Now the first thing after the doctors diagnose the coccyx pain or the fractured coccyx or the inflammation is to avoid the direct pressure on the tailbone. That can be avoided by having a good coccyx seat cushion which has several types that I will explain below. 

Wedge style cutout cushion for the coccyx.

The main thing to note that is that pressure is applied when you sit on the chair and you will need to avoid the coccyx touching the chair. The way that is achieve in this that the t   there is a cut out section in the coccyx seat cushion which will make sure that the when you sit the coccyx is not touched it is in the cut out . The wedge helps in making sure that the posture is correct while sitting. That will mean that the pelvis will be leaning forward and that will help in having the entire weight forward. 

You can use this as a car seat cushion or while sitting in the office or even while travelling for long hours in an aero plane. 

Donut seat cushion or the ring coccyx seat cushions. 

The donut cushions are in the shape of a donut and these work ok in some cases and not ok in some cases and the reason is simple. Since these are donut shaped cushions the coccyx will still be touching the seat and that is not good. It is better to get the wedge shaped cushion or you can cut the portion out from the donut or ring shaped cushion to make it into a tailbone seat cushion. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cushions with a cut-out are the best and you can get those very easily and these are also known as the Tush-cush. Then there are the gel cushions that are also there. It all depends on what will suit. SO make sure that you have the best thing available in the case of the cushions and keep trying the cushions if it does not work with the first one 

A special cushion designed like a briefcase is also there which helps as in that case you can easily mask that you have a problem and you will face no questions and will void all the embarrassment.
