Travelon Honeycomb Gel Seat Cushion, Gray

I really like this cushion! I am 5' 8" about 180 pounds and found that this cushion helps take the pressure off my tailbone, which is so nice not to feel pain while sitting! I fractured my coccyx 10 years ago and still have pain issues in that spot, probably arthritis by now and cortisone shots don't help it. Ice is nice or a frozen bag of peas, but can't sit on that all day long. Although, I don't want pain to keep me from living life, so this cushion is the best I've found to use for my problem. It does not inflate to a hard and firm feel, which I think would hurt anyway, but it does give just enough lift for me to get that tailbone suspended and that's all that matters when sitting is required! I've tried so many different styles, materials and brand named cushions only to find them to either go flat after one days use or hurt my thighs from just a few hours to other kinds that just pushed against my tailbone constantly, which only defeats the purpose. Had to keep shifting from hip to hip because sitting normally was not going to happen. Had found with this item though that nothing feels better than sitting on a cushion filled with air with a cutout specifically for the tailbone makes it perfect to help eliminate that agonizing pain! I've sat on it around the house a few times, but haven't put it into hardcore use yet. Plan to use one at work on the forklift, one in my vehicle for long trips and one when I go kayaking. When I first opened the package and turned the valve to the left, had noticed that if I just leave it alone with the valve open and give it time to do its thing it will fill up with air and then when the desired amount is reached I close the valve turning it to the right and gently sit on it. I seen many negative reviews on this item before buying it, but with the constant pain I suffer in my tailbone, I've been willing to try anything to make sitting a comfortable thing to do again. Having this kind of a product around is really nice for my situation, but if it starts to leak, as I've read from others that have had problems with it which is a real drag, then I will most likely try to do anything I can to make it work because sitting on air is by far better than sitting on any solid cushion I've ever tried in the past! Planning on buying a few more, but would be nice if the price was lower. Then I could have one everywhere I sit and not have to carry it with me everywhere I go! Hope this review gives others some more insight on this product and help with your purchasing decisions. Blessings to you!
