Coccyx and tailbone relief for drivers and passengers. The Alex Orthopedic Coccyx Car Cushion is made from firm supportive foam in a wedge shape that elevates the front of the seat to tilt the pelvis forward, reducing direct pressure on the coccyx (tailbone) during extended sitting in the car. The tapered wedge design — 3" at the back tapering down to 1" at the front — promotes a more neutral pelvic position that takes pressure off the tailbone and lower spine. At 16" wide by 13" deep, it fits the seats of most cars without shifting. The removable cover is washable for easy hygiene maintenance, and a convenient carry handle makes it easy to move between vehicles or take along when traveling. Color: Navy.
How does a wedge cushion relieve coccyx pain?
A standard flat car seat places the full weight of the body directly on the coccyx and sitting bones (ischial tuberosities). A coccyx wedge cushion works in two ways: the wedge angle tilts the pelvis slightly forward, shifting weight off the tailbone and onto the thighs, and the firm foam distributes pressure more evenly across the seated surface. Together, these reduce the concentrated pressure on the coccyx that causes pain during prolonged sitting.
Will this fit in my car?
At 16" wide by 13" deep, this cushion is sized to fit the seats of most standard passenger cars, SUVs, and trucks. It is designed to sit on top of the existing car seat without shifting. If your vehicle has a very narrow or bucket-style seat, measure your seat width before purchasing to confirm fit.
Can I use this cushion in an office chair or wheelchair as well as a car?
Yes. While designed for car use, the dimensions and wedge design are compatible with most standard office chairs and wheelchairs. The carry handle makes it easy to move between the car, office, and home as needed.
How do I clean the cover?
The cover is removable — remove it from the foam cushion and machine wash according to the care label instructions. Allow to air dry fully before replacing on the foam. Do not wash the foam core itself — spot clean only if needed.
