Shows how behind the time I am ... have never heard of these!

Sorry, but all I can think about now are the old whoopee cushions .... eeks!
I'm sure that is not what you are talking about!

he, he. no, not those kind. they are all over television too and some quilt stores seem to have them also. in one ad they have people sit on an egg on the pad and it doesn't' break. they don't give enough details so I just wanted to know more.

Haven't seen or heard them here .... north of the 49th!
So maybe you have them all to yourself, stateside?

I've seen the ad on TV with them sitting on the egg & it not breaking. I don't have one so can't tell you if they are good or not. Seems like they would be comfortable.

I haven't seen that, I will definitely look for it. I have one of the purple round cushions. Really wouldn't recommend it, it's like sitting on a soft rubber ball. There is definitely some core muscles being used for balance. I purchased it hoping to put it down on standard chairs at retreats and bee. It elevates about 2 inches, making the sewing surface the correct height on standard folding tables.

Several people in our quilt guild use them, me included. They all seem to lose air after a time.

I've never heard of them. But then I'm often out of the loop on the latest and greatest.

Ok, losing air was really what I wondered about and being comfortable. prices are low to high. So, not on my list now! thanks.
