Relief for Boomers and Seniors Who Sit a Great Deal.
As we age our muscle mass changes (unless you exercise all the time) and parts of us, like our ‘rear end’, does not have the padding that it use to.
Of course it is better not to sit for prolonged periods of time, but if you sit for work, or because of certain medical conditions, it is helpful to use something that will reduce lower back discomfort.
Here are some products for helping ease the pressure when sitting.
All Day Portable Gel Seat
This gel seat cushion relieves point-of-contact pressure and helps reduce lower back pain inherent in long periods of sitting in a car or office chair.
The cushion is filled with a soft visco-elastic gel and supportive memory foam that disperse your weight to alleviate pressure points. The surface has a subtle 5º slope that promotes proper pelvic posture, encouraging correct lumbar curvature. A depression in the center of the cushion eliminates contact pressure on the tailbone and soft tissue, and 10 small perforations provide ventilation.
The cushion folds in half and has an integrated handle to enable simple transport.

Truck Driver’s Pressure Relieving Cushion
This is the seat cushion used by truck drivers to relieve point-of-contact pressure and reduce lower back discomfort inherent in long periods of sitting.
Unlike foam or springs that apply counter pressure, the medical-grade elastic gel interior has a patented honeycomb shape that distributes weight evenly to adjacent columns, eliminating pressure points and providing support.
The cushion fits in most chairs and its 2″-thick gel interior creates the sensation of sitting on air as it conforms to the unique shape of your body, mitigating impact on joints and muscles no matter where you sit on the surface.
The durable elastic gel won’t develop permanent depressions and it immediately reclaims its original form when you get up.

Pain Relieving Coccyx Cushion
This is the gel seat cushion that reduces pressure on the coccyx to help relieve tailbone pain.
The large cushion is filled with comfortable medical-grade gel and incorporates a hollow pocket that elevates the coccyx to prevent contact with the bone.
Weight is redistributed throughout the posterior, and the body is canted slightly forward to eliminate the ache caused by sitting for long periods.
Unlike lesser foam cushions, the shock-absorbent gel will not flatten over time, and adjustable straps secure the cushion in the user’s preferred position so it does not slip each time one gets up or sits down.

Portable Gel Seat
Unlike bulky seat cushions that are heavy or difficult to carry, this compact gel-filled cushion weighs only 2 1/2 lbs, folds in half, and is easily portable due to its integrated handle.
The soft, pliant gel- and supportive foam-filled pads disperse weight across the width of the cushion, relieving point-of-contact pressure inherent in long periods of sitting (at a desk, behind the wheel of a car, in bleachers while viewing a sporting event, and more), helping to prevent or lessen back strain and blood vessel and capillary constriction.
For additional comfort, the center groove eliminates contact pressure on the tailbone and soft tissue.
