Query: It doesn't hold up to elbow abuse

I purchased this product to replace my previous gel wrist rest that had finally worn out after many months of use. This pad wasn't as good as I hoped it to be. First, the product did not give off a bad odor when I removed it from the box, as others have stated. But the gel is very firm and not very comfortable. I really wanted it to feel like gel, but instead it feels like a dry sponge. I primarily use wrist rests for my elbow. Within two days, I already had a permanent indentation where my elbow commonly rests. After a month of use, I have permanent places on the rest where it has bottomed out all the way. To be fair, it is a wrist rest, so I guess it isn't designed for elbows. The positives are that the neoprene outside is sturdy and the edges seem to hold well (so far). But if you are looking for a gel rest that feels like soft gel, this isn't the product. I am already looking for a replacement for this one after only a month of use.
