PROS:
1. Cushion is an attractive beige velour that looks nice with my office decor.
2. It is lightweight and has a handy carry handle.
3. It has a zipper so you can remove the cover and wash it if you spill coffee in your chair as I have done a couple of times.
4. BEST OF ALL: Tush Cush is made in the U.S.A.
CONS:
1. You have to position yourself just right on the cushion, or it will be really uncomfortable.
2. It feels too firm and hurts my legs after an hour or so.
3. Somewhat pricey for what it is.
Would I recommend this to someone? I don't know that I would recommend this particular cushion, but I would mention it as one of many that someone might consider. I will probably look for another cushion for myself and keep this one for my car.I've had on again, off again tailbone pain for YEARS now. This past bout has been longer than usual and more painful than any other (going on my 5th straight month of pain). I've had a standard donut cushion on the ready for the last 7-10 years, but it has always required some shifting and contortion to work on my office seat, car seat, etc. Sit on that cushion wrong and OUCH! It hits the exact area you're hoping to avoid.
My Tush Cush arrived today (faster than expected) and provided INSTANT relief. A much better option for those suffering from tailbone pain, this cushion is cut out perfectly to avoid painful pressure and fits perfectly into my office chair and car seat. The cushion is firm, without being hard and the dark gray helps it blend into the surroundings so it isn't screaming to office mates, "This woman has something wrong with her rear!" perfect! :)I purchased this as a gift for my boyfriend. His work requires him to sit in front of a computer for around 10 hours a day, and he was always complaining about lower back pain. His chair is at the normal right angle, and they say that it can be more comfortable to sit on a sloped surface, so I thought it was worth a shot. Since he has been using this product, his back has been much happier and he has had an easier time working. Contrary to my fears, he does not slide off his chair, despite sitting on downward slope. As an extra special treat, I am asked for fewer back rubs, so I win too!
I recommend this product to anyone who tends to experience lower back pain from sitting for extended periods of time.The "Tush Cush" is fabulous! I first bought one for sciatic nerve pain, which subsided with use of the Tush Cush. I just bought another after loaning my original to friends following hip replacement surgery. This time, I bought two one for my office & one for my car! The Tush Cush is very well made & this size is perfect for an office chair or car seat. It's what you need if you sit for long periods of time!I bought this cushion for sitting in week long workshops. I thought it would help me have better posture and make it more comfortable to sit in chairs that don't have enough padding. Well, I just finished a workshop and I experienced a completely different kind of pain using this cushion. My coccyx/tailbone became so inflamed or sore stop I had to stop using anything. I suspect it's because of the cutout but maybe the cushion is the wrong density. I'm 6ft and weigh 175 so it's not like I have an unusual body. And I'm not physically out of shape. Unfortunately, I bought this thing too far in advance of my meetings and am past the return period. So, if you decide to take the chance on this, make sure you test it out for several days on your own tush right away.
