Fiskars 94216974J Ultralight Kneeling Cushion 11 by 18-Inch - NEW

You need one of these if you're a gardener or if you want to kneel down on any hard surface. It's lightweight foam but adds a layer of cushion to save your knees. Get one for the house and the outdoors.

One of the best purchases I've ever made. So simple and inexpensive but very much needed. My father and I have been using this exact kneeling cushion for about 6 years with no problems. We're very happy with them. We both have very sensitive knees (me close to 60, Dad in his 80s). Even kneeling on a rug is painful, and forget hard ground. But this cushion allows us to do many things we normally could not do. I use it for gardening (to sit on, or to rest my elbow on if laying down to reach back under bushes, and to kneel on). We both use it around the house to do cleaning and repairs where we have to get on the floor, and in the garage when we have to get down low and kneel to repair something. I use it for yoga. It's also great as a seat cushion on hard wooden bleachers, a park bench, or a rock. Yes, I've actually been in a situation where I absolutely had to sit down while traveling by car and the only open "seat" at a rest stop was a boulder that wasn't very smooth. It saved me from great difficulty. The reason I like this size and shape (rectangle, 11x18 inches) instead of some square cushions I've bought is because this is 18" long. Most square cushions are 12-16 inches wide and that's a little too small for me (I'm a big gal). With other cushions I feel like I'm squeezing my knees together to keep from the edges, but not with this cushion. I also like how durable it is. We've used and abused ours for years and they're still holding up as good as new as far as comfort. Yes, they will get dirty and marked up, and you may even manage to puncture it if you put it on sharp objects (like rocks, pebbles, jagged cement) but the punctures and scratches only affect how it looks, not how well it works. I've never had one crack or rip, they just holes and scratches from laying on pointed or sharp objects like rocks or jagged cement (which is expected). And, it has a lifetime warranty!! I love this cushion so much (and the price at Walmart is half of what I've paid at other stores) that I've purchased several more for myself and as gifts. I now have two in the garage (one for doing repairs, one for the garden), and three in the house (one on each floor of the house, one just for yoga and exercise). And I've purchased them for gifts for those who garden, and for the men (and women) in my life that work on cars or do a lot of household repairs. And since it's so light, it's very cheap to ship when gift giving to someone who lives far away. I see this as a great tool and gift for: > Gardeners > Handymen & Do-It-Yourselfers > Camping, Hiking, Picnics (to sit on the ground, boulders, wooden picnic benches) > Those who do yoga > Anyone who has to kneel (or get into a crawl space) for a living > Anyone who experiences pain while kneeling > Anyone who frequents games or concerts where there are hard bleachers
