Frequently Asked Questions on Wheelchair Cushion

How long do gel wheelchair cushions last?

Generally, gel cushions can last anywhere from two to five years. To ensure the longevity of your gel cushion, make sure to follow manufacturer guidelines for cleaning and maintenance and monitor the cushion for signs of wear and tear.

What type of cushion is best for tailbone pain?

A coccyx cushion can relieve tailbone pain symptoms for those sitting for extended periods of time. Your back posture can affect how your tailbone feels when you sit down. Sitting on this cushion will support your hips, thus increasing spine stability and reducing pressure on your tailbone.

Do gel cushions really work?

Yes, it really works. In fact, a good quality memory or gel foam cushion will also help prevent spine health problems, such as sciatica pain and herniated discs.

How should I sit with severe tailbone pain?

Do: sit correctly – maintain good posture with your lower back supported, use a specially designed coccyx cushion when sitting – sitting on an exercise ball can also help, lie on your side to reduce the pressure on your coccyx, try pelvic floor exercises (particularly important during pregnancy).
