Description
The Drive Compressed Coccyx Cushion is a foam cushion for a dining chair, an office chair or a car seat, with a cut-out at the back so the tailbone sits over a gap. It measures 18 in wide by 14 in deep and stands 3 in thick.
Who it suits
- People who want the tailbone off the seat rather than on a flat surface, at a low price.
- Anyone who wants a cushion that travels: it arrives flat in its box.
- For a wheelchair seat, the right cushion is chosen in a seating assessment by an occupational therapist or physiotherapist. A gel cushion may be the better answer there.
Will it fit your chair?
- The cushion is 18 in wide by 14 in deep, so check your seat before ordering.
- It is 3 in thick, which raises you 3 in. Check that your feet still reach the floor.
- The cut-out belongs at the back, under the tailbone. The tilt runs from front to back, as the maker designed it.
Living with it
- The cover comes off and goes in the washing machine.
- Expect it to look flat out of the box: Drive says the foam expands to its full size once the packaging is opened. Give it time before judging the fit.
- The foam is a single firm block with a cut-out, not gel and not air, so there is nothing to pump or refill.

Frequently asked questions
Why does it arrive compressed?
Drive ships it flat in its box for travel and storage. The maker says the foam expands to its full size once the packaging is opened.
Which way round does the cut-out go?
At the back, under the tailbone. That is what takes the pressure off the coccyx while you are seated.
Can I wash the cover?
Yes. The cover is removable and machine washable.
What is the weight capacity?
Drive does not publish one for this cushion, so we do not state a figure. Ask us and we will check with the supplier.
