Helped quickly cure a persistent bedsore on my tailbone that was an aftermath of surgery
By C. Davis on Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2017
After emergency surgery, I developed a small bedsore. Because I am very thin, I could not get rid of it and it was quite painful, even long after I was no longer in bed for long periods. I had tried padded bandages on my tailbone, along with some Neosporin, but the sore did not heal until I used this pad along with it. Within a month, the sore that had been extremely painful for several months, was completely cured. I could sleep with this seat cushion under my hips and, because of its low profile, it was quite comfortable. I tried several different styles of cushions, both square and donut shaped and they were too high and uncomfortable while sleeping or sitting or riding in the car. I decided to give this cushion a try and was thrilled with the results. It is very light and comfortable. It doesn't deflate very fast, so if the top comes off of the refill tube, you are usually okay if you catch it early enough and snap it back closed. If it does deflate, it comes with its own little light pump, which makes it easy to keep it inflated. That being said, this is a low profile product and may not work as well for someone who is extremely heavy. For a medium sized person, though, it is highly effective and I recommend it most highly. I will also take it on car trips to keep from traumatizing that area again while being seated for longer periods in the same position and to for easing any harsh rubbing of the area while getting in and out of the car.

It can help if you use it correctly
By DLee254 on Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2020
My doc suggested this type of pillow for my chair, rather than other tailbone or chair pillows. I had sacral region back pain and sciatica that were hurting a lot and causing worry about developing ulcers. This pillow does work, though it's not at all soft, and you have to position yourself carefully to avoid sitting on the air plug. It's important to inflate it just enough to give you enough support; too little and it won't work, too much and it might make the pain worse. A bit tricky! It's also important to cushion yourself so you don't feel the plastic-y material edges sticking up. But the good news is that within about 2 weeks the pain was 80% gone, and no more worries about ulcers from sitting on my recliner. So I do recommend it, but I'd say to get your doc's recommendation first.
