Contour Kabooti Donut Seat Cushion, 3-in-1 Design with Center Cutout for Tailbone Pain, Sciatica and Hemorrhoids

It works

Durable product....and washable

Terrific support for those with lower back difficulties. I tried this at the recommendation of one of my physical therapists and was not disappointed. I had some unexpected hip and sacral pain and the cushion had the right openings and spacing between cushion to facilitate my exercises and comfort.

I ordered this Kabooti cushion after I tried one briefly that a friend had at our meditation group. But once I was able to use it for a longer period of time I realized it's much too stiff for my needs. It ended up exaggerating the pain in my lower back rather than relieving it.For what it's worth, I also tried the Sit Cushion (with the curved backing) but had a similar problem with that one. I ended up settling on the Everlasting Comfort model. It's more of a cushy memory foam style but still has the cut out for the tailbone and that seems to have worked best for me.

Too hard, not comfortable. Great seller, though.

I use a recumbent bicycle to help manage low back pain. Unfortunately, all the gyms in my area have bikes that aggravate my hemorrhoids, so I'd had to quit using the bike. A regular pillow or cushion didn't help, as they didn't negate the center ridge that all seats have. The Kabooti has allowed me to resume using a recumbent bike. (It obviously wouldn't work with a regular bike because of the narrow seat. Seats on recumbent bikes are wide enough to support the entire cushion.) I'd also noticed before that my feet were often numb when I finished a bike session; this problem appears to have gone away with the Kabooti. I don't know if that's because of taking the pressure off my tailbone, or because of the slanted seat front taking pressure off my thighs.There is a small mechanical difference when using the Kabooti in this way. The seat being higher requires me to adjust the seat position a little backwards to avoid my knees hitting the console, but that hasn't been a problem for me.I originally purchased the XL Kabooti with an extended seat. I'm overweight (5'11", 275 pounds), so I thought I'd need a wide seat -- not so. I returned the XL, and replaced it with the regular Kabooti, which fits just fine.The Kabooti also works just fine in a chair. :)Some people have complained about the hardness of the cushion. It is firm, but not uncomfortable for me. The indentation, though, seems a little narrow (it's the same width on both cushion sizes). If I don't sit exactly in the center of the cushion, and miss the indentation, then it is hard for the problem area I have.
