comfort was the only one with a handle for carrying. This might not be a big thing for someone that always uses their cushion at the office or home. I spent good money for a comfortable desk chair so I was looking for a cushion that I can use on the cheap second hand chairs at my local coffee shop when I want to spend a few hours working away from my home so the handle was important to me. Hope the small affiliate commission helps the channel.
I bought the purple cushion a year or so ago. Not the big one you have but I use it in the car. Yes, in the hot car. No damage is apparent from the heat. Love it because it is the right size to fill the dip in the seat. I hate the bucket seats and how they put pressure on the back of your legs in the front. I feel like I am sitting in a bucket. The purple cushion works for me. Love your reviews.
This was a very informative video. I would love to see another video comparing vibration reducing cushions. My husband has nerve damage in his back. Riding in cars is very painful because of the vibration, let alone being pushed in a wheelchair. We don't have the income to purchase cushion after cushion, trying to find one that works.
I've been using a comfi Life for about 3 years and I really like it. I'm a retired Mechanic and have back problems (like most of us). The small groove really relieves pressure on my tailbone and enables me so sit comfortably for longer periods.
so glad I accidentally found this channel seriously good and detailed reviews, most reviewer's use a product for one day and decide if it works or not. You go into far more detail and report back after a few months of use, I really like that keep it up!
I just received my Purple Royal seat cushion today and I noticed an immediate difference. It is much smaller than the ultimate but it fits under my butt and thighs perfectly. It also helps with my posture so I don't always rotate between sitting on my butt, then my left hip and then my right hip. I hope it relieves stress on my lower back, pressure on the bottom of my thighs and numbness in my feet. So far, so good!
I’ve been watching you since the very beginning, and for sure the purple one wins. I know it’s a huge one, yet its purpose to fit all the space around your back.
I own the Purple Royal Seat cushion, which is the next size down from Ultimate. It fits on my car seat, my desk chair, and my kitchen chair. The cover even has a carrying handle.
I wonder how these would work for someone who is heavier than your family. I sit at the computer or sewing all day and a good chair/cushion is a must have item.
Ruth Beaty I would go for the purple one. My family genetics have almost everyone plump in the rump area. Some are plus size some average and even very slim with wider hips and plump rumps lol.
They make a purple cushion designed for vehicles, and one truckstop I went to had one on display. The best feature of the purple design is weight distribution. If they make them guaranteed to 500+lbs (which I've seen some of my fellow truckers in that range), that's no joke. They just feel weird to sit in, at first, like if there was no actual support because you go down faster than let's say a memory foam cushion. But you do settle into a equallibrium. Your normal foam pillow would just go flat, and water filled ones get really uncomfortable. So in the end, I feel you get what you pay for here.
I have the regular purple seat cushion. In fact I have four of them. One for home, one for work and two for the car. That ultimate one is rather nuts. The standard cushion works just as well and comes with a case.
It's been a while that I am looking on how to make a good vlog review until I stumble down on your channel. It inspires me a lot as a new RUclipsr and I will follow your lead to make a better youtube channel. Thank you for giving me the inspiration to continue to be a RUclipsr. More power to your channel.
The guy in the video puts the contour in the back when it should be in the front so you may be sitting on the cushion in the correct direction as long as that contour is in the front.
I watched this last night and determined that the Purple is too big and the Amazon one would be the sensible choice. So, I go on Amazon and look it up and it was a Lightning Deal for $25, so I ordered one right away! Thanks for the info!
Good review. I'm shopping around for a good seat cushion for my husband who drives a tool truck daily and is beginning to complain of hip/back pain. He is constantly bouncing around while driving and is very uncomfortable. I'm considering the purple ultimate seat cushion for him. I believe it will be the best fit for him as he is over 6ft tall and I'm pretty sure the seat is large enough to accommodate the large cushion. I also believe it can be a bit difficult to choose a seat cushion based upon reviews (nothing against your great reviews, mind you), but there are so many variables such as height, weight, type of chair, whether one is to use indoors or for a car seat, truck, etc. but you have definitely created some pretty good content here to use as a starting point and I'm grateful for that. Thank you!
Brandon perhaps can do a fast food review. Best fries, best burgers, best tea? Or a snack review would be fun too. There are tons from around the world😄.
I bought the purple Ultimate cushion about 2 years ago and it has helped immensely. I bought it because it had the largest measurements but the cushion is actually bigger than I thought I needed.
I like how you did this one. One more girl opinion would have been good considering lower differences. I know you work with who and what you have so kudos to your awesome kids for helping you out
I use one of the cheaper purple seat cushions and it seems to work just fine for me. The size isn't too big and its thin enough to not add too much height while still enhancing the support of my old chair
I've been using the comfi-life every day, for 6-10 hours a day for over a year. Still holding up, hasn't worn out at all and it's just really comfortable. I haven't tried the others but I can vouch for the comfi-life
I'm a truck driver and sitting for long periods started to hurt my tail bone so I bought the comfi life and wont go any where with out it. I have not tried the other two but I know comfi life for life
The Purple Cushion looks like it might be ideal for someone in a wheelchair. It would definitely fit a larger size seat and probably make having to be in one for hours at a time every day much more comfortable. I just wish it wouldn't cost so much to find out!
Thank you for such a thorough and very useful review! You really helped me, especially since this can be a very expensive decision. I use a wheelchair many hours a day, so this is a significant decision for me. Keep up the great work!
I just started watching your videos and I have to say they are exactly what I want to see. I hate how marketing is a complete lie! I have countless things I have bought that are useless. Thank you for your honest reviews and I will come to your channel for any purchases over $20. Perhaps a series on different clothing stores and how their jeans wear? We are constantly buying jeans for my husband's job.
I have the egg sitter. It's okay. I don't feel it was worth the money they charged. Your daughter really changed the grade around. She does have some valid points. I also think it would be good to have one more female opinion on board. Just because there is some body difference between men and women. It would be interesting to hear if another female had the same opinion on them.
nice work guys! Here in the UK - the Egg Cushion is very well advertised. this made me think twice. PURPLE FOR ME! Worth looking though at different versions.
Your video production quality is through the roof. It gets better and better with each video. I love the comparison video's that your adding in along with the reviews. Keep doing what your doing James
Thanks for the review. As you mentioned. I believe it depends the type of chair your using. I actually use the comfort life one. And it works well for me working from home and the type chair I use..my chair is more like your daughters. Which may say something for the chair and comfort life. Great job on the review!!
Being a Purple mattress user, I'd say the Purple cushion is a natural winner. While many might cringe at the thought, the Purple cushion could be trimmed to fit, then thrown in a pillow case.
sweet. i didnt know purple made a bigger cushion. i got mine back when i bought the bed so its the original size like an inch thick. i really like it, i use it at work and kayaking which lets me stay out for hours without issue. been thinking about getting another one for my back but i'll probably get the ultimate next time its on sale.
I bought the double purple pillow, which came to $107 bucks! I don't like it, I'm not able to get any relief, often shifting from side to side and flipping it. It stinks and the price point is extremely exaggerated. In my opinion, the only pro for the Purple brand is the super funny and entertaining marketing. I've broken my foot, non-weight baring so I'll be in a wheelchair for another 4weeks. The purple is supposed to give you support for at least three hours, it's not the case. I've been rotating it ever 20 mins. I bought it on the 13th of June but didn't get it until June 18th I'll be returning the purple pillow for a Comfy Life. So far its been a little difficult trying to get it returned too. Thanks for this amazing review!
The notch releases pressure on the bony parts of the tail bone which are prone to pressure sores in individuals who cannot get up, drivers, elderly, and individuals with disabilities all tend to these kind of injuries. I work with the elderly and see these every day.
The Egg pillow was to small for your bum at least thats how it appeared. So the cutout on the Comfy Life isn't for your twig and two berries? LMAO I honestly thought thats what those cut outs were for! lol
I thought the same too but the way the curves are, if you sat in it like that, it would apply a bit more pressure to your tailbone. But to be honest, I think you could use it either way. If you need extra tailbone support or get swampass from the lump between the leg curves, notch on the front doesn't seem like such a bad idea.
(Another board meeting, another solution at the Purple Mattress headquarters) Executive 1: What do we do with the cushions that get returned? We have hundreds of them!! Anyone??? Executive 2: I know!!! Sell them as pillows!! (Well, I hope I solved your smelly pillow dilemma)
I have several different cushions similar to ComfiLife from Amazon ($20 ones cause i'm poor) and I love them. One thing they forgot to mention is that on the bottom of the ComfiLife was anti-slip pad, so if you are on a leather/faux-leather chair, you won't have to worry about slipping off. I am VERY hesitant about the Purple products because of the white powder controversy. (I know they won, but I still don't want to be inhaling plastic all the time)
I ordered the Comfilife and the Purple Simply and I like them both, but if I had to pick one it would be the Simply. I basically let my tailbone pain drag on for a long time, but alternating between the two helps a lot. The comfilife is really firm and a bit bulkier but it works a little bit better on my desk chair. Since it’s memory foam it gets warm which is not bad for winter but could be really uncomfortable in summer. The Simply, despite the $59 cost, has a lot more advantages. It’s much bigger/thicker than I thought, but it’s easier to fold or tote around. Since it’s relatively flat I can use it in bed when I’m sleeping too. The only major con is that the fabric of the cover is really thin so who knows how long it will hold up
Thank you. I spend a lot of time in my adjustable bed as I'm disabled. So much time that I've had "seat" problems. I also had to have surgery for it. Just before the surgery (first of June) I ordered the Comfort Life from Amazon (one you reviewed) and it really helped me. I couldn't have worked on my computer without it because sitting was impossible without the pillow. I was wondering if the purple would be better and it being that large, would fit my bed. I don't need it in the car or an office chair, but my adjustable bed with my rolling desk. It may help prevent these pressure areas that have bothered me. ***Suggestions*** I've enjoyed your reviews and would love to see you review common (not the high priced, luxuries that only rich people can afford) recliner chairs, office chairs and rolling desks for beds or recliners for those of us who has disabilities. Recliners can be electric, have a handle or just use your body weight to collapse. I have two with the handles and 1 using your body weight. I cannot use the latter as I don't have enough strength in my legs to push down. It's getting more difficult to use the handles on the others as I'm losing hand and arm strength (due to neuropathy). Then there are different types of office chairs and different types of rolling desks. My husband had to literally make the rolling desk over my bed as we couldn't find one like I needed and big enough to roll over a king sized bed.
I really like this review!! I am in a electric wheelchair and I desperately need a cushion. I want a nice cushion, but I cannot afford to buy some of these to find out it sucks. I really dig that purple cushion. I like my legs to be supported. some of the smaller ones leave your legs without anything under them and it cuts off circulation. I have a problem with sliding as well so the egg sitter worries me. Thank you for having your kids test these as well it gives me a better understanding of where these may differ. I am not a large woman, considerably larger than ur kids tho bout 160lbs. Again thank you for your help, I do watch your videos often.
Golden State Warriors fan since 2015 Bigger=charge more money=more profit per sale. Also a lot of people who don't find normal chair paddings comfortable are obese
I have the royal purple cushion and I'd rather have the giant ultimate purple cushion. The royal moves around on my office chair and does not support my thighs. I'd love to have those two problems solved. I guess I'll have to fork over more money cuz my butt and thighs needs more cushion surface area. A seat cushion just can't be big enough, I guess, for me.
This just happens to be the biggest one they make, so don't make a judgement solely on just it. But they actually sell a bunch of different sized cushions for a variety of uses. They are also less expensive than this one.
Golden State Warriors fan since 2015, the eggsitter and the purple are both made by purple. Instead of making two different cushions they created a different company. It's a marketing thing. Plus the purple is made it America so you pay a little more
I am a truck driver with a bad back and kidney problems. I can vouch for the Deep Purple cushion. It is large and lumpy but after a couple of days to get used to it, it has kept me from calling off of work and keeps me rolling with little to no pain and discomfort from my back and side.
I'm just blown away buy the quality of these reviews. Good and informative
I don't plan on buying any of this stuff; I just enjoy watching the reviews. They're rather entertaining, for some reason.

I would choose the ComfiLife cushion because I could use it at home and in my car. It's the most versatile and affordable. Thanks for the review.
the purple ultimate is for heavy people (220[plus) more for truckers , next size lower is even better for regular people
puts the purple cushion on desk chair "it barely fits" *in all actuality it fits perfectly
He has all other cushions covered and in chair size except purple
Purple actually has a 16"x18" cushion called Royal Purple seat cushion. It includes a cushion cover with a handle for easy carrying. The Royal would've made a better fit on all your test chairs and car/truck as well! (I happen to also have a Royal Purple)
Why didn't you put the purple in the cover? It feels different when it's done properly. It also makes it smaller.

I agree that the Egg Sitter is probably wrong for anyone with a big butt, and probably many with average butts. It fits my chair and butt perfectly. Ideally, the company needs to produce different sizes, and even different size honeycomb cells to accommodate people of all weights and sizes. But that kind of customization would drive the price up further. People would be returning them changing sizes.
I've read hundreds of reviews of the Egg Sitter, and one thing I'm still not sure about is if maybe there's an inconsistency in the production quality of the polymer, or whether some people who have experienced it deforming in shape have just left it in a hot car and don't want to say. Some of the people who think it is too small don't mention that they weigh 350 lbs., but I understand. I weigh only 130, and am average height, and therefore I am the outlier, not the average American. Just note the width of the Egg Sitter, measure your width when seated, and if these things line up by a few inches either way, the Egg Sitter will fit you.
Laughing at his complaints that the Purple cushion is too big. That's because he ordered the largest one they make! Get a smaller one. Duh!
Lmaoooooooooo
@@dashhill443 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Tape measures are your friend.
Yes, I use the Comfi Life cushion at work. When sitting on it all day it smashes flat. When that happens it is even more noticeable that the cushion is too short for my chair. I may try the purple one. Thanks for the thorough review.
THE CONTORTIONIST! I’ve met them twice and seen them in Knoxville and Atlanta for their clairvoyant tour and got to listen to their upcoming EP. It’s a great time to be a contortionist fan.
The purple ultimate is more for truck drivers which use larger seats.
i know many people already mentioned this, but your reviews are so thorough and fun to watch. i actually decided to buy one of the products you reviewed. keep up the great work!
Enjoyed the review. I think that the one point that you left out that was a big factor in purchasing the Comfort for me was the ease of transport. The comfort was the only one with a handle for carrying. This might not be a big thing for someone that always uses their cushion at the office or home. I spent good money for a comfortable desk chair so I was looking for a cushion that I can use on the cheap second hand chairs at my local coffee shop when I want to spend a few hours working away from my home so the handle was important to me. Hope the small affiliate commission helps the channel.
I bought the purple cushion a year or so ago. Not the big one you have but I use it in the car. Yes, in the hot car. No damage is apparent from the heat. Love it because it is the right size to fill the dip in the seat. I hate the bucket seats and how they put pressure on the back of your legs in the front. I feel like I am sitting in a bucket. The purple cushion works for me. Love your reviews.
This was a very informative video. I would love to see another video comparing vibration reducing cushions. My husband has nerve damage in his back. Riding in cars is very painful because of the vibration, let alone being pushed in a wheelchair. We don't have the income to purchase cushion after cushion, trying to find one that works.
I've been using a comfi Life for about 3 years and I really like it. I'm a retired Mechanic and have back problems (like most of us). The small groove really relieves pressure on my tailbone and enables me so sit comfortably for longer periods.
so glad I accidentally found this channel seriously good and detailed reviews, most reviewer's use a product for one day and decide if it works or not. You go into far more detail and report back after a few months of use, I really like that keep it up!
I just received my Purple Royal seat cushion today and I noticed an immediate difference. It is much smaller than the ultimate but it fits under my butt and thighs perfectly. It also helps with my posture so I don't always rotate between sitting on my butt, then my left hip and then my right hip. I hope it relieves stress on my lower back, pressure on the bottom of my thighs and numbness in my feet. So far, so good!
I’ve been watching you since the very beginning, and for sure the purple one wins. I know it’s a huge one, yet its purpose to fit all the space around your back.
I own the Purple Royal Seat cushion, which is the next size down from Ultimate. It fits on my car seat, my desk chair, and my kitchen chair. The cover even has a carrying handle.
I wonder how these would work for someone who is heavier than your family. I sit at the computer or sewing all day and a good chair/cushion is a must have item.
Ruth Beaty I would go for the purple one. My family genetics have almost everyone plump in the rump area. Some are plus size some average and even very slim with wider hips and plump rumps lol.
Thank you--this is something I wondered about since I don't have a skinny butt, or much else, for that matter. Just heavy enough to watch what I buy.
They make a purple cushion designed for vehicles, and one truckstop I went to had one on display. The best feature of the purple design is weight distribution. If they make them guaranteed to 500+lbs (which I've seen some of my fellow truckers in that range), that's no joke. They just feel weird to sit in, at first, like if there was no actual support because you go down faster than let's say a memory foam cushion. But you do settle into a equallibrium. Your normal foam pillow would just go flat, and water filled ones get really uncomfortable. So in the end, I feel you get what you pay for here.
I'm a big dude and I'm also fat which puts me up around 4 bills, and I have the purple Ultimate in my truck, it's great.
Thanks guys. I was looking to get a new seat cushion... With this review I'll go with the Comfi brand. You can't beat it for the price. Thanks again.
I have the regular purple seat cushion. In fact I have four of them. One for home, one for work and two for the car.
That ultimate one is rather nuts. The standard cushion works just as well and comes with a case.
It's been a while that I am looking on how to make a good vlog review until I stumble down on your channel. It inspires me a lot as a new RUclipsr and I will follow your lead to make a better youtube channel. Thank you for giving me the inspiration to continue to be a RUclipsr. More power to your channel.
Lol the intense metal music for unboxing... :P
Aaron I thought the same thing! Lol.
I mean he is rocking tesseract and the contortionist t-shirts
Gotta set the proper tone!
I appreciate that you always show us the packaging. For some reason I'm obsessed with reading packaging.
It looks like the purple cushion is for sofas and/or recliners etc.
I really like how you take a lot of things into conideration, it really gives you credibility. Thank you!
I think I’ve been placing my seat cushions backwards all these years.😳
The guy in the video puts the contour in the back when it should be in the front so you may be sitting on the cushion in the correct direction as long as that contour is in the front.
I watched this last night and determined that the Purple is too big and the Amazon one would be the sensible choice. So, I go on Amazon and look it up and it was a Lightning Deal for $25, so I ordered one right away! Thanks for the info!
The contortionist, TesseracT, hell yeah!
LIJ4Productions I was looking for this comment
Good review. I'm shopping around for a good seat cushion for my husband who drives a tool truck daily and is beginning to complain of hip/back pain. He is constantly bouncing around while driving and is very uncomfortable. I'm considering the purple ultimate seat cushion for him. I believe it will be the best fit for him as he is over 6ft tall and I'm pretty sure the seat is large enough to accommodate the large cushion. I also believe it can be a bit difficult to choose a seat cushion based upon reviews (nothing against your great reviews, mind you), but there are so many variables such as height, weight, type of chair, whether one is to use indoors or for a car seat, truck, etc. but you have definitely created some pretty good content here to use as a starting point and I'm grateful for that. Thank you!
"hows that feel?"
"Thats a cushion!"
Love how you got your kids to try them out too! Brandon did great, maybe he should follow in your footsteps. 😀
He just might!
Freakin' Reviews if he does let me know I would love to be one of his first subs
I wouldn't be opposed to it!
2¢ Chicks POTOTO
Brandon perhaps can do a fast food review. Best fries, best burgers, best tea? Or a snack review would be fun too. There are tons from around the world😄.
I bought the purple Ultimate cushion about 2 years ago and it has helped immensely. I bought it because it had the largest measurements but the cushion is actually bigger than I thought I needed.
I like how you did this one. One more girl opinion would have been good considering lower differences. I know you work with who and what you have so kudos to your awesome kids for helping you out
I bought the comfilife cushion a couple weeks ago. It definitely helps with lower back pain, and its the perfect size.
I use one of the cheaper purple seat cushions and it seems to work just fine for me. The size isn't too big and its thin enough to not add too much height while still enhancing the support of my old chair
Does it still work for you?
I've been using the comfi-life every day, for 6-10 hours a day for over a year. Still holding up, hasn't worn out at all and it's just really comfortable. I haven't tried the others but I can vouch for the comfi-life
10:05 “last but not least would be the egg sitter” but it is his least favorite 🤔
I have the purple ultimate in my semi truck. The seat is wider than the purple cushion and works amazingly! I can’t drive without it now
Your video showed me that I was sitting on the pillow completely wrong 🤣🤣🤣
I'm a truck driver and sitting for long periods started to hurt my tail bone so I bought the comfi life and wont go any where with out it. I have not tried the other two but I know comfi life for life
I’m a 15 year old subscriber and I’m not buying any products u review but somehow I still find ur videos high quality and entertaining 🤷♂️
The Purple Cushion looks like it might be ideal for someone in a wheelchair. It would definitely fit a larger size seat and probably make having to be in one for hours at a time every day much more comfortable. I just wish it wouldn't cost so much to find out!
Thank you for such a thorough and very useful review! You really helped me, especially since this can be a very expensive decision. I use a wheelchair many hours a day, so this is a significant decision for me. Keep up the great work!
I just started watching your videos and I have to say they are exactly what I want to see. I hate how marketing is a complete lie! I have countless things I have bought that are useless. Thank you for your honest reviews and I will come to your channel for any purchases over $20. Perhaps a series on different clothing stores and how their jeans wear? We are constantly buying jeans for my husband's job.
I have the egg sitter. It's okay. I don't feel it was worth the money they charged.
Your daughter really changed the grade around. She does have some valid points. I also think it would be good to have one more female opinion on board. Just because there is some body difference between men and women. It would be interesting to hear if another female had the same opinion on them.
nice work guys!
Here in the UK - the Egg Cushion is very well advertised. this made me think twice. PURPLE FOR ME!
Worth looking though at different versions.
comfi life lasted about 6 months. loved it. but spending $80 a year on a seat cushion is stupid
Guardians Creed damn only 6 months? And i was thinking of getting it. Might have to change
Guardians Creed just get a good chair and you won’t have to
its on sale for $22 right now
Guardians Creed my comfi life has lasted well beyond 6 months and its doing just fine
Guardians Creed Where is it on sale for $22?
Your video production quality is through the roof. It gets better and better with each video. I love the comparison video's that your adding in along with the reviews. Keep doing what your doing James
I love how this guy checks the smell!
I'm laughing
Thanks for the review. As you mentioned. I believe it depends the type of chair your using. I actually use the comfort life one. And it works well for me working from home and the type chair I use..my chair is more like your daughters. Which may say something for the chair and comfort life. Great job on the review!!
Being a Purple mattress user, I'd say the Purple cushion is a natural winner.
While many might cringe at the thought, the Purple cushion could be trimmed to fit, then thrown in a pillow case.
I want to replace an office chair cushion. But I don't want to spend more than a new chair would cost.
What does bailey prefer?
sweet. i didnt know purple made a bigger cushion. i got mine back when i bought the bed so its the original size like an inch thick. i really like it, i use it at work and kayaking which lets me stay out for hours without issue. been thinking about getting another one for my back but i'll probably get the ultimate next time its on sale.
i had the purple cushion and my back started going out. i dont think that floppy waffle is good for stability.
floppy waffle!
I bought the double purple pillow, which came to $107 bucks! I don't like it, I'm not able to get any relief, often shifting from side to side and flipping it. It stinks and the price point is extremely exaggerated. In my opinion, the only pro for the Purple brand is the super funny and entertaining marketing. I've broken my foot, non-weight baring so I'll be in a wheelchair for another 4weeks. The purple is supposed to give you support for at least three hours, it's not the case. I've been rotating it ever 20 mins. I bought it on the 13th of June but didn't get it until June 18th I'll be returning the purple pillow for a Comfy Life. So far its been a little difficult trying to get it returned too. Thanks for this amazing review!
That The Contortionist shirt guaranteed a like haha
I have the comfi life. Was a game changer when I hurt my coccyx! Very happy with it! Love your show 😊 all the way from Cape Town, South Africa
I love this review.
You became way cooler to me simply because you wore a Contortionist shirt and also a Tesseract shirt as well.
Agreed
I thought the Amazon one's notch was for the, erm, crotch lol. I would've sat in it wrong lol.
Andrew Hunt I think you are right.....
Right
you're actually correct he is not using it correctly the image shows it like u said
He is using it correctly. I have a different model of Comfi Life that is specific for Sciatic relief...hence the opening.
The notch releases pressure on the bony parts of the tail bone which are prone to pressure sores in individuals who cannot get up, drivers, elderly, and individuals with disabilities all tend to these kind of injuries. I work with the elderly and see these every day.
Unrelated to the cushions, but I couldn’t help but to notice the shirt you were wearing in the unboxing part. The Contortionist is such a sick band.
The Egg pillow was to small for your bum at least thats how it appeared. So the cutout on the Comfy Life isn't for your twig and two berries? LMAO I honestly thought thats what those cut outs were for! lol
LOL I suppose if you put the cutout in the front! For spine support, the cutout goes in back!
I thought the same too but the way the curves are, if you sat in it like that, it would apply a bit more pressure to your tailbone.
But to be honest, I think you could use it either way. If you need extra tailbone support or get swampass from the lump between the leg curves, notch on the front doesn't seem like such a bad idea.
Purple cushion user for 4 yrs. Love it and it’s worth the price
I have a purple pillow,royal, $90,no where near as big, darker purple, even use in tub, love it , disabled senior.
Just ordered the comfilife I'm an EMT and u helped finalize me grabbing this.
Ps wicked choices in shirts I love the contortionist and tessaract
(Another board meeting, another solution at the Purple Mattress headquarters)
Executive 1: What do we do with the cushions that get returned? We have hundreds of them!! Anyone???
Executive 2: I know!!! Sell them as pillows!!
(Well, I hope I solved your smelly pillow dilemma)
Yes just got the purple for Xmas! It has an extremely strong smell! First words out of my mouth~my mom was like🙄😆I haven’t even tried it yet!
Why won't you put the case on the other two but put the case on one? Test them all the same way
> unboxing fluffy pillows
> ultimate metal music in the background
The purple pillow is $130! That’s insane. I’ll take the $25 Comfilife one all day. Edit: I actually have the Comfilife
Every band shirt in this video is awesome. Dope to see a prog head doing reviews haha keep it up
First a Contortionist shirt, now a Tesseract one?!? Some exquisite choice in music and t-shirts. Also great video as always
It's a salute to the bands and my fellow fans of those bands!
I was thinking the same thing!
I have several different cushions similar to ComfiLife from Amazon ($20 ones cause i'm poor) and I love them. One thing they forgot to mention is that on the bottom of the ComfiLife was anti-slip pad, so if you are on a leather/faux-leather chair, you won't have to worry about slipping off.
I am VERY hesitant about the Purple products because of the white powder controversy. (I know they won, but I still don't want to be inhaling plastic all the time)
lol nice pot leaf sticker at 5:55
Is it on a guitar hero guitar!? Haha
I ordered the Comfilife and the Purple Simply and I like them both, but if I had to pick one it would be the Simply. I basically let my tailbone pain drag on for a long time, but alternating between the two helps a lot. The comfilife is really firm and a bit bulkier but it works a little bit better on my desk chair. Since it’s memory foam it gets warm which is not bad for winter but could be really uncomfortable in summer. The Simply, despite the $59 cost, has a lot more advantages. It’s much bigger/thicker than I thought, but it’s easier to fold or tote around. Since it’s relatively flat I can use it in bed when I’m sleeping too. The only major con is that the fabric of the cover is really thin so who knows how long it will hold up
130 DOLLARS WTF
I tried the purple version of the egg sitter. It felt great and I loved it. However, I could not justify the $80 price tag and ended up returning it
thank you so much for this review... I think it was well maid. Im an uber driver and sit in my car for hours
I bought the egg sitter a few years back to use in my kayak and it works great.
The purple cushion seems to be a good cushion to sit on while I stroke my meat. Thank you so much!
Jonathan Gonzalez Damn
Thank you. I spend a lot of time in my adjustable bed as I'm disabled. So much time that I've had "seat" problems. I also had to have surgery for it. Just before the surgery (first of June) I ordered the Comfort Life from Amazon (one you reviewed) and it really helped me. I couldn't have worked on my computer without it because sitting was impossible without the pillow. I was wondering if the purple would be better and it being that large, would fit my bed. I don't need it in the car or an office chair, but my adjustable bed with my rolling desk. It may help prevent these pressure areas that have bothered me. ***Suggestions*** I've enjoyed your reviews and would love to see you review common (not the high priced, luxuries that only rich people can afford) recliner chairs, office chairs and rolling desks for beds or recliners for those of us who has disabilities. Recliners can be electric, have a handle or just use your body weight to collapse. I have two with the handles and 1 using your body weight. I cannot use the latter as I don't have enough strength in my legs to push down. It's getting more difficult to use the handles on the others as I'm losing hand and arm strength (due to neuropathy). Then there are different types of office chairs and different types of rolling desks. My husband had to literally make the rolling desk over my bed as we couldn't find one like I needed and big enough to roll over a king sized bed.
Theres only one way to settle this: The bailey test!!
I really like this review!! I am in a electric wheelchair and I desperately need a cushion. I want a nice cushion, but I cannot afford to buy some of these to find out it sucks. I really dig that purple cushion. I like my legs to be supported. some of the smaller ones leave your legs without anything under them and it cuts off circulation. I have a problem with sliding as well so the egg sitter worries me. Thank you for having your kids test these as well it gives me a better understanding of where these may differ. I am not a large woman, considerably larger than ur kids tho bout 160lbs. Again thank you for your help, I do watch your videos often.
Lol why does purple make their products so big
Golden State Warriors fan since 2015 Bigger=charge more money=more profit per sale. Also a lot of people who don't find normal chair paddings comfortable are obese
I have the royal purple cushion and I'd rather have the giant ultimate purple cushion. The royal moves around on my office chair and does not support my thighs. I'd love to have those two problems solved. I guess I'll have to fork over more money cuz my butt and thighs needs more cushion surface area. A seat cushion just can't be big enough, I guess, for me.
This just happens to be the biggest one they make, so don't make a judgement solely on just it. But they actually sell a bunch of different sized cushions for a variety of uses. They are also less expensive than this one.
Golden State Warriors fan since 2015, the eggsitter and the purple are both made by purple. Instead of making two different cushions they created a different company. It's a marketing thing. Plus the purple is made it America so you pay a little more
But why is your head so big huh
It would be fairly expensive, but someone could possibly use the purple cushion in a couch for some of the cushions.
The Purple cushion is ridiculous. Who designed that trash?
Triscuit H
The creater of purples
I am a truck driver with a bad back and kidney problems. I can vouch for the Deep Purple cushion. It is large and lumpy but after a couple of days to get used to it, it has kept me from calling off of work and keeps me rolling with little to no pain and discomfort from my back and side.
