I Bought One Of Those Cushions To Help Alleviate Tailbone Pain…
Sat on it a couple hours. I should have done this last year. Lost so much weight that it puts pressure on my tailbone and hurts to recline in my lift chair or recliner chair. I should be getting much more sleep now. Best $39.99 I ever spent. They have different brands some $80 or more but this one was on sale and it feels great. Bless the person who invented it.

My friend Tom actually got bedsores on his tailbone when he was in rehab, and the sore kept splitting. The nurse finally sent him to a wound doctor. The wound doctor said that the cushion style above would actually be bad for a tailbone wound, because it spreads the cheeks a little bit, and the wound would have ended up splitting even more.
What he recommended is called a ROHO cushion, which is filled with small adjustable air pockets. It's extremely soft to sit upon, and is normally used by people in wheelchairs.
But I am super glad you found something that feels great on YOUR tailbone.
@4meAndyou When I had surgery they stuck a soft pad on the back of my calves and on my tailbone area to prevent pressure sores. Hopefully this cushion will help prevent them during my recuperation after the next surgery.
