5 Reasons Women Over 50 Are Switching From Memory Foam to the SitWell

It uses AirCell™ foam, not high density memory foam

Look at the label on almost any seat cushion and you'll find the same words: high density memory foam. It's what manufacturers default to, because dense foam lasts.

But dense foam is firm. It's in the name. When you sit down, it doesn't give. It pushes back. And memory foam is designed to work best between 55 and 85 degrees, so in a cool house or a cold car it stiffens even more.

The SitWell is made with AirCell™, a high resilience foam. High resilience is its own grade of foam, the kind used in quality furniture and car seats. Instead of dense and heavy, it's airy and springy. It gives the moment you sit, so you settle in instead of perching on top.

AirCell™ springs back, so it won't go flat

If you've ever bought a soft cushion, you know what happens next. It feels lovely for a week. Then it starts sinking. An hour into sitting, you can feel the hard chair right through it.

That's why most brands went firm in the first place. They were trying to stop the flattening. So you've been stuck choosing between soft cushions that go flat and firm ones that feel like a brick.

AirCell™ is the third option. Soft cushions go flat because they have no spring. AirCell™ is springy by design. Press your thumb into it and it pops right back before you can pull away. Every time you stand up, it recovers its shape, ready for the next time you sit.

The contoured seat and open cutout keep pressure off your tailbone

Here's something most people don't know. When you sit on a flat cushion, about half your body weight lands on a patch smaller than the palm of your hand, right under your tailbone and the two bones you sit on.

That's why so many cushions make the pain worse instead of better. All that weight piles onto the spots that already hurt. Some women even end up with a brand new ache they never had before.

The SitWell is shaped like your body, not a slab. The seat dips where your hips rest and curves under your thighs, so more of you touches the cushion and your weight spreads out. Wraparound bolsters ease the pressure on your sit bones.

And the open cutout at the back means your tailbone sits over open space.

The waterfall front edge stops numb, tingling legs

It's one of the most common complaints about other cushions, and one of the least talked about. Twenty minutes in, the backs of your thighs start to tingle. An hour in, your legs feel heavy or numb, and you're shifting constantly to get the feeling back.

The culprit is usually the front edge. Many cushions have a raised lip or a firm bump at the front that presses right into the back of your thighs, exactly where blood flows down to your legs.

The SitWell has a waterfall front edge instead. It slopes gently down and away, so nothing digs in behind your knees. Paired with springy AirCell™ foam, your thighs rest instead of getting pinched.

The attached lumbar back supports your lower spine

A lot of cushions fix one problem and create another. They lift you off the chair, push you away from its backrest, and leave your lower back with nothing to lean on. So you slump forward, and by the end of the day your back aches as much as your tailbone.

The SitWell comes with its own contoured lumbar back, attached right to the seat. It follows the natural curve of your lower spine, so you can sit back and actually rest instead of holding yourself upright.

It goes wherever the seat goes. Dining chair, desk chair, recliner, or the passenger seat on a road trip, your back gets the same support every time.
