- Yes, they are, but also know that if you get a leak in one,
- they can repair them just fine. I had tried many times to repair
- my own and finally sent it in. It came back pretty quick and
- repairs I think were stronger than the rest of the cushion. One
- thing if you decide to get one -- be sure to get one of their
- covers. They have one that has a non-skid bottom (pretty well),
- and this keeps the cushion from scooting out from under your tush
- -- and therefore killing your lower back. Also the cover that
- keeps the sides of the cushion's sides from spreading out is
- best, as it keeps the air under you better. I also always laid a
- towel on top of all this, in order to wick away the sweat that
- sitting on rubber otherwise generates.
