Tailbone Lumbar Support Memory Foam Seat Cushion, for Office Chair, Car and Home, ErgoMax Non Slip Unrivaled Sciatica Pain Relief, Orthopedic Ergonomically Contoured Coccyx Lower Back Support Pillow

I've been dealing with arthritis in my spine for about 10 years. Flying anywhere kills me and I travel a lot. I'm stuck in mediocre seats without much room to change positions and standing up isn't always an option. My spine compresses making the trip painful and uncomfortable. The longer I sit, the worse it feels. When I stand up and release all those squished nerves, it's like an explosion hits me in my lower back for about 3-5 seconds. Plus, the lingering pain and discomfort for the next few hours. Any flight that will be over an hour and a half fills me with instant dread. Flights overseas? I'm screwed. I load up on vodka. Still hurts, but I don't care as much. I flew to Spain and knew I *had* to find something better than the little camping pillow that hadn't been working for me for years. I bought this cushion in August, right before my trip down to Jalisco, Mexico. I was so excited to try it out. I liked that it came with a bag to carry it in. I didn't have to worry about it taking up space in my carry-on, getting it out, and having to carry it while boarding. I could hang it over my luggage handle. The bag also keeps the cushion from getting dusty or dirty. I also like that there is a piece of fabric connecting the opening so it can be carried or attached to something that way as well. Sadly, it was simply "ok" on the flight there. I still felt some discomfort, but not as much. But the flight back... it seemed to do nothing. I kept moving it and moving it and I could not find the Sweet Spot. I think the cushion needs less thickness in the front to level the cushion once the compression happens from the pelvic region's pressure points. Since the thickness isn't tapered, the back naturally compresses under the heavier weight of our torso. The front area under our legs doesn't compress as much. You're tilted back so the pressure on the spine is back to square 1. But I'm not an expert. Maybe the airplane's seats were shaped differently or maybe it was me. I had 2 more trips after the Mexico flights and the cushion still didn't give me the level of comfort I was hoping for. I knew the time it would take to "try it out" would put me past the 30 day return window so I knew I was risking my money going in. I'm flying to Switzerland in a few months. An overseas flight will be the real test. For reference- I'm 37, 5'6", 160 lbs. Average height and weight.

I bought this for a bus trip I was taking with my 8th grade son and his class. We had to spend the first 24 hours and the last 24 hours of the trip on the bus. Several months before I had fallen on my tailbone while skiing and couldn't sit for long periods of time after that. All I can say is thank goodness I bought this cushion for the seat on the bus! Although my tailbone still got a little sore after so much sitting, the difference in pain was like night and day when comparing sitting with and without the cushion (I tried without and couldn't even last an hour without it). It does squish down when you sit for a while, but that's what I liked about it because then I was not so much higher than the other passengers and the top of the bus seat. It goes back to its original shape as soon as you stop sitting on it. Now that I'm back from my trip, I use it on my office chair and it's a lifesaver!

This is my second purchase of this Zephyr pillow. I left the other one in the park and fly van. It is very comfortable and provides great support.I broke my pelvis in 3 places two years ago and have used several different lumbar support pillows from Amazon since then that were gray or white covered. The reason I am purchasing this pillow is because I am traveling and it has a handy handle on it and it is gray so it blends in well. I have 2 white lumbar pillows that I use in my car and home because they are brighter and bring attention to the fact I have to use a lumbar pillow. This pillow has not flattened nor have any of the 8 pillows I've purchased previously from Amazon. It only comes in a regular size. However, there is a gray lumbar pillow that comes in an XL size on Amazon and it folds. I purchased that for my husband when we traveled to Hawaii and he loved it. This is well priced and a great product. (Just remember to pick it up after you have used it!)

Ok, I have what is called: failed back surgery- yes, a real medical term! Right leg/ankle/foot neuropathy. I have bought 6 different back support seats here on Amazon. 3 of them were too soft-gave 2 to my Mom. One is in my desk chair under a hard plastic support. I had the ultimate one- alas, my Daughter’s Olde English Bulldogge chewed it up. My quest to find a harder model went on- and stopped with this one! It’s nice and hard and my back loves it! I’m thrilled to have found this one-very supportive! It’s on the couch where I sit to watch TV. I was skeptical when it came- it was folded in half in a box.. looked a bit odd. So the initial presentation was not great. It quickly flattened- but it’s sturdy, not flat! I am so thrilled! Highly recommend if you need real support- and not like you’re sitting on a pillow! Thank you so much!

I am changing my review of this product because of the amazing customer service that I experienced after I got a damaged product the first time. Someone reached out to me to apologise for the first damaged product and offered to give me another free of charge (after refunding the first one and shipping it back, *return shipping was also paid for by them*) I had originally found the first cushion way too hard but this one seems to be softer and much better. I have not seen if the "cooling" part works but for now I'm happy with it! I'm about 170 lbs and have issues with pelvic pain and coccyx pain so hopefully this will help especially with driving!

I had back surgery a couple of months ago and my back is fine now but since my back surgery my tailbone has been hurting. I went on line to fine something that will ease my pain. I have a desk job and if anyone knows anything about desk job it is so bad on your lumbar area including your tailbone.Anyway I found this Tailbone Lumbar Support Memory foam and thought I would try it out and SO glad I did. I can actually sit and get up after a couple of hours and my tailbone is fine also it kinda makes you sit to make you sit correctly. I love it so much that 3 of my co-workers has ordered one. I am planning to buy another one to put in my car I need it when I take long trips.
