I am fairly short in stature and would like to be raised. What Cushion Base thickness should I order?

We recommend the 2" thick Cushion Base if you need to be raised in the seat.  Click here for more information on Cushion Base thicknesses.

I really need to be moved forward in my seat. What should I order?

If you need to be moved forward significantly in your seat, we recommend the Full Cushion Back with Adjustable Lumbar Support instead of the Lumbar Support.  The Cushion Base thickness should be determined by the available headroom and your height.  Click here for more information on Cushion Base thicknesses.

Do I have to use the SoftSeat® Portable Lumbar Support Cushion with the Cushion Base?

After many years of using the SoftSeat® Portable Seat Cushion and listening to feedback from customers, we recommend you use a SoftSeat® Portable Cushion Base WITH the SoftSeat® Portable Lumbar Support Cushion for best results.  That's why we created the SoftSeat® Seat Cushion Base/Lumbar Combo as a Best Results, Best Value option for customers.  Some customers use the Lumbar Support alone, but we don’t recommend it.

Will the color of the SoftSeat® Portable Seat Cushion fabric I select look like it does on the website?

There may be slight variations between how your monitor renders our images and the real thing (see fabric color samples here).  There may also be slight variations in fabric dye lots.  If you are concerned about fabric color, you can request fabric samples using our contact form.  Be sure to include in your message which of the eight color samples you wish to receive.
