It Is A Bone, Not A Foot
Your tailbone is the end of your spine. It has almost no padding over it, and it was never built to carry your body weight. Sit on a flat chair and that is exactly what you ask it to do, for eight hours.
So you shift. You lean on one hip, then the other, then you slide forward until your lower back takes over. By three o'clock you are not sitting, you are managing.
We took the material out from underneath. The cut-out at the rear means there is nothing there to press against, and your weight is carried on the sit bones either side instead, which is where your skeleton is actually built to take it.
The first ten minutes feel strange, because you are used to pressure that has suddenly gone.
What the research actually found
Develop real pain from sitting
In a controlled sitting study, 39% of healthy adults became “pain developers” inside a single prolonged session. It is not in your head and it is not weakness.
Less lower-back pain
When the trunk and pelvis were given extra contact support instead of being left unsupported, pain developers reported 47% less low back pain.
Australians
Live with a back problem — roughly one in six of us. If it feels like everyone at your office has a bad back, they do.
Cause of disability
Low back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide. Not a niche complaint, and not something that resolves on its own.

Five signs this is your problem
How it works
Cut-out to the rear
The U-shape sits under your tailbone. Nothing touches the bone.
Weight on the sit bones
The contoured sides take the load on the two bones your skeleton actually built for it.
Non-slip base
It stays where you put it instead of creeping forward every time you move.
Take the pressure off tonight
Office chair, ute, dining chair, flight. It goes where you sit.

We Bought The Cheap Ones First
The thin foam ones pancake by month two and then you are sitting on an extra layer of nothing. The inflatable rings take the pressure off and give you nowhere stable to sit.

This is the one that does not go flat
High-density foam is the boring specification that decides everything.

What people say after a month
Not day one. Month one, because that is when you can tell a novelty from a change.
Collapsible content
Will it fit my chair?
Will it fit my chair?
It sits on any flat seat, so office chairs, dining chairs, car seats and lounges are all fine. At 36 x 40 cm it suits most adult seat widths. Deep bucket seats are the only awkward case.
How long before I notice anything?
How long before I notice anything?
The first ten minutes feel odd because pressure you were used to is suddenly gone. Most people stop noticing the cushion by day two and notice the difference at five o'clock instead. If your pain is long-standing, give it a few weeks rather than a few days.
Will it flatten out like the last one?
Will it flatten out like the last one?
That comes down to foam density, which is the boring specification that decides everything. Cheap cushions use low-density foam that compresses permanently within weeks. This uses high-density foam that returns to shape.
Do I need the lumbar support as well?
Do I need the lumbar support as well?
Honestly, most people end up wanting both. This one takes the pressure off your tailbone, which is the part you feel. The lumbar support stops your pelvis rolling backward, which is the part that causes it. Bought together in the Orthopedic Seat + Lumbar Cushion Set they are A$129.99 rather than A$169.98.
Can I use it in the car?
Can I use it in the car?
Yes, and a lot of people buy it for that specifically. It sits on the base of the seat. Bucket seats with a deep dish are the one shape where it does not sit flat.
Can I wash the cover?
Can I wash the cover?
The cover unzips and goes in the machine on cold. Air dry it. The foam itself is spot-clean only.
Is this a medical device?
Is this a medical device?
No. It is a support cushion for comfort while sitting. It does not treat, diagnose or cure any condition, and results vary from person to person. If your pain is severe, radiating down a leg, or new and unexplained, see a physio or your GP rather than buying a cushion.
Who this isn't for
If your pain is severe, radiating down a leg, or new and unexplained, see a physio or your GP first. A cushion is not a diagnosis.
If your seat is a deep bucket — a sports car, some utes — it will not sit flat, and we would rather tell you now.
If the ache is in your lower back rather than the bone itself, the lumbar support is the piece you want, not this one.
