Home/Office Midnight Black

A have a herniated disc, and had to buy a very ergonomic recliner with sloping ottoman. Believe it or not, Flash Furniture (office furniture) is some or the best (almost qualifies as a medical device). After some modifications like a Perfect Posture seat cushion (new model), and filling the zippered headrest with a thick slab of memory foam, it was easy to get at the proper angle. The recliner with ottoman is available on Amazon (it's the dark brown with maple). After some time, I noticed these dents in the armrests where my elbows always end up. I chose the Elbow Friend in black, and they are perfect!!!!!! No they are not memory foam. If they were, the would cost a lot more. The high-density foam is just right. My elbows put very little weight on these pads. They don't crush down. They have the perfect firmness. They fit the bill so well, I now consider myself a master at this Amazon buying art. Yes if you clean the armrests with isopropyl alcohol, let them air dry, the Velcro will stick extremely well. They have never moved on me. They cover the dents in my armrests, and are very supportive and comfortable. I highly recommend this item (even for a leather recliner). I am very pleased. Thanx Amazon for yet another beautiful experience!!!!!!! Jack

I love these things. They are just the perfect size for my Poang arm chair, Soft, supportive, but they do slip and move around some after a month or so. It is easier to re-attach them, but I wish I didn't have. Still, for the price, I wouldn't hesitate to get them again.

I've used these every day at work for about 8 months now, these are AMAZING! I have a chair at work that has hard plastic armrests, and they were a little coarse for whatever reason, but my elbows would HURT at the end of the day! They'd be red an irritated too. I had to do something about it. I saw these "Elbow Friends" on Amazon and I had to get them. The velcro wraps around your armrest and the velcro on the Elbow Friend sticks right to the top. It also comes with stickies with velcro so you can use it in your car or somewhere else that doesn't have armrests, just a flat surface. I highly recommend these if you were in the same situation I was! Your elbows will thank you! It's a great peace of mind knowing I don't have to worry about my elbows hurting every day.

It's a good idea and does work BUT the foam they use it very cheap. It's too soft and too high. So you arm rolls around on it a lot. Had they just used a more firm 1 inches piece of foam it would have been much better. But that's exactly what I am going to do replace the foam which they allow by just unzipping the cloth covers on the side. Go to Home Depot and buy some good foam.

My elbow friends arrived Last week. When I opened up the package I was surprised by the sleek new design of the pads. I first experienced elbow friends a few years ago when I was looking for something to ease the pain in my wrists. I am under 40 with bad arthritis and was looking for something to help my wrists and elbows since I tend to lean on my elbows when I sit at the desk. They worked great to pad my elbows, but they spun around on the arms of the chair and looked kind of clunky. I saw these new ones online and thought they would be worth a try. Well, the elbow friend has been completely redesigned since my last experience with them. They are now a lot lighter and filled with foam. They are also more of a square shape so they sit nicely on the arms of my chair. I quickly strapped them on and tried them out. They are incredibly comfortable and stay put on the arm rests. I've had them on for about a week now and am thrilled with them. I highly recommend them and I need to go figure out if I can buy another set to fit in my Honda element (not a car with extra padding!).

I've had these now for 4 weeks with daily use and I'm completely satisfied with them. The arms on my chair are narrow enough to not need extenders and I've had no problems with them moving around. I am mindful to not push on them from side-to-side so as to not loosen the velcro attachment straps as i can imagine could happen if someone habitually leaned on them, forcing them to want to slowly slip around. I was pleased with the type of foam construction these are made of, they offer a firm support and will most likely last a long time without breaking down and losing firmness. They obviously don't look like they were originally made for the chair, but I didn't buy them for aesthetic reasons, I bought them for comfort and for that I am pleased.

It gets very hot and moves around a lot. Also doesn't come with a secure fastener. What it does come with are 4 VERY short Velcro straps that is beyond small for any piece of furniture. I've tried it on 5 different chairs, too short for all of them. Basically, I will have to buy my own Velcro to actually have this work. Also, the way they have this secured is pretty dumb. You wrap a partially double sided Velcro around your chair, and then the elbow cushion just sits on the Velcro. NOT a very secure way of doing this. If they just put a loop on the bottom that the Velcro could slide through to make sure it wouldn't fall off, I would have given this a much better review. Basically as it stands, I can only equip one of these elbow cushions because of the poor and short straps it came with, and the cushion gets so hot that you can't keep your elbow there for long periods of time. HORRIBLE BUY!

The wooden arms on a chair I frequently use were killing my elbows and forearms. So I went looking for some kind of retrofit arm cushions and found these. They work for me, although I had to buy a set of extension straps (available separately). First, I installed the straps tightly to each chair arm with the provided non-slip pad between the straps and arm to keep the straps in place. Then I stuck the cushions to the straps. The Velcro is strongly adherent and keeps the cushions pretty much locked in. Overall, the product gives the impression of being well designed and executed by someone who gave it a good deal of thought. A few things to note from my personal experience with this product. Getting the straps on the arm can take some tweaking to come out not only tight, but also with the Velcro loops on top. Just something to be aware of. For me, the cushions are not the ideal size, because they are wider than the arms of my chair, leaving the edges of the cushions unsupported. So, when resting my arms on them, the thick foam rocks distractingly from side to side. I don't mean to make this sound too negative--in my view, it's a small price to pay in lieu of the elbow torment that would be happening without the cushions. The pads are a little bit noisy as peripheral areas of the Velcro adhere and release when I lower my arms onto them and then raise them again.. The separately-purchased extension straps are what made this product work for me.

Excellent height adjustment and comfort !

They are ok, a little too soft. But work.

Great product. Ontario, Canada
