Does this cushion keep its height when in use and will it help a person who needs help getting off a regular chair?

Like all foam it does compress, the amount depends upon your weight. It does not bottom out though and returns to its original height when you get off of it. I don't know how it could help you to get off a chair.

It works like memory foam. You will still need to give same amount of help.

It compresses under weight but regains its height when off-loaded. I doubt it will be of any particular help with transfers - even if the person tried to "bounce" out of the chair. I have no idea of other imaginative uses for it - I shipped it abroad after a few days.

The cushion conforms to your buttocks, great relief for me, it does noy assist or hinder your movement,it very simply easesthe pain from setting.

In my opinion, no. The cushion squishes a lot from the weight of a person and moves on the chair it is placed on, so it needs to be repositioned as the person sits.

This cushion will not flatten. I would say it is 2 inches when sitting on it and when you get up it goes right back to the original size if over 2 inches. I am 300lbs and this works for me in the car as well as at home.

Yes, there are bungee cords underneath the cushion. It takes the sensation from sitting on something flat and solid to sitting on something that shifts and supports your weight. Think of sitting on a couch with springs vs. a couch with boards.

it may hold you upside down,remember that thre's a part that's intend to provide ajustments for your height measurements,so it depends on how you adjusted....have fun with it...its a marvelous equipment,I used it almost every day,for my herniated disks....

The cushion seemed to help my wife's back problem to some degree. She is still using it when she sits for a relative time.

The foot rest moves freely back and forth- pivots- which is a plus in my book. The height position is fixed, once you set that, it stays.

It locks which can possibly cause a situation where you can hurt yourself if there is too much tension. However, all you have to do is stand up if you are not comfortable in anyway. I found this device is so effective, you really need to start with just a little tension and work your way up over weeks. I am 6'3" and have no problems using it in my doorway in a chair.

The cushion is made of 100% polyurethane foam - it does retain it's original form if you would briefly stand on it - remember, its purpose is a foot rest.

Should help quite a bit because it elevates you to a slightly higher position so when you perform sit to stand, you are not starting as low. Best thing would be a higher chair with armrests you can push up on with your hands/arms.

The foot rest does not get in the way of getting in and out of the chair. My friend with MS and my mom 86 yrs old does not have any problems.

hmmm no, probably you know this already but you can adjust the height, try making it lower or higher , or reducing the tension , might help, but I use it all the time , no problem so far

My son uses this massager often, but never leaves it on the chair to just sit on. It is not designed for that. A great massager he's gotten a lot of relief from it. I cannot address how it would be for someone tall, since my son is 5 ft 8 inches and it covers his back quite well.

I'm sorry but I have only used it to sit the back is strong enough to help you lift yourself up. I hope this helps

This does sit up high. It's very comfortable and gives great support. The person I bought it for doesn't like it (he doesn't like anything different) , but I'm thinking about taking it to work to put in my computer chair because I have sciatica. The cover is water repellent, which is nice, but it is slippery on a wheelchair. I'm thinking about making a covering for it, or putting velcro strips on it to keep it in place. It is a very nice size. If your Dad is doing a lot of sitting, I think this would be perfect for him.

The cushion is part the seat, not an attachment, so no. Without the seat you have no chair!

The handle DOES move the footrest back into the down position. It is a "strong" pull that takes a little strength to get back up, and if you only push the footrest back down with your legs it will not stay fully collapsed - you have to use the handle.
