Description
The Coccyx Relief Seat Cushion is a 16 x 12 x 3 inch foam cushion with a cutout at the back edge, so the tailbone hangs over the notch instead of bearing weight. It is sized as a car and chair cushion, bringing tailbone relief to the driver's seat and the desk.
- Rear Cutout – The notch at the back unloads the coccyx – the tailbone rests over space, not foam
- 3 Inch Foam Lift – Three inches of foam cushion and slightly raise the seat – comfort plus a better sitting height
- Car-Sized Format – 16 x 12 inches fits car seats and office chairs – relief that travels with the sitter
- Full Front Surface – Unlike a ring, the front stays solid – thigh support feels normal, with no donut edge under the legs
Tailbone Relief That Looks Like a Regular Cushion
Not everyone wants to carry a donut ring into the office or the car. This cushion takes the other route to the same result: a solid foam pad with a cutout at the rear, positioned so the coccyx sits over the notch and carries no load, while the rest of the seat feels like an ordinary cushion.
The dimensions are chosen for vehicle and desk use, 16 by 12 inches with 3 inches of foam. That thickness also raises the sitting height slightly, which drivers with stiff hips often appreciate on its own. The manufacturer notes this cushion is the same as EMS N1005 from the Essential Medical Supply line.

Why a Cutout Cushion Suits Daily Life Better Than a Ring
The donut ring works, but it announces itself. A cutout cushion hides in plain sight on a car seat or office chair, delivers the same tailbone unloading, and keeps full support under the thighs for driving and working.
- Discreet Relief – Looks like a seat pad, works like a medical cushion – usable in public without explanation
- Stable Sitting – A solid base under the thighs – no ring edge rolling during turns in the car
- Travels With the Sitter – Car, desk, and dining chair – one cushion covers the seats a day actually uses
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the cutout help the tailbone?
The notch at the back of the cushion sits under the coccyx, so the tailbone hangs over empty space. Body weight is carried by the thighs and hips instead.
What are the dimensions?
The cushion measures 16 x 12 x 3 inches. It is sized for car seats and standard chairs.
Is this the same as the Essential Medical Supply cushion?
The manufacturer notes this cushion is the same as EMS N1005. Alex Orthopedic acquired the Essential Medical Supply line, and the product continues under Alex.
How is this different from a donut cushion?
A donut has a hole in the center, while this cushion is solid with a notch at the back. Both unload the tailbone, and the cutout style keeps full support under the thighs.
Will it fit a car seat?
Yes, the 16 x 12 inch format is made for car seats as well as chairs. It adds about 3 inches of sitting height.
