Aylio Socket Seat Cushion for Sit Bone and Back Pressure Relief, Butt, Tailbone, Hip, Hamstring, Posture Support - Firm Memory Foam Comfort Ischial Tuberosity Pillow for Desk Chair or Car

Well, we started with two then bought two more. My lower back looks a bit like crepe paper, and my hip pain added to it has landed me with a cane. This thing is a amazing. My husband and I both have one for the seats in our respective cars, and I have one in his (the van's) passenger seat. I was at wit's end trying to push through the pain to avoid surgery. Who knows if I'll have to have surgery down the line, but for now these are helping us to avoid jumping off a cliff (kidding). We also love the fact that this is a smaller company with two caring and innovative people who deserve a shot. I hope you do. We don't regret it!

I am now able to sit comfortably without pain. The cutouts of this pillow match the pressure points of my hip relieving the discomfort of sitting in my favorite office chair. I also appreciate the material on the underside which prevents slipping on the chair. So glad I found this product!

Came the day after ordering. We find all of the touted items on the cushions are true. Very comfortable and they do relieve pressure on the back, are quality made, work in any chair and the car seat. They also help with posture and I would recommend the cushions to anyone who sits alot. There are less expensive ones, but I am happy that we paid a little more for the best that I have used.

My hubby frightened me when he discovered two rather large visible bruises; one on each side of my lower "tush". I had no pain, therefore no idea anything was amiss until he produced for me photo documentation of the bruising.After some research, I discovered an unusual new phenomenon that home health nurses were seeing in patients with limited activity and seated confinement. For lack of a proper clinical name, they nicknamed it "recliner butt". Astonishingly, the photos correlated well with my general disposition and situation. With a long history of chronic lower lumbar, sciatic pain, and diabetic neuropathy, I have been sleeping in my well worn recliner for over a decade... alternating with waking hours all too often spent seated at a keyboard and/or in front of a sewing machine. So, with onset of this strange new physical "malady", my search for a "good" seat cushion commenced.After months of trial and error with different cushions, fabrics, contents, etc , nothing seemed to address the strange bruising. It appeared that I was in need of a cushion that would comfort and cradle a particular area of my pelvis. (Apparently, the ischial tuberosity is a bone in your lower pelvis that absorbs weight when you sit. These are commonly referred to as “sit bones/seat bones” that can bruise and/or cause discomfort.) When I checked AMAZON for a cushion for this condition, I came across this strangely configured AYLIO SOCKET SEAT CUSHION with two smaller openings (to cradle the "sit bones"). There weren't many cushions offered in this configuration and/or size, so I bit the bullet on the high cost and bought it. To help substantiate the cost was the manufacturer's generous extended trial period and return policy for this product.The cushion arrived in good time, packed inside a nice sturdy box. It is well constructed; the top made of a strong "netted" design type vinyl material; the sides and bottom a more rigid "pleather" type fabric. Inside the removeable zippered cover is a nice quality memory foam. The front of the cushion has a slightly raised area for between the thighs; the rear has a cut out portion for relief on the tailbone. Although lacking a dedicated "skid resistant" bottom material on the cushion, I find minimal - if any movement at all on my chairs while in use. IMO, this is an overall nice quality product.I will say, it did take a day or two to adjust to the relative "firmness" of the cushion, but all seems well now. While utilizing it for sleeping in my recliner WAS NOT optimal (slept okay, but was aware of it's presence), I felt it might perhaps be a bit too small or firm for that purpose. It DOES however serve me well for hour upon hour of seated desk tasks (typing and sewing). After two weeks consistent use, my back seems LESS stiff and uncomfortable -AND- as I suspected, the bruising on each side of my tush has greatly diminished. Frankly, the only personal caveat I see with this product might be the overall width and depth of the cushion, which I feel could use an extra 1-2 inches to accommodate us "larger" framed folks. (Perhaps this would make the sides a bit more "forgiving" and thus, more comfortable for sleeping.)So, if you present with symptoms such as mine, I would say this unique cushion is worth a try. Although expensive, the manufacturer does offer an extended trial/return period. Of note: when I attempted to purchase a second cushion for dedicated use on our lower level furniture, I found that this particular "2 hole" configuration was no longer available, however the company did offer a slightly less costly cushion with one single hole in the center (although this one appears to be more suited for hemorrhoid relief). Perhaps with time I may be willing to give it a try, who knows?

High quality, very well designed, should last years, well worth the money if you have deep pain in the bones that hit the chair first when you sit down. Thick, well padded, works fantastic in car and office chair too. At least a couple inches thick so adjust your chair height & lumbar cushion accordingly. My orthopedic doctor specifically said "Get this! Now!". He was right, now I can sit comfortably and drive without continuous pain.

Ignore the too firm comment as it is firm where needed. The gaps are where your bones fit and it is a great product.Mashing down soft cushions until they are hard does not work. A friend recommended this to me after he purchase a new car and the new seat was very uncomfortable. He calls this his 40K seat! Works for him and me.

Sit Bone Protection: 5 starsQuality: 5 starsOverall Comfort: 2 stars. Comfort comes from where it does NOT touch you, not from where it does!Cost: 2 stars. Would be 5, if it actually had cushioning for the parts that make contact with your body.---------------------------------------------------------My spouse has been seriously ill, and has lost fat and muscle to where he has no built-in padding, ANYWHERE, anymore. Sitting in his home office chair has been especially painful for him. We've spent hundreds, and this is the first cushion that actually helped, thanks to the deep "sit bone" cutouts.Unfortunately, the term "cushion" is to be used lightly, as it is VERY - as in TOO - firm. For a hundred dollars, I will say this appears to be well-constructed and built to last. And it really is fantastic at eliminating sit bone pain. BUT, they neglected to add a layer of softness on top. I have MORE than ample padding on my rump, and *I* find it too firm to be comfortable.So while it absolutely eliminates his sit bone pain, which IS huge, he still actively UNCOMFORTABLE. This is crushingly disappointing, given all he's going through, especially for the premium price. You can buy a whole CHAIR for $100.I'm debating picking up an ugly "egg crate"-style wheelchair foam pad, and cutting holes over the corresponding "sit bone" cutouts in this cushion. It's both ridiculous and frustrating that I have to spend extra time and money, possibly in vain, to make a hundred dollar seat "cushion" ACTUALLY comfortable.I hope they revisit the design and can add a softer, top layer to it. In the meantime, it's at least preventing pressure sores and eliminating pain, even if it otherwise causes a measure of discomfort.
