I use the cushion to relieve strain on my tailbone while sitting for long periods recovering from shoulder surgery. It does the job.
from cupertino,CA on 11/18/2008
I love it,i was able to make a 20 hour flight by sitting on this cushion inspite of the fact that my sciatica was making me unable to move no matter what position i took.I've been using it for two years now and have bought 3 more since then for my family members suffering from back pain.
from Dallas, TX on 11/13/2008
I bought this along with another, cheaper coccyx cushion, and this one is the best. I use it on my desk chair, and it consistently prevents the fatigue or soreness that would usually accompany a long period of sitting. I tried using it in the car, but it did not provide the same relief; this may be due to the way the car seat slopes down to the back. Nevertheless, it's a great product for my home office use where I often work for hours at a time.

My wife broke her tailbone -- coccyx -- and pelvis. I got this to make riding in the car more comfortable. However, she says the cushion is way too hard to sit on.
from Upper Peninsula Michigan on 11/9/2008
I use this for my office chair, driving, and at home. I have a ruptured disk in my lower back and brittle bone disease. I am in physical therapy but it was not enough to provide relief for sitting over an hour. I was in agony. This cushion has saved my day. I can sit for hours without hurting. I like the removable, washable cover. It's discrete in design and has a handy handle and I even take it to meetings with me without being embarrassed. My weight is about 135 and for me, this is a blessing.
from Park Ridge, IL on 11/6/2008
I have been watching my kids twice a week at their Tae Kwon Do class for four years and the folding chair I sat on killed me everytime. I finally looked into the appropriate type of cushions and this Coccyx Cushion is just what I needed. I wish I hadn't ignored my problem for so long because I can sit in comfort now. I even brought it to a Cubs game and was glad.
from BERKELEY on 11/3/2008
THE CUSHION IS GREAT WHEN ON THE PC AND IN THE CAR TO MY DOC'S APP'T.
from Kansas on 10/28/2008
I sit most of the day in an office chair at
the computer and have been suffering from lower back pain for sometime. This was causing weekly
visit to the Chiropractor (with a office visit charge every visit) I have owned the Coccyx Cushion for several weeks now and love it. No more visits to the Chiropractor. It has already paid for its self and I no longer dread sitting all day at the office. It is also great in the car on long trips. It has saved me time and money. I would strongly recommend investing your money on this product.
from Kansas on 10/27/2008
I recommend this cushion to anyone that has to sit at a desk all day or at a home office. Having hernated discs in my lower back and neck is so painful after sitting for long periods of time. I just wished that I would have had it when we took a weekend trip to sit on in the vechicle.
I have a ruptured disk in my lower back. I am doing physical therapy, but that is not enough to relieve my back for long periods of sitting, which I cannot avoid in my job.
I use the cushion at work and at home. It has provided me with immediate relief from the burning back pain from long term sitting.
I was concerned it would not provide enough support to make a difference, but at 135 pounds I find it supports me just fine, taking the pressure off my spine. I have used it for driving also, it works very well in my bucket seat.
I purchased one for work, and am now purchasing another for home/driving use.
I like the removable/washable cover also.
from corvallis, oregon on 10/20/2008
Very helpful, works as designed. I use it at home and the office.
from Tempe, AZ on 10/17/2008
Light and trim enough to take to Dr. visits. I use it for all but shortest sitting.
from Fairfax, VA on 10/17/2008
I went in search of this particular type of cushion, because A) My doctor recommended this type of cushion and B) I sit behind a desk all day long and by the end of the day my tailbone and lower back hurt so bad, that I just want to go home, lay on a heating pad, take some medication and not get up till the next morning. Unfortunately that is not an option for me, as I am a mother of 2 girls (1 year old and 3 year old) and a caregiver to my husband who is disabled. By the end of the week, I am in so much pain, I can barely move and my children ultimately miss out on opportunities, because the pain is so unbearable, that I just want to give up. I am not to sure of this product. I was convinced this was the product to end my pain and suffering to lower back and tailbone problems. I figured this by the cushions discription and reading other customers reviews of the product. Since purchasing, receiving and using the cushion, I find that I am still very much uncomfortable just as I was before purchasing this product. The cushion doesn't hold up, so while I sit on it, it seems as though it flattens to the chair, so I'm sitting on my tailbone again. I only weigh 109 lbs. If it won't hold up to my weight, then I feel extreme sympathy for anyone who weighs more than me. I suppose the good things I can say about this product is that it has a convenient handle and it's transferable. I guess I am back to searching for alternative pain relief.
from Panama City, FL on 10/15/2008
I am a software developer and have to sit most of the day. This takes a lot of pressure off my lower back, which in turn reduces the pain I feel.
from Pleasant Valley, NY on 9/29/2008
Each of these type of cushions have differences making them better or worse for certain places. This one is almost universally good for all uses; the only drawback is that the handle comes off when one tries to use it to carry the cushion. I like it well enough that I will likely sew it on.
from York, PA on 9/27/2008
I use the cushion in my car for long drives and on my office chair. It provided immediate relief from the pain I had following long periods of sitting. The cushion itself provides relief in it's design, but it also makes me more aware of my posture so that I can self-correct.
from San Diego on 9/11/2008
I bought this for my daughter, who recently had lower back surgery...it helps her tremendously at work, where she does a lot of sitting. The pressure is off her spine and she is in a lot less pain.
from HONOLULU on 8/28/2008
NOT STABLE, SLIDES OFF SEAT
from Chandler, AZ on 8/25/2008
This product helps take the pressure off the tailbone, making it more comfortable to sit.
from Santa Clarita, CA on 8/24/2008
Received an injury to my tailbone from a fall several years ago. I'm 40yrs old, 165lbs and do prperty management and construction. Tried the rubber "doughnut" and found it too small and uncomfortable. Purchased this pillow to help alleviate some of the discomfort felt when sitting mostly while driving. It's well-constructed, has a zippered, removeable cover and built-in carry handle. Memory foam is enclosed in a netted material to help protect it. Has 3yr warranty. Have used it now for approx 2 months. It seems to help symptoms, however the foam compresses too far in my opinion and would probably be useless for heavier folks. Purchased one for my wife (who weighs 100lbs) and she raves about it. I would recommend this product for some but it's not for everyone.

from FLorida on 8/22/2008
Everywhere. I use it in the car, house watching TV & especially at work.
from Lowell, MA on 8/19/2008
This cushion made my vacation bearable. We had long car ride along the coast of Maine... I could enjoy the scenery and not even think about my tailbone. Buy this. You won't be sorry.
from SF, CA on 8/18/2008
I've tried about 5 cushions since I came to the US and this is the best. I like the way it supports my weight (184) with the smaller-sized cushion, and lifts my tailbone off the chair. it's not pain free but it's the best cushion I have for now.
This cushion may be made of memory foam, but it supports my weight decently. I'd recommend the smaller one for travel and the larger one for office/home use. if you're 175 pounds or over I'd definitely recommend the larger size.
from dayton nv. on 8/16/2008
my wife uses it on the couch and on her wheelchair
pretty much anywhere she sits,she has had 32 major
hip surgeries and anything that relieves some pain
is a blessing
from Adrian, MI on 8/13/2008
My wife sits on it and says it helps her sore coccyx.
from Bend, OR on 8/13/2008
Sitting all day in an office chair can get pretty painful. I haven't had any aches since I started using this product.
from Redding, Ca on 8/11/2008
Great product...[...]...great experience!!!
from Port Charlotte, Florida on 8/10/2008
Relief from tail bone pain!
I purchased four of these cushions for home, car & office. It has given me so much relief!
from Merritt Island, FL on 8/6/2008
Use mostly at the office on uncomfortable chairs.
from Baltimore, MD on 8/4/2008
I bought two for both home and office
from NH on 8/4/2008
Very helpful for a painful situation...
from Clarence, Iowa on 8/3/2008
I use this product in our vehicles and when I ride my Rascal Scooter. Before I got them I could hardly walk and it was very painful if I sit for any length of time. Now I can travel to see my grandkids(its a 5 hour drive) and be able to get out of the car upon arrival.
from Alabama on 8/2/2008
Great for long trips in auto and great for office chair.
from Shreveport LA on 7/30/2008
it is comfortable
from Western MA on 7/30/2008
After recent diagnosis of Sciatica I had to do something that would make sitting in the office eight hours a day more comfortable and pain free. This cushion works.
from New York City on 7/17/2008
I have a chipped coccyx and need something to relieve the pressure. The design of this cushion is good, except it's a little to long for my upper legs. Also it unfortunately is too soft, needs to be firmer so that the cushion can actually support one's weight and be comfortable at the same time. This cushion helps a little but doesn't quite do the job. The slant doesn't really make a difference because of the softness, it all feels the same thickness.

After losing a lot of weight due to medical problems sitting for any period of time becomes uncomfortable. With this product I can be comfortable watching TV or long drives in the car.

from Prattville, Al on 6/29/2008
This cushion saved my career. I was seriously considering a medical retirement due to my on-the-job injury. My job requires me to sit most of the day rocking back and forth on my tailbone while delivering mail to my patrons. The pain was unbearable some days. I bought 2 of the cushions (1 for home, 1 for work) and have been steadily recovering from my injury. I am so grateful that I found this cushion before desperately giving up on getting well.

This cushion works great on hard wooden chairs. It doesn't feel as comfortable on padded seats that curve up on the sides.

from Cary, NC on 6/24/2008
The smaller cushion size fits many chairs and the memory foam provides excellent cushioning to ease pressure on the tailbone. I wish I had bought two so I didn't have to carry it around so much.
from boston, ma on 6/16/2008
Car and desk - sometimes dinner table - have taken to the moview. This is all temporary due to a fall, but since the pillow arrived, I seem to be healing quicker and having much less discomfort.
Thank you
from Leominster,MA on 6/15/2008
Love it!!
from st. petersburg,Fl on 6/15/2008

from Tigard Oregon on 6/13/2008
I have arthritis (in my tailbone/coccyx...making sitting quite a "pain in the..."
At the home of another person, I sat on their memory foam, "therapeutic seat cushion" and found it made sitting more comfortable. It had been purchased from Brookstone. I quickly bought one. I use it at home, while seated at the computer. It has been okay but it's quite soft and doesn't keep the tailbone lifted for any length of time. I needed something firmer, as I sit ALL DAY at work for 8 or 9 hours. This Coccyx Cushion just arrived and it IS firmer. Lifts the BACK end enough so that I'm forced to lean forward a little. I'm bringing it to work with me on Monday!
from South Carolina on 6/11/2008
It makes sitting a pleasure

from Dublin, OH on 6/11/2008
I have found that the thicker the cushion, the more comfort I receive. I am getting pain relief from this one, though.
from Novato, CA on 6/6/2008
I sit at my desk all day and was developing hip pain - chiropractor suggested using a wedge pillow, and this one really helps, and my hip pain has diminished.
from Independence, MO on 6/3/2008
My teen daughter broke her tailbone badly we were searching for a good product to give her back support when sitting and take pressure off her tailbone. This product works great in doing both.

from Richland, Missouri on 6/3/2008
This one cushion has given me the first good nights of rest in years, I would'nt give it back for all the money in the world. In fact, if they made one that I could sit on that went from my feet up to my neck with that coccyx area cut out I'd probably have my pain cut in half or more. I have cronic lukemia & lupas, most of my spine is completly destroyed, I've had over 40 reconstructive surgeries & no relief until this one cushion. I can tell right away if I hav'nt sat on it correctly because there is pain, all I have to do is reposition myself until the tailbone pain is gone & then I know I'm in the right spot. Thank you so much for creating this product. You've changed my life. I could hug whoever came up with it.. anyone who lives in constant cronic pain will understand when I say that 'any' pain relief is huge.. well, if your tailbone is a large part of your pain.. get ready to loose that pain. I hope everyone tries this, I'm planning on buying one for everyone in my family who's dissabled, bed-ridden, or lives with cronic back or coccyx pain for christmas. Actually.. scratch that, because they will be getting christmas in July.. why would I let them suffer for another 6 months? I cant wait to go to my daughter's track meet (finally) & be able to actually make it through more than a half an hour. I'd better stop here because I could go on forever about this cushion.. in all seriousness though.. BUY ONE, you wont be dissapointed with the product in anyway..
from New York on 6/3/2008
I use the cushion when driving and when at work. It has made a world of difference in my comfort. Hopefully I will be able to go horsebackriding again soon.
from Tuscaloosa, Al on 6/2/2008
Used for coccyx pain. Fits in chairs well.
from Las Cruces, NM on 5/31/2008
This product is too thin, expensive for what it does not do. Don't waste your money or time ordering this item. I returned the item immediately.
from Hendersonville, TN on 5/28/2008
Worked as advertised.
from Los Banos, Ca. on 5/25/2008
Definitely recommend this cushion for any place you would sit in your house where you need tail bone support/comfort!

from Boise, Idaho on 5/25/2008
This product will indeed help relieve stress on your tail bone, particularly i you have a job where you sit all day. However it is NOT made for anyone of a larger size. It is too small for the seat of my office chair and cuts off my circulation at the mid thigh because it is too short in depth. I am a size 16 / 18 and weight about 190 to 210 depending on the time of the month. So I would NOT suggest this if you are at all of a fully size, it will not be big enough.
from Odessa, TX on 5/25/2008
Great product but could be thicker to provide support on softer chairs that have a tendency to shink to the point of taking away some of the support.
from Los Angeles, CA on 5/24/2008
This cushion is too soft and it compresses so much when you sit on it, your coccyx presses against the chair just as much when you use it as when you don't. And I don't weight all that much.
from Phoenix, AZ on 5/24/2008
I miss not having it. The cushion has enabled me to sit down after the removal of my pilonidal cyst and I can't thank it enough for htat.
from New York City on 5/24/2008
Purchased this for my pregnant wife to use when driving. Density of the unit (I ordered the large version) if exactly what I wanted- does not compress all the wall down but yet is comfortable enough to sit on for long periods. I'd recommend the large version for driving, since it's just wide enough to cover most of the seat.
from Moorpark, Ca. on 5/24/2008
If you are burdened with a coccyx injury, this cushion will save the day. I have had to use one for almost 10 years now after having my coccyx removed, and this one, by far, is the best. Go memory foam!
from Utah on 5/24/2008
I have a pillow made from this foam, so I know it takes a minute or two for it to mold to your body. However, in this case it never seems to soften up. Feels very stiff to me. I was looking for not only tail bone relief (which it does well), but something that felt like I was sitting on a soft pillowy cloud to take the pressure off my entire rear end...which it definitely does NOT! My husband absolutely LOVES it and uses in the car everyday, so it certainly hasn't been a waste of money. He gives it 5 stars.
from Seatle, WA on 5/24/2008
i use this product everywhere byt recommendation of my physician. It is comfortable and I particularly like the fact that enables better posture. It may be nice though if it came in two sizes as sometimes it is inconvenient to carry large pillow everywhere.
from Chicago on 5/24/2008
Improves your posture, too!
