Sitting is meant to offer the body relief and a way to rest. However, many people who have suffered an injury or have developed back pain over the years, find that sitting can increase pressure on affected areas and cause more pain than comfort. The key to making sitting enjoyable again is to relieve pressure in the correct places. Sleepavo’s cooling memory foam seat cushion features a U-shaped design and a contoured surface. At the rear of the cushion there is a small cut out, which leaves the coccyx, more commonly known as the tailbone, hovering over the sitting surface. This, in turn, eliminates any pressure from the surrounding areas. Layered over the memory foam is a padded sheet of cooling gel. This added feature helps keep users cool throughout the day and adds an extra layer of comfort and cushion. The well-ventilated, mesh cover allows proper airflow so that users can benefit from this cooling feature all day. This pillow is commonly used by people who are experiencing: Back pain due to an injury, herniated or bulging disc A broken or fractured tailbone, or pain from coccydynia Pain due from pregnancy or from post-partum complications Pain, numbness or discomfort after sitting for long periods of time Sciatica in the legs, lower back or hips Where it can be used: On commutes: Cars, buses, airplanes At the office: In desk chairs or uncomfortable office seats that need extra padding In wheelchairs or mobility scooters Every gel seat pad comes with a full three-year warranty that protects against any damage or defects.
