Find Best Price at Amazon"This is the most incredible product I have tried, and since fracturing my tailbone six months ago, along with serious damage to both achilles tendons, I feel like I am the connoisseur of every possible "doughnut", or butt pad, or any type of device other than ice and a heating pad(s) - yes, I've tried several! However, that being said, this is the most amazing product, and I have tried six different similar pads, three from the physical therapy institute that I have been working with (all worthless), and three from other big box stores that my husband had to go to pick out, as I could not even tolerate to sit in the passenger seat. I just purchased 4 of this same company's memory foam back supports, because after buying one the same time I received the comfort seat, my husband and I are sneaking it out of each other's home office chairs because it feels so awesome."
"It's got a removable and washable velvet fabric over the generous memory foam material that feels exactly like our $5,000 Tempurpedic mattress. I've been using this for two days now - and yesterday I was on it for ten hours during a particularly grueling radio edit session and some online training, and I definitely noticed improvement over the cheap stuffing typically used in office chairs."
"This product was $20.00 less than the first one I had used and yet it DID NOT squash down completely the first time I sat on it."
"lol. Once you get it right, the gap part in the back, and bring the Everlasting Comfort near the front edge seat so that it's right behind your bent knees, IT IS AWESOME!! I felt like my butt and my thighs are hovering above the seat because there is no more hard surface under your body. I just flew across the country, and the airline seats are really hard, and I kept regretting that I didn't bring the cushion!"

"Maybe it works better if the intended customer is a bigger person."
"Nice portable size allows one to have proper support wherever you may sit."
"As of today, Feb. 11, 2015, I have been sitting on the cushion for a couple of weeks and I have decided to return the cushion, it is too small and hard and it is also losing its shape, I am very disappointed with the cushion."
"FOR ME, the cushion is too thick, to hard and uncomfortable."
"Not as soft as I expected, feels like a rock, not comfortable at all, stir away from this and just go ti a store where you can test the product before buying!"
"This seat is terribly uncomfortable."
The patented orthopedic donut seat cushion by Aylio assists in the relief and treatment of lower back pain, hemorrhoids, and pressure ulcers. The traditional doughnut cushion suffers from poor design because it creates pressure points at the legs and tailbone, resulting in diminished sitting tolerance. The patented ergonomic design by Aylio has eliminated this problem by adding two carefully placed contours at the front for leg support and one at the rear for coccyx relief, resulting in optimal seated comfort. Assists in the treatment of lower back pain, hemorrhoids, pressure sores and ulcers.

"I purchased this roller stick on the advice of my doctor."
"I've been experiencing lots of pain from shin splints and IT band knots caused by a leg injury in June (yes, six months ago!)."
"I have purchased two of these Roller Sticks, one for myself and then when our son saw me using mine and how well it works on sore muscles, he wanted one - so I got him one for his birthday and he loves it."
"The "stick" on which the rollers lie is constructed of wood, so the stick is stiff enabling good deep self massage."
"I have been using a foam roller, and since I had my baby my body is so weak."
"I like this roller stick, but I wish there had been some easy to follow "directions" ie, how to hold, where to get best results on back, legs, etc."
"It feels really good to use it most of the time ;though I am amazed how much it sometimes hurts to roll it over pulled muscles- but I guess that's normal."

"I bought the able tray multi-use for my wife to go with her power lift recliner.She loves it.The assist handle is great.She has something to hold on to until she gets her balance.It took me a few tries to adjust it to the recliner.The problem was when the recliner was going back or lifting her up it would hit the able tray handle and move the chair off the base,but once I adjusted it,it works fine,no problems."
"Easy to assemble, clear instructions."
"My 95 yr old father loves this!"
"Evidently a lot of the recliners do have a metal thing at the bottom close enough so that the bottom of the stand reaches it to fit under those recliners."
"The quality of the material is top notch, you can tell it was a medical company that designed this, the base is so solid that it will stand on its own without tipping over (you will still need to place the feet under a piece of furniture)."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The HurryCane is my favorite, all-purpose cane because it is comfortable to grip, lightweight, pivots to make walking more natural, and will stand on its own, with careful placement on select flooring. With careful placement, it will stand on level surfaces, such as wood floors and flat tile, but sometimes it still falls over in this setting. However, the ability to have the HurryCane stand alone allows you to use both hands for something else (like finding that item at the bottom of your purse). My husband calls it my "Ninja cane," because of the way it folds and unfolds, so it has added a little humor to life as well. Basic cane (shown on left in picture): this was issued by the hospital a few years ago as I was getting out of a wheelchair after pelvic fractures. Overall, unless you need an added feature like the light, storage, or sit-to-stand assistance, I recommend that you spend your money on the HurryCane. Unlike the HurryCane, the quad cane will stand alone on gravel and in the grass, although it occasionally falls over if I place it on an incline."
"I really like it so much more than my regular quad cane BUT there are some thing you need to be aware of before you buy the advantages of the cane outweighed the disadvantages for me but judge for yourself. Here you go: 1: The base of the cane is a bit smaller than the regular quad cane and for me it has a harder time sanding on its own, it falls frequently. No more struggling to get the cane in the car or walking without the cane to the backseat to get the cane you just get in fold it up and put it in you floorboard or even in the handy carry case it came with."
"I had to use that because my balance was poor and I needed the support from this type of cane. If a cane were set on a large acorn or a pine cone it would roll & you may lose your balance. I also recommended they have a clamping device on the cane to hold it in the folded position. The Freedom Edition HurryCane has feet attached more securely and they implemented my clamping device idea. It is lighter, and it folds easier When I send their customer support a message they usually get back to me the same day! Another example of how committed to customer satisfaction they are is they asked me if I knew of anyone who would benefit from having a HurryCane. I told them I have a friend named Floyd who I felt would greatly benefit from a HurryCane. I know this has been a long review but I wanted to make sure I tell you about the fantastic features this All-Terrain Cane has. The other mechanical problem I had with it was the pin that is used to set the height was sheered off on day. When I checked my email Monday morning two associates with HurryCane had apologized profusely for what happened & they told me that they had already addressed the issue with that pin. I'm only telling you that if you want one that is guaranteed to work exactly like it is described you should buy it directly from the HurryCane company."

"Although this unit, a Drive Medical Steel Rollator is a bit heavier than its aluminum counterparts--the benefits of increased strength and more importantly--stability--in my opinion, more than make up for the weight factor."
"While not exceptionally easy to transport, it does fold up easily without the basket, and I can lift it into the back of our car with minimal effort."
"half of the spokes on one of the tires were broken."
"I was SO ecstatic at how marvelous it was in helping me move around that I immediately ordered a second one just like it to keep in the car (since it IS a bit tiresome to take up and down stairs whenever we go anywhere in the car--at LEAST a couple times a day, often more). But in my situation, living one flight above street level with the garage at street level and 2 half flights of stairs and doors to negotiate through to get from living quarters to car and again from car to living space, this model's weight and its wire basket beneath its seat became burdensome. AND the rectangular wire basket under the seat, roughly the size of a shoe box, is almost always a minor problem to take out &/or put back in place. We keep the aluminum model in a car trunk and the non-aluminum model upstairs in the living area."
"just what was needed for balance & for sitting; the seat folds up for walking & down for sitting, brakes are easy to use for slowing down on a bit of a slope & they lock & hold well if you want to sit; small basket holds purse easily; patient weight is 150 lbs."
"This is the most wonderful assist when one has sciatica pain on both right & left sides & back pain-it's too hard to walk w just a cane so being able to rest both sides while walking is divine!!"
"Very good quality and easy to assemble."
