Chances are.. if you have a job that requires working on a computer, you might just be sitting for long periods during the day.
Although you can pick up ergonomic chairs, and take frequent breaks, sitting for any length of time can be incredibly challenging for your back — can cut off circulation and give you problems in your legs (numbness, and pain). It can also damage tissue after long periods of time.
Although I have 4 kids (+ one more on the way), working at home full time, and in some cases, up to 18-19 hours each day, requires lots of seat time too. Over the last 7 years I have learned to work efficiently for burst periods to allow myself time with my children (after all, they are my kids and my primary responsibilities are being their mother.)
But even then, sometimes their naps can be upwards of 3-4 hours depending on what we do with them during the late morning hours.
Just a few weeks ago, Cush Comfort was generous enough to allow me to try their Cush Comfort Cushion — to assist in relieving pain and providing support for my back. And since I am due any time with Baby 5, I thought this was a great way to test out this item to see how well it supports a woman who spends a great deal of time behind a computer screen.
Even more, just a few years ago, while I was expecting baby 3, a young 18-year old high school student failed to yield at an intersection and totaled our sedan – after 3 years of Chiropractic treatment (and a totaled car), I still have problems with my left lower back. And while pregnancy has been great to me, even through baby #5, sitting too long without moving around can aggravate that part of my back as the baby gets larger (and I get closer to due date!)
Have you heard of Cush Cushion? It’s a Cushion that has a non-slip bottom, with Grade A Memory Foam with NO fillers. The cushion uses environmentally friendly items and is completely odorless. Believe it or not… unlike other cushions, this cushion will NOT flatten over time.
I can testify to that :)
Their high performance grade A memory foam technology responds to the heat from your body and forms itself into the exact shape of your butt. This process eliminates the point pressure normally associated with sitting and replaces it with fully distributed support that keeps you comfortable even while sitting for hours on end.
Cush Cushion features:
INSTANT RELIEF Coccyx cut-out suspends the tailbone, medically proven to provide relief from lower back pain, numbness, and point pressure associated with sitting for long periods.
Once you try this cushion, you’ll never go back to sitting the old way again.
CUSTOM NON SLIP BOTTOM keeps your cushion in place while you sit so you don’t have to constantly reposition.
NEW DEEPER ERGONOMIC SHAPE to hug your butt as you sit, eliminating point pressure and distributing support evenly so you can sit for longer without discomfort, improving posture and providing superior comfort.
100% HIGH GRADE MEMORY FOAM won’t go flat over time like standard foam cushions.
SAFE, 3rd party tested eco-friendly material that is completely odorless.
How does Cush Cushion really perform?
Now.. this isn’t the first time I have tried cushions – we have tried many different things, more expensive office chairs, massage insets FOR office chairs, and other cushions, even pillows designed for birthing moms. One thing that did concern me with another “cushion” type item was the possibility of it losing it’s shape and eventually flatten over time.
And although I haven’t had it for more than 3 weeks, this cushion has NOT flattened! It’s just as structured as day 1, and can be removed from any chair and placed on another. If my husband has work to do in our home office, I can easily pick it up and transport to the kitchen and place on our kitchen chair.
OR, I can pick up and take into the living room and sit in there are the dining room table without sacrificing my behind to a hard chair that’s not padded well. And with baby due any time, it really DOES make a huge difference when you can sit in comfort AND do your work – not only am I more efficient …. I don’t get up having to wobble or clutch my lower back from sitting on a hard chair.
I LOVE this cushion. I refuse to share it with anyone… and after using this cushion for a few weeks I can’t sit at a chair without this amazing padded cushion!
How to Score the Cush Cushion
If you work in an office environment, or are looking for something to help better support your posture, or back – whether IN the car, or at home, in the office, or just for your own home office, this would be a great investment.
If you are an office manager, it might also be something to consider for your employees too – a GREAT investment in their health, and one that might lead to higher productivity.
You can find Cush Cushion on Amazon — and you can save 10% on your purchase when you use code clubcrush — the price is extremely reasonable for something that provides this much support (so much in fact, we are going to take advantage of the promotion and buy a second for the home too — that way we can each have one instead of having to barter it back and forth!)
If you are a Prime member, the cushion ships FREE, too.
