Pure memory foam is the way to go for hip problems. Best pain/pressure reduction I've tried.
I have a hip which needs to be replaced within the next year before it fails completely. There is so much missing and badly damaged bone, that the surgeon says this is going to be a hip reconstruction rather than a hip replacement. I use a walker because idea of using a wheel chair feels like I'm giving up. I am in intense pain 99% of the time. Initially, I tried another brand of memory foam cushion with a "cooling gel" seating surface, thinking the "cooling" gel would help with the pain, much like an ice pack. That cushion actually made my hip pain significantly worse. The gel was stiff enough that it actually put more pressure on my hip joint than no cushion at all. The Everlasting Comfort cushion is the one I should have purchased from the start. The pure memory foam spreads out the pressure of sitting over a much larger area, which reduces the pain of sitting at my desk for hours significantly. The only minor drawback with this cushion is that it's just a bit too small to cover the seating surface of all of my chairs. I came close to taking one star off for that. In the end, I decided that this relieved enough pain to deserve 5 stars. If they release one that is about 2 inches bigger in both dimensions, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I believe that extra inch on each side would spread the pressure out even further, helping even more with my constant pain. As it is, I still highly recommend this cushion for anyone with painful, pressure sensitive hip joints. It helps me a lot.
