I purchased a pricey supposed medical grade seat cushion with the contoured rear cutout for spine issues.
As a guess, it helps reduce discomfort by maybe 50%. Tolerate a few minutes sitting on a bare wood chair, 15-minutes with the cushion and believe it or not, just about as long on one of those stackable molded plastic chairs -- bare, without cushion.
Over the period of a year, I bought a pair of middle-grade high-back office chairs at Costco Mexico. They are comfortable without the additional pad. The gel medical pad plus memory-foam lumbar support is near heaven comfortable in the car.
But the low height is an issue with a lot of sofas (ummmm...I cured the bathroom issue with an all plastic medical seat booster).
Finding memory foam and especially gel foam is a hassle.
