Customer Reviews of Coccyx Cushion - 16" x 13" x 3" to 1.5"
Customer Review: Well, it depends...
Summary: 4 Stars
I notice that far over half the reviewers rated this a four-star or better, but several rated it very low. I can't keep from wondering if we're all rating the same cushion. Here's my experience:
There's a world of difference in coccyx cushions. I've had coccygodinia for probably 30 years. I designed my first coccyx cushion myself, before they were generally on the market, and made two of them. One was of 3" firm foam (for my office chair), and it was very helpful. The other was 1" softer foam (for my car), and it wasn't nearly as good.
In the last 3 - 4 years, I've bought two from medical supply places. One is memory foam, and it was expensive (about $40, as I recall), and very helpful, but long rides in the car or using it on a hard chair still becomes uncomfortable after awhile. The other "bought" one was much cheaper (about $20, as I recall), and it is slightly above useless, but not by much.
The lesson, to me, is that quality is always paramount to price, but especially so in coccyx cushions! Based on my experience, there may not be a "five star" on the market; but I think the memory foam is about as good as it gets; and the cheaper ones are a little better than none at all, but (again) not much better.
Description of Coccyx Cushion - 16" x 13" x 3" to 1.5"
Coccyx Cushion - Tailbone Cushion The Visco Memory Foam Coccyx Cushion is made of high quality standard density memory foam (3.5lb) and helps relieve back pain by reducing the pressure on the spine and coccyx. The temperature-sensitive coccyx pillow foam interacts with body heat to gently mold to your shape and provides customized comfort. The cut-out section eliminates painful pressure on the tailbone. Sloping wedge shape helps correctly align spine and tilts the pelvis forward to restore the natural lumbar curve, a position often recommended by doctors to provide maximum comfort and relief. Can be used with almost any seat: Car seat, Office chair, Home.....virtually anywhere. Coccyx (tailbone) bone pain can come from local trauma or childbirth. A fall on the tailbone can stress the ligaments or injure the attachment to the sacrum. In a significant percentage of tailbone pain the cause is unknown (always check with your doctor for diagnosis and proper care). Individuals with tailbone or coccyx pain (Coccydynia) often find sitting is the most aggravating position. Many tailbone pain sufferers find the most comfortable cushion is the type with a cut-out at the back, underneath the coccyx so that no direct pressure is placed on the coccyx. What is memory foam? Visco-elastic memory foam was originally developed by NASA and used on space shuttles to relieve pressure on astronauts caused by G-Forces during take off. It is several times denser than regular polyurethane foams, is temperature sensitive and always recovers to original shape. It is also called slow-recovery foam (see picture). Due to its distinctive property in relieving pressure, memory foam has been developed into many products such as pillows, toppers, wedges, supports, etc., to benefit millions of consumers worldwide. What benefits does memory foam offer? Memory foam offers the following benefits that, in combination, provides the ultimate stress and pressure relieving support: Memory foam has higherDaily Living Aids
