Is your tailbone hurting?
Important things to be aware of
When choosing a tailbone cushion, several key factors influence its effectiveness and comfort:
1. Cut-out for the tailbone (pressure relief)
It is absolutely crucial that you choose a cushion with a cut-out at the back to ensure 100% relief around the tailbone. It is not enough for the cushion to merely be soft – if there is still pressure on the area, inflammation and overuse will not have the peace needed to heal.
A correctly pressure-relieving seat cushion for the tailbone can be crucial in reducing pain from sitting at work.
2. Where will the cushion be used?
It's important to consider where you'll be using your tailbone cushion. Size and shape vary, and not all cushions fit all situations.
- Some models are better for office chairs
- Others are suitable for car seats or wheelchairs
- Certain cushions are more flexible for armchairs and sofas
3. Firmness and body weight
Our seat cushions come in different firmness levels. Your body weight plays an important role here.
For example, if you weigh around 90 kg, you should not choose a cushion that is too soft, as the foam can compress too much. This can cause the tailbone to hit the surface again, reducing the effectiveness of the pressure relief.
4. Material and comfort
Some of our cushions are made of more form-stable foam, while others – such as gel-honeycomb cushions – are more elastic and conform to both the body and the surface. This impacts both comfort and stability during prolonged use.
