Chair Cushion

My Dad's work requires sitting in a chair for pretty much the entire day. I would like to get him a prostate cushion, but I can't figure out which one. He weighs about 259 lbs and is over 6 feet. I'm reading reviews online, but it seems like there are hundreds of these cushions. Would anyone have suggestions about what to look for in a good, long-lasting cushion? Maybe there's a good website for me to read to help me narrow down the choices? He has been thoroughly examined and doesn't have prostate cancer that we know of, but the doctor recommends that he use a seat cushion. He works in a typical office chair for managers (works at home). The chair is padded, tilts back, swivels, etc.

Should I be looking into a different chair for him instead of a cushion? Or do office chairs typically put pressure on the prostate for older men?

That makes a lot of sense, getting it from a med supply store. I'm reading about lots of cushions that immediately lose their shape, slide around, etc. If you remember the brand, please post.

Sandy,

My prostate has healed up, but I still have pudendal nerve damage or sciatic nerve damage. I think from biking over the years. Had it before PCa. If I don't watch out, I get pain from upper thigh, through groin and into lower abdomen. Found that the right cushion and alleve get me through most days of computer work.

Following is a pretty cheap way to start. I am at 190 lb and use the "E" cushion. For daily desk sitting, I get about 4-5 months before it breaks down enough to cause discomfort again. Then I reorder. But it's a small price to pay to not have it hurt like a son-of-a-gun.

Maybe it will work for your dad.

My cushion was purchased 9 years ago in another state from a company that is defunct, so no receipts, websites, or packaging to look at. Just go to a serious store that stands behind what they sell. If it falls apart, take it back and either get it changed out or move up a couple of notches in the quality scale.

I would never buy things of this sort on the internet - want to be able to look the salesperson in the face if things go badly, and know who to recommend when they go well.

My compounding pharmacy is also a big "durable equipment" supplier. I can email you their information if you email me off forum (I can't post things that might compromise my location / identity - job constraints).
