A ring cushion has an open centre, so nothing presses on the area in the middle when you sit down. That is the point of it – the weight is carried on the ring around the outside instead. It helps relieve the pain and discomfort associated with a sore tailbone and with sitting for long periods.
This one also has a dip at the back, where the coccyx would otherwise rest against the seat, so the tailbone is relieved as well as the centre.
Two separate features doing two jobs. The hole through the centre takes pressure off everything directly underneath. The dip at the back of the ring is the coccyx cut-out, which keeps the tailbone from carrying weight against a hard seat.
Polyurethane foam, firm enough to hold the ring shape under your weight rather than squashing closed, which is what would defeat the object.
A desk chair, a dining chair, a car seat on a long drive, or a wheelchair. There is a built-in handle, so it is easy to carry between them.
The velour cover unzips completely and is machine washable. Let it dry fully before putting it back on the foam. Do not wash the foam itself.
