Review on the seating cushions

Post by ramana »

I am back in the market for a seating cushion. So far, I have carried on with a combination of changing posture frequently and using coccyx cushion/ ring cushion.

The best pain relief that I have had is by sitting on the toilet seat. The ring cushions that I have bought do not have the larger size holes and the ones that I got built did not have a good quality foam. Nevertheless, with increasing pain and the existing cushions getting increasingly worn out, I researched and found that there newer solutions out there. It will be great if people can share their experiences

These are the ones that I like
http://www.theraseat.com/(I had tried this during the peak of pain and it did not work that well so I returned it. Not inclined to try it again except it is still highly rated)
http://www.goodcushion.com/design.html (At least good description of the sitting problem)
http://www.cushionyourassets.com/Twin-C ... TWC101.htm (am inclined to purchase this because it may offer a larger 'hole' like toilet seat)



I didn't understand these though they look promising

These are the ones that I have used (not the same brand though)

Also to prevent hunching (and what I have noticed increase in abdominal trigger points) are the posture aids any good
