  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.
