Customer Reviews of Coccyx Cushion - Extra Soft - 16" x 13" x 3" to 1.5"
Customer Review: Sciatica relief!
Summary: 5 Stars
Three years ago I was admitted to the ER with extreme sciatica. It was two months before I could even begin to sit upright. Were it not for this pillow, it would have been much longer before I could sit without tears streaming down my face. Three months after the injury, I was able to take a cross-country plane trip that included an hour car trip to attend a conference with a week's worth of sitting... along with pain meds and an ever-present ice pack... because I took this pillow with me.
Since then, I've gotten one for each vehicle and have one at my desk and at my sewing/crafts table. Three years later, I still have sciatic discomfort, and I believe it would be worse more often if I didn't use this support regularly. The angled design causes my pelvis to tilt in the proper way when I sit, and this has helped to strengthen those muscles to improve my posture comfortably and improve my endurance when I have to sit without the pillow.
My mother-in-law broke her tailbone as a much younger woman and has had difficulty sitting for 45-50 years. She used one of my pillows for a few days and acted like she'd experienced a miracle! LOL! I had to get her one to get mine back for my computer chair! She recently took a bad fall and broke her femur near her hip and was confined to a wheelchair for two months. She says she doesn't think she'd have been able to endure it without her "butt pillow."
Neither of us sit anywhere for very long without one under our tush. Don't "save money" by purchasing a cheaper product unless it has the viscous memory foam and the angled design... you probably won't be pleased. The non-memory foam pillows just don't offer the same support and it is the angled design that tilts your pelvis forward slightly, relieving additional pressure on the tailbone, that provides so much relieve from pain and pressure.
If you have any sort of low back issues, I'd strongly recommend a product like this for any extended sitting... I couldn't believe how much longer I could sit after my injury when I brought this home... 2-3 times longer than without one. Which is why I've got them all over the place now! :-D If you have a "wider tush" search around for a product in a wider design, but be certain it is memory foam.
Description of Coccyx Cushion - Extra Soft - 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
