The orthopaedic seat cushion from Theraline made a very good impression in our test. In addition to the elegant but simple design, the product impresses with its high-quality workmanship. We could not find any seam defects, the material of the cushion cover is elastic and yet retains its shape. The foam layer and the Theraline microbeads inside adapt perfectly to the shape of the body, ensuring a comfortable fit. The manufacturer’s well thought-out concept is underlined by the cover and the patented filling combination. As a real all-rounder, the product is suitable for a wide variety of surfaces and can be cleaned in the washing machine if the cushion cover becomes soiled. The only thing that would be desirable is the option to choose between different degrees of firmness.
