Orthopedic Donut Seat Cushion - Standard, 16 x 13 Inch, Memory Foam Gel Office Chair Cushion for Hemorrhoid, Tailbone, Butt, Coccyx Relief - Support Pillow for Office, Car, Home and Wheelchair

This pillow wedge has been perfect for my needs. It is used for the car seat. I've tried other car seat pillow wedges and they have tended to sag. This one, however, is very firm, and I feel much more comfortable when driving the car. I almost traded the car in until I started using this pillow. Highly recommend it for shorter people whose car headrest is way too high.

Good construction, amply sized, and provides a comfortable level of support. Instantly alleviated a good portion of low back pain owing to slumped posture, (hip/pelvis tilt) that, despite being physically fit, can result from hours of sitting in desk chair. To suit the slightly downward-tipping seat, (this particular desk chair seat is deep and angles downward towards the back of the chair like some car seats), I place the wedge further forward; the narrow end of the wedge meets the front edge of the chair seat; the very opposite, thickest end of the wedge is directly under tailbone. The tailbone placement is what matters, (for me). With the thicker end of the wedge directly under tailbone, the tilt is subtle. Tending to think that a higher-raked wedge or one with more stiffness, could possibly exceed the needed adjustment and cause other off-set issues. The next level of support would be padding for lumbar and thoracic which attaches to the seat back, which I believe this company also makes. Then the rest of the spine can remain straight and supported as well. Thanks very much!!

I purchased a Bonmedico Orthopedic pillow for a family member. He drives a lot of miles every week and recently had a flare up of painful hemorrhoids. I shopped a lot of cushions/pillows and read way too many customer reviews. Finally, this pillow seemed to be the right one. I bought a size large (6'2," 170 pounds) and it fits. When the pillow arrived, I inspected it and was impressed. The memory foam/gel is overall very firm and comfortable. It provides a lot of support and that feels good. The forward and backward cutouts in the pillow apparently cause a distribution of weight that depressurizes the tailbone. My family member used it 2-4 hours p/day, five days a week for couple of weeks. Yesterday he informed me that the pillow gave him immediate relief and he had rapid improvement of his condition. His pain has almost completely subsided and his hemorrhoids are nearly healed. This pillow was an inexpensive and great investment. I am pleased that something so small made a huge difference in his life.

It was delivered quickly and customer service was quick to respond to my inquiry regarding whether my particular body type/ frame was better suited for the standard vs. large size as there is no guidance in the main description. Despite the rep suggesting to stick with the standard size based on the stats I gave, I had already ordered a large and it works like a charm. For reference, I’m 6’3” and 188 lbs but more of a medium body frame with a very male/android pelvis. No wide set hips for me!It does perform what it claims to do (i.e. relieve pressure off the inflamed, tender area), but I’m unsure just how ergonomic donut pillows are in general... I mean, it almost seems counterintuitive that you want to increase blood flow to the area since this exact mechanism in the setting of increased venous pressure created the hemorrhoid to begin with, but I digress.The cushion is comfy—it beats sitting directly on the inflamed tissue aggravating the issue—and I like the black mesh pillow cover as it allows continuous air circulation or at least never gets hot and sticky down there because the fabric can’t breathe. Added bonus: there’s a small handle embroidered into the mesh cover fabric making it super simple to carry on person AND it came with an external pillow bag with handles, albeit flimsy and easily torn to shreds, which holds the entire pillow, too! Perhaps I overlooked these features in the product description, but these minor details surprised me in a good way!Honestly, with the fabric handle built in the black mesh cover itself, I’m more inclined to use the additional carrying bag to tote around an actual pillow like one that’s used for sleep while supporting my head and neck. Ha! And if that wasn’t enough, the seller is sending yet ANOTHER gift just as a thank you for purchasing this fantastic Bonmedico product!

I have purchased three of these pillows (one for different chairs in different locations). As a product, the donut pillows have worked great for me and my nether regions (with out getting graphic). So on that front, I rate it a five star.However, while I'm staying in a remote location, I thought I'd pick up the third pillow to use there. When I got it, I discovered that it had already been previously opened and obviously returned. As such, I was shipped someone else's return, and that irritates me to no end.
