CushionCare Keyboard & Mouse Pad



I received the CushionCare Keyboard Wrist Pad and Mouse Pad through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Ergonomic support
  • Helps keep wrist in a neutral position 
  • Durable
  • Lightweight 
  • Non-skid backing 
The CushionCare mouse pad has a nice, raised up pad area for the wrist. It keeps my wrist in a comfortable and neutral position. It works better than the mouse pad I had previously.

The non-skid backing helps keep this mouse-pad in place. Even when I try to wiggle and move around the mouse-pad, it doesn't move around much, unless I use a lot of force behind my efforts to move the mouse pad.

The keyboard wrist pad is also very comfortable and keeps my wrist in a neutral position. On the downside, the keyboard wrist pad is too big for the area my keyboard is at. Due to the size of my keyboard, if I lay this wrist pad flat, it hangs off over the edge of the desk. If I lay it partly on my keyboard, it will move and wiggle while I'm typing. It's not too bothersome, but it's something that it would take time to get used to.

This keyboard wrist pad is more comfortable than my previous one for the height of the pad or cushion.

The non-skid backing doesn't work as well on the keyboard wrist pad as it does on the mouse pad. The keyboard wrist pad tends to move more and takes little effort to move it.

The material these pads are made out of isn't the softest or nicest to touch. The material is a little scratchy. Although, it is durable and won't rip or come apart easily.

Pros:
- Durable
- Comfortable 

Cons:
- Scratchy material
- Keyboard non-skid backing still moves

Air Stability Wobble Cushion



I received the Air Stability Wobble Cushion through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Durable 
  • Spike dimples provide a stable surface
  • Improves flexibility, balance, and coordination 
  • Strengthens ankles and muscles 
  • Comes with pump and air needle 
  • 14" Diameter 
  • Use for standing, kneeling, or sitting
At first, I wasn't sure which way was up or down on this wobble cushion, so I tried it both ways. 

The first time I tried it, I tried with the spike dimples on top (facing upwards). The spikes would help me stand easier than if I would on the smooth side. It felt like it was holding onto my feet better, especially if I was using only one foot. The spikes facing upwards provides for little massage while standing, sitting, or kneeling, which is nice. It even works nice to give a slight foot massage if you're sitting and resting your feet on the spikes. The smooth bottom doesn't move too much on the floor. 

For balance, the spikes facing downwards and having the smooth side facing up works easier. It allows me a flat surface to sit or kneel on. The spikes also help keep the cushion stable on the ground. It keeps it from moving so much. 

The cushion works well for yoga, stretching, or to even help with a massage, like a foot massage. It's made out of durable PVC material. It comes with a air pump and needle if you need to inflate it to a desired size. 

If I leave it sitting out, I will often catch one of my small dogs sitting on the cushion, no matter which side is facing up.

Dr. Federick's Original Donut Cushion



I received the Dr. Federick's Original Donut Cushion through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Helps distribute body weight evenly
  • Relieves pelvic, perineal, and behind pain
  • Soft & Durable
  • Holds up to 330 Ibs
  • Machine washable 
  • Easy to inflate and deflate 
  • Latex free
I had gotten this product to try because my mom tends to always sit on a pillow when she sits on the couch.

When I received the product, I was reading the material that came with it that listed what all the donut cushion could help with. I was surprised at how much it could be used for, even for pregnancy.

The donut cushion came in a small zip lock package that wouldn't stay closed. The donut cushion also came with an air pump to help inflate the cushion to desired firmness. It's also easy to deflate if you make it too firm.

The material of the cushion is soft and durable. It doesn't make you feel like you're sitting on a pool floaty or air tube. It's not something you'd go sliding off of if you wore slick pants. The material is also machine washable, so it's easy to keep clean.

The cushion helps balance and even out the weight distribution when you're sitting. For me, I usually lean to the right, so it helps keep me more upright when I'm sitting.
