Customer Rating: Summary: Comfy, but not that good Comment: It is a pad, but I expected it would have more padding/support. Currently, it only marginally improves putting a cotton pillow on the chair. So either buy something else or save yourself the money and place a pillow on the Chair! Customer Rating: Summary: Really wish I didn't order it. Comment: I have been an Obus backrest user for years. They are not that comfortable, but using them continuously does wonders for your back problem.
However, I just can't see any benefit from the seat. It does make some seats softer, but $ 50 is a lot for what I consider a cosmetic item. Put your money into another backrest. Customer Rating: Summary: Not made for heavy people! Comment: Product was Great for about a week. Product is obviously not made for anyone over above 250 lbs. Still feels better than my junk chair, but in the future I will purchase a better chair. Customer Rating: Summary: Great product for sciatica - makes driving bearable again. Comment: I was skeptical about spending this much for a cushion, but I'm so glad I gave it a chance. I got it for a road trip at Thanksgiving when I was having a sciatica flareup and desperate to find anything that'd help me get through twelve hours in the car. The Obus Forme made the trip bearable, and has continued to be a comfort in the car every day since. Now I won't drive/ride without it. Customer Rating: Summary: Amazon, please lower your price. Comment: 2 stars because Amazon's price is $15 more than the non-ULTRA version and $10 more than the MSRP! Now, I love the Obus Forme Seat. But the problem is, the ULTRA and the non-ULTRA seats are THE SAME. I own them both. In fact, I wrote the Obus Forme myself about the difference and they replied: "Thank you for your inquiry regarding our two seats. There are few differences between the two seats, they are constructed from the same technology, however, the Ultra Seat is of a fabric that matches to the Ultra Forme while The Seat is offered in a variety of colors that are intended to match up with our other back rests (Lowback, Wideback etc...)
Your notation regarding a price differential is puzzling. While we cannot dictate price, ail of our products are marketed with suggested retail price. For your reference, MSRP for "The Seat: is $61.00 CDN and the "Ultra Seat" is $60.00 CDN. We trust this clarifies the similarities and differences in our two seat products."
Why is Amazon charging MORE THAN THE MSRP!!?
The fabric between the two seats-and I have them in front of me as I write-is indistinguishable. The comfort is the same. The cushioning is the same. In fact, Obus Forme says the MSRP for the ULTRA is CHEAPER!! 2 stars because you should get the non-ULTRA seat for 15.00 cheaper.
As for the seat: Its ESSENTIAL for people who live in coffee shops/ study all day/ sit at work constantly-and don't have a lotta cushion back there. Makes almost any chair better. Its profoundly good. Just be careful about letting people try it out...its hard to get it back from them!
