COCCXY CUSHION SOFT

About

A soft coccyx cushion is an ergonomic seating accessory designed to provide gentle pressure relief and comfort for the tailbone (coccyx) and lower back. Unlike its harder counterparts, a soft cushion typically uses materials like memory foam, gel, or soft foam to conform to the user's body shape, offering a plush and supportive experience. It features a strategically placed cut-out or contour at the rear to cradle the coccyx, preventing direct contact with the seating surface and thereby reducing pain from conditions such as coccydynia, sciatica, or post-surgical discomfort. This type of cushion is particularly beneficial for individuals seeking enhanced comfort and a softer feel during extended periods of sitting, promoting better posture and circulation while minimizing pressure points.

Uses

• Alleviating tailbone pain and discomfort.
• Providing comfort during prolonged sitting.
• Support for individuals with hemorrhoids.
• Aiding recovery after childbirth or spinal surgery.

Directions For Use

Place the cushion on any seating surface with the U-shaped cut-out facing the back, ensuring the tailbone is suspended in the opening when seated.
