Product Reviews of Coccyx Cushion - Extra Soft - 16" x 13" x 3" to 1.5"
Product Review: Saved my butt!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been experiencing tailbone pain again since losing weight (and losing my "natural cushion"). The pain had really grown intense due to a new job with quite a bit of travel involved. I now carry my coccyx cushion on the plane with me and use it in my rental cars for the entire trip. This is the best investment I could have made for myself.Product 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.
Product Review: Terrible smell; not as picured/described
Summary: 1 Stars
I received my cushion from Medical Dept. Stores. It came in a sealed plastic bag. When opened, the cushion reeked of gasoline/diesel/fuel oil--all come to mind. After one week, it still reeked and left a smell on my clothes to carry around with me. Also, it was not as described or pictured. There was no removable blue cover, but a faux leather/suede cover and handle. The memory foam performed great--the little I actually used it. After a week, I returned it to the seller. I have used visco memory foam products in the past and nothing smelled like that or for so long! The cushion also looked very tacky and cheap with the faux leather covering.Product Review: Too soft
Summary: 2 Stars
Way too soft. I looked around on the internet for a supportive pillow found this one with great reviews but don't trust the reviews! This pillow is so soft it's not supporting what it says it will! After using this for a few days I'm still in as much pain as I was without it. Save you money looks elsewhere.Product Review: Very comforable
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this item for my lower back after I fell and landed on my rear. I was finding it very uncomfortable to sit for long periods. This cushion is helping me. It is firm and comfortable and seems to be holding up well.
