The 66fit Coccyx Seat Cushion serves the function of a standard cushion, which provides you with a comfortable surface to sit on, but it has an additional space or gap made for your tail bone also called the coccyx bone.
The function of a coccyx cushion is to reduce the pressure applied to your coccyx bone in the upright sitting position as it has a horseshoes shaped hole which houses the coccyx bone while sitting, thus most of your body weight is supported by your ischial tuberosities or hip bone rather than the coccyx.
With this modified sitting cushion, the pain in your coccyx bone due to prolonged sitting can be prevented or cured.
Features Of The Allcare Coccyx Cushion:
- High-density PU Foam: The cushion is made from high-density PU (polyurethane) Foam that is resilient and firm for supporting the seated position and providing a comfortable surface for seating.
- Horse-shoe-shaped cut-out: This cut-out is located at the back portion of the cushion where the coccyx bone is placed during sitting. The purpose of this cut-out is to relieve the pressure from the coccyx bone in the sitting position. While sitting on this cushion, because of the cut-out shape, your whole body weight is supported by your hip bones, and the coccyx bone is free from any compression, thus relieving pain significantly.
- Wedged shape: The cushion has more height at the back than at the front, giving it a wedged shape that tilts the pelvis anteriorly, preventing rounding of the back, slouched posture, and maintaining a neutral spinal curve while sitting. With this unique mechanism, the 66fit Original Coccyx Cushion is intended to prevent lower back pain along with coccyx bone pain.
- Size: The cushion comes in a convenient size that fits in most chairs and car seats.
- Lightweight: It is a lightweight cushion that further increases its portability.
- Carry handle: The cushion is fitted with its own carry handle so that you can easily transfer it from one place to another or hold it hanging in your hand while carrying it.
The Original Coccyx Cushion Can Be Used For:
The coccyx cushion can be used for any condition that is presented with pain in the coccyx bone. Because of its versatile design, it not only reduces the pressure from the coccyx bone in the sitting posture but also supports the natural curves of the spine by tilting the pelvis anteriorly.
Here are some common conditions in which you can use the coccyx cushion.
- Coccydynia: It is a painful condition of the tailbone caused by a fall on the bone. It causes bruising, swelling, and severe pain in the tailbone that further increases with pressure during sitting.
- Post-Childbirth: During childbirth, the mother’s coccyx bone can get bruised or dislocated due to pressure from the baby’s head which can further cause severe pain after childbirth.
- Pressure sores: It occurs when the skin over the tailbone becomes bruised, or discoloured due to pressure from prolonged sitting or any external trauma.
Material:
