subject: Some Tips For Selecting A Good Seat Cushion For The Tailbone [print this page] Tailbone pain is a very common thing which happens in a large number of individuals because of childbirth or because of some accidents. Most of the times the challenge with the tailbone is that when you are sitting it will hurt a lot. There are seating aids available which will be able to take the misery out of the seating.
That said there have been a variety of seat cushion available and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Here are some of the tips that you should consider while buying the coccyx seat cushions.
Always make sure that you get the dimension that you need. There is no standard size fits all and that will depend on your size as well as the size of the car seat as well as the chair seat that you have.
Make sure that the cushion has a cover that is removable and is washable else you will have the trouble when the cushion gets dirty and you will have no option but to buy a new one. Also make sure that there is extra liner for the foam protection.
The best cushions are those that are made up of the visco-memory foam and these are also long lasting. The memory foam will easily take the shape of the body when you sit and regains the original shape afterwards. The memory foam is very resilient and very strong and it helps in talking up all the pressure as opposed to the pressure being on the coccyx.
The sloping seat cushions are much better than the normal ones as the sloping wedge will make sure that you align the spine with lumbar and help you sit in a proper posture. The other benefit is that when you tilt forward there is les pressure on the coccyx and that is why the sloping will provide that forward tilt.
The coccyx cushion with a donut shape is not good as the cutout for the coccyx is not there and that will mean that you will have to have the cut out made all by yourself after you have purchased the cushion. This can be a pain so it is better to stick to the wedge shape cut out style cushion. Another good thing to keep in mind is that you can have the gel filled cushions and these are great cushions to make sure that the cushion gives you some extra relief and comfort.
