Donut Cushion Seat, Portable Inflatable Seat Pillow 15" for Hemorrhoid, Tailbone, Coccyx Pain Relief - Air Pump Included

I bought this because I'm 5'1" and my head is always being dramatically pushed forward on airplane seats because the headrest is positioned for taller people with flatter skulls. I am short, especially in the torso, and I also have a round occipital bone that makes my skull extend further backwards into space than my upper back. Well, the protruding headrests on airplanes hit me right in the back of my skull, pushing my head forward at a crazy angle, and it hurts my neck to the point of having to get PT after every flight.I was going to buy myself a child's booster seat to alleviate this issue, but did not like the idea of having it take up so much space in my carry-on, or paying $30 for the privilege. This cushion seemed perfect, and although it did raise me up a good 3 inches, being fairly firm once inflated, I actually ended up just putting it in the small of my back instead. This enabled me to lean back in the seat, while still giving my big ol' skull enough room for me to sit straight and not have my head be pushed forward painfully by the headrest. Great!It should be noted though, that the air pump is useless. I could not get it to work; it seems like the pump part does not seal sufficiently with the enclosing tube, to prevent air from escaping everywhere except out of the nozzle. But it's fine; don't use the air pump at all. Just open the inflation tab on the cushion, pinch the opening with your fingers to open it to air flow, and blow into it yourself. It's a bit difficult, but it works and the nice thing is, once the air is in there, it is somewhat self-sealing, so air doesn't rapidly escape before you physically close the tab again like some others do.But yeah, pump is useless. However at this price, it is still a good deal.

I am a computer programmer, and I sit all day, also I needed a cushion to elevate myself to the height of my desk (I'm short ya'll). This is super comfortable to sit on, doesn't deflate, and it helps with my hips, and gives just the right amount of height I need to sit comfortably at my desk all day.I will say it is SUPER hard to inflate. I tried using the pump and struggled hard core with it, and finally just gave up and used my mouth to blow it up the old fashioned way. Luckily it only takes a few breaths to blow it up.Besides that, that is the only downside of this super cushy cushion.

A waste of $12!!!!! It comes with a tiny pump and the tip keeps falling off the pump. Fine, I have a battery operated air pump - nope it just will not inflate with battery pump. I guess my next step is to push in the clear piece of plastic in of the inflating nozzle on the donut cushion. I'm so disappointed and I really needed this donut cushion. Piece of garbage. It might have been nice if it would inflate.

In my previous review of this product I really put it down in an unfair way, and I would like to change that. I had been waiting for this to come in because I was in extreme pain and there is nothing more frustrating than getting something and it doesn't work - and ordering another one took another two weeks.Usually, I am rational and if I had taken the time to consider one thing, that did stand out to me at the time but I ignored it because of the pain, but in the instructions it indicated that I had to pull the stem out where it is to be inflated. But instead, I sent IVATA a blistering email and an equally bad review on here within 20 minutes of receiving it while I was at the height of my anger, and of course, it was unbelievably painful to sit here and write the email and review, so I kind of didn't have the best kind of constant reminder urging me on.Had I taken the time to realize the possibility that the stem was already out, that it could have possibly been returned and accidentally replaced on the shelf, which is not the fault of IVATA. Then there is the other thing that I would have examined closer if it weren't for the pain. I believe that whoever had it first did pull the stem out... erm, right out as in physically removed the stem and separated it from the Donut. Why I say that is because the instructions were to pull the stem out... I of course pulled at it, but it had no more coming out, but I noticed that the stem seem to be very loose inside.I suspect whoever removed may not have done so intentionally because it would have to be one strong dude to have literally pulled it out with a pop, but maybe somebody who struggled to remove it, got it half removed and realized that that wasn't what the instructions meant, or somebody who tried to "pull the stem out" and returned it because they couldn't. We all know there are some pretty daft people around.I have changed my rating to a four for a couple of reasons. The first is because of my initial reaction, second, the item comes with a 12 month warranty and I never took advantage of that (I would have asked myself why a company would give a 12 month warranty if they didn't have faith in the product), and third, the company reached out to me when they didn't really have to and were more concerned about making it right, offered to send me a replacement, and offered an immediate refund - and she seemed surprised when I told her that Amazon had already given me a refund.So why didn't I give it five stars? I knocked a star off because I never got to sit on it. The four stars is the follow up customer care and the efforts they made to keep me satisfied. Give them a chance. If I ever need another one, I will.

The Ring lasted us for about 1 and a half weeks until a small air hole appeared inside the ring. I have contacted the company and received a 1 year warranty but have been waiting for 2 weeks for them to reply back or send me a new one. over all I say you get what you pay for and believe that this could be a first time seller and it will take time for them to grow. Purchased but would not buy here again only for last minute resort

I bought this because I knew I would need it after giving birth to my son. I tore pretty bad and had a lot of stitches, so sitting down was extremely painful. I used this to ease the pain by taking the pressure off of my stitches when I was sitting and I used it in the car as well as in my home. It worked perfectly and was very comfortable. I used it every day for almost six weeks and never had a problem with it and never had to re-inflate it. Like some other reviewers, I found the pump kind of useless and just blew it up with my mouth.
