- Many people with coccyx pain find that couches are terrible for sitting, because even with a cushion the cushion just sinks into the softness of the couch and your tailbone still ends up contacting the sitting surface.
- So, many people with tailbone pain will avoid couches or sofas.
- Some people with tailbone pain will use a firm-plastic-shell type of cushion, since even if it sinks down the shell maintains it’s shape including the indentation creating a gap space below the coccyx.
- Relaxobak and BackJoy are two manufacturers that make these “shell” types of seats.
Here is a VIDEO on why couches can be so painful for patients with coccyx pain (tailbone pain, coccydynia):
