and I weigh 115 but I prefer the 3 inch firm or the 2 inch firm. they soften up after a few days... and the more separation from me and the trough, the better. the trough is about 3-4 inches wide.

Love the
IC Cushion. Found the E cushion (3inches of firm foam) too hard on my ischial tuberosities but the D cushion ( 2inches of firm foam) was just right ( I weigh 185 lbs.). The cover from the E cushion is perfect on the D cushion (looser across the middle but still fits) Got a new cushion today from Amazon called the Airgo Active Seat Cushion from Germany. It's two glute shaped heavy duty oval bladders joined in the middle with hand pump included. Also, zip off thick ribbed cover. 100 bucks but could be the cushion I've been dreaming of. Will try it out over Thanksgiving and report back.

Hi Pianogal,
Did you purchase the Hara Chair yet? If so, which model did you get?
BTW - I absolutely LOVE my IC cushion, too! Highly recommend the thicker foam!
Warm regards,
Karyn

I posted on here earlier but I don't think anyone saw the post. Could someone tell me the width of the "trough" on the IC cushion? I have pain in the ischial area and want to make sure the opening will be big enough for that. Thanks!

Faith,
The trough is 4 and 1/2 inches wide.
Karyn,
The trip to LA to try the Hara chair has been too arduous to make it worth it after all for me lately... but if/when I do, I will let you all know.

Just wanted to report back on the Airgo Active seat cushion that I got from Amazon. It is extremely heavy duty and has proved useful for leaning forward in hard chairs or even sitting on stools. It is two glute-shaped inflatable oval bladders conected in the middle with zip-off padded ribbed cover and comes with a hand pump. It is flexible enough to vary the angle of the pads and looks like it wil last forever (costs $100) I still prefer the 3 inch soft IC cushion for leaning back for prolonged periods as it gives wider suport and avoids sorenes in my ischial tuberosities. I am 5-10 185 lbs. so this cushion might provide wider suport for a smaller person. I take both these cushions everywhere I go and alternate them depending on the situation. It can be returned with a 15 per cent restocking fee if it doesn't work out.
