November 16, 2018


Don’t get this part I’m about to share with you TWISTED okay?

I might be sitting snug in my couch at the moment, but I’m also about a foot deep in!

If my buttocks could talk, they would be yelling in a cry for some serious help(SERIOUSLY).

Seat cushions and Back Pain are a Match Made in Heaven or…I won’t say the opposite of that.

Many people like myself are buried with the same face cringing and eye rolling quench…

If at any point in this article, you find that you have a concern, or if you want to leave me a question, please leave me a comment down below. I’ll make sure to get back to you before you know it.

Now, to the fun stuff we go!

How A Seat Cushion Saved My Life

I know you don’t care about me and I want to make this as little as possible about me as I can, but I have to tell you how a seat cushion came about to save my life…please bare with me, I promise it will apply to you.

For those who already know me, this will already sound familiar, but if you’re someone who I haven’t yet talked to or met with, I want to share with you something special.

This is me:

Yeah That’s the 20 year old version of me in College as a Divsion 1 soccer athlete. I’m 26 right now, and in 6 years so much has changed…

At that time all I wanted to do was play soccer and get in and out of the classroom(like any other freshman would). And so I was at the pinnacle of my career until I hit a HUGE Low.

During a soccer game, I went up in the air for a 50/50 challenge, and on my way back down with gravity, I squashed on my back…

Oh Boy, It Hurt. No, I didn’t break my back but I severely injured it, I just didn’t know it. So I was sidelined, and taken into the physical therapist trainer of the team. I knew I felt something, but I just didn’t have the proper diagnosis.

So what did I do? I went on with my business right, Ice and Heat, Have some ibuprofen, it’ll all clear up by the next day. I honestly couldn’t sit the rest of that night. 4 more painkillers sitting deep, I almost knocked out from how drowsy I was.

The next day, I went about my business not understanding why I couldn’t walk, let alone sit and stand. I had classes to get to so you know the stubborn young me I was at the time.

I went another day of pain, until 2 days after I got checked and I had a Herniated Disc. The time prior to that I was already dealing with a degenerating disc with some joint pains, and now to this.

I had many acute flare ups but this was no joke. So I shifted from Ibuprofen to Opioids. Literally for months this was my medication and lifestyle. A day felt like a year, a year felt like lightyears….that’s how I thought about getting better. But it changed when I was open to the idea of proper ergonomics…

Listen, I know how that sounds…what about a diet, exercise, natural remedies, stronger thinking?

Those are all an integration in my life, but the spark was really ergonomics. If I was not able to perform a certain stretch or yoga pose, guess what was there?

You guessed it, a Seat Cushion! You see, the mindset I had at the time was to feel better I knew I needed Physical therapy(which was going somewhat well), I needed to stretch/yoga/exercise outside of that at home on my own time, my nutrition was getting better once again, and my mentality which was always strong, got even stronger.

The Key is to have a strong mentality, and a stronger mentality will set you free, and help you get to yout healing goals much MUCH faster, I promise you. This mixed with a Proper seat cushion changed the way I:

  • Exercised more
  • Stretched for longer periods of times
  • Did more yoga comfortably
  • Had a stronger posture
  • I wanted to eat more
  • Be more productive
  • and so much more

After this discovery and achievement I was feeling great, but it didn’t end there. I still had a terrible muscle imbalance, and my hips and posture was still suffering because of it. But I didn’t know quite why, until it hit me…

I was using a deflated beaten up cotton material cushion. There was no point in sitting down because it was the equivalent of just standing. So I did my research right, and I found out about a memory foam seat cushion, and you know the rest was history.

I didn’t massage, I didn’t use a foam roller, I couldn’t use a knot release ball, or anything other conventional methods at the time because:

  1. My back hurt
  2. I needed to fix my posture.

It was the seat cushion, in all honesty that made me see things differently…who would have thought??

It changed the way I played soccer again, treated my body, let the painkillers go and transitioned into more herbal treatments, I had a new lease on life with what I wanted to do from that point forward which was continue an education in helping people with back pain….Hence what’s made me an expert in my field.

The challenge for me was always my hips which hurt my back when I didn’t have a specific spinal pain. So its your hips that cause most of the problem. While you are sitting, your hips can still be weak if you don’t exercise them out.

What Are Seat Cushions? Why You Really Shouldn’t Overlook Them

Seat Cushions for lower back pain, knee pain, sciatica, or whatever reason are all great ways to answer “what” they are good for, but let’s dig even deeper to the core of what they are and why you need them.

Do you want to increase your appearance of feeling smarter along with:

  • Getting your Power Back
  • Your Strength
  • Increase your wealth
  • Your Happiness
  • Your Physical Appearance
  • and your Style?

Then listen up, because I’m only going to say this once…

The RIGHT Seat cushions will offer you all of that without any type of overhead cost.

For the majority of us, sitting is. was, will always be a way of leisure, a definitive way to relax and disjoint all of our stress and problems, but for other it can be a real “sit tight”, painful and uncomfortable experience.

Many people will not think about how much sitting plays a HUGE role in their day-to-day activities, but between you and me:

  • sitting at your desk
  • sitting in your car
  • sitting out at a restaurant table

… Being able to sit is expected, and standing is not always the option.

A seat cushion is exactly what you’re thinking, and in my own words this is how I’d state it: A soft, furry bag of a specific material, stuffed with fibers, memory-foam, feathers, or some form of other material. 

Now, the immediate solution to the problem would be to get another chair, and go for a more ergonomic friendlier version. But that problem will still persist if you have to:

  • drive down the road, and you need the extra cushioned support to get you through your drive.
  • travel, and the particular seats you have to sit on are not comfortable and for your size.

…Or a larger problem is that you wouldn’t want to change your chair is because its too costly!

Check out how to reduce your back pain with a seat cushion in this video:

I couldn’t tell you the last time I’ve roamed the aisles of my local supermarkets like Walmart, or target, and have come close to ending up looking at cushions, let alone shop for one. While they are not rare to find, it’s the fact that we are less aware of careful seating techniques.

Not to come off weary, but wouldn’t you rather have added comfort support then to have enough or none at all? You can’t go wrong with extra booty support 🙂 excuse me. But seat cushions are more then the double cheeks number one fan…it helps your lower back(lumbar spine)

That’s right! The right seat cushion will not only smooth out your buttocks, it will lighten and relax your spine and tailbone; allowing it to straighten out.

If you have bad posture, I have some great news for you. I CAN assure you are in great hands. This might sound familiar when you’re sitting:

You go to take your seat, and almost immediately you’re back is saying its hello to the back rest. After a short time, that will cause slouching, and shifting your pelvis from left to right or right to left. But guess who else gets it? Your hamstrings. Your muscles and ligaments become weaker because of it.

Versatility That Is AMAZING, Meet All Your Needs

You don’t know how much I get this all the time: “When can I use a seat cushion”? I basically hit back with my favorite statement: “ANYWHERE”.

I’m used to getting a blank face turn into a cringed skeptical one. But quite in fact that’s the honest truth. If you wanted to use one around your home, take it in the car, sit on one at work, go traveling, you can effectively accomplish all these tasks.

One of the major reasons for lower back pain complaints is due to poor posture. There are many downfalls to hurting you lower back and some of those are:

  • Less exercise
  • Bad eating
  • Poor stretching
  • Excess weight

If you’re on this end of the topping scale, doing the same thing by sitting on a hard, or sinking surface will just make the pain worse.

But if you happen to be sitting for hours on end and one jerk to the sky contributes to your pain, then it could be time for extra padding.

One great thing I’ve come across from using seat cushion are that they come in many forms- Shapes,sizes, and material.

You will see everything from a flat square, to a “U” shape, and from memory foam to gel infused memory foam.

Foam Seat Cushions:

A flatter designed shaped seat cushion will be composed of just basic foam. It’s an affordable way for beginners to try to test these devices out for themselves, as they are the least expensive option.

They will come ion different options such as either a single layer foam or a dual-layered and well contoured foam cushion which will offer you more buttock support.

This type of cushion will relive your aches and pains, while allowing you to sit for long period. They make a great travel companion, and are a great addition for those who want more then one cushion to leave at work, home, or in their car.

Cons:

  • Most need extra layered support. Let’s say you’re sitting on a flat surface with no padding. Then you place your foam seat cushion on top and sit down; you’ll still feel uncomfortable . What I would suggest if it is not a dual layered cushion, is to place it over a cushioned area like a couch, office chair, or a car seat.
  • Their flat design doesn’t support your coccyx. If your tailbone is in pain, these foam cushions will not do a good job at supporting and taking pressure off it.
  • Don’t relive severe lower back pain like chronic and sciatica pain, very well.

Memory Foam Seat Cushions:

Now we’re getting somewhere! This type is the most popular material used for seat cushion today, and moving forward into the future. Thanks to the advancement in properties of memory foam, you can find comfort in any that you choose.

These cushions have a polyurethane foam that has the ability to work with your body;s core temperature, and it doesn’t matter if you are in the cold, or heat, the cushion will contain its warm heat. Although they are a little more on the expensive end, they are going to last you longer, due to its durability material.

The thickness is nearly perfect! Memory foam has a thickness that is firm, and when you sit on it, you’ll immediately feel your natural shape contour to it. What I like the most is that they provide you with exceptional coccyx(tailbone) support and for your lumbar spine without it feeling heavy. You’ll be blown away at how lightweight these cushions are.

I have one right now, and I’ll be sharing that later on.

Gel Seat Cushions:

First came the Memory Foam, and then arrived the gel. Another highly popular material for orthopedic seat cushions is the gel infused approach. These cushions are made from a gel pack, usually with a pillowcase as an outside cover.

The gel will allow you to sit comfortably on tip of it, and it works extremely well on your body’s pressure points to provide you ultimate relief. What they do so well is allow you to distribute your weight evenly, so they are ideal for people with circulation issues and will provide you with extra comfort from sitting too long. These are usually more on the expensive end, and a large part of it is because how fragile they are, and the gel offers a heavier weight, and are prone to break.

Coccyx Seat Cushions:

A coccyx seat cushion is the most common type of seat cushion you will come across, with a focus on relieving all the pressure built up in your tailbone. These come in a U Shaped form, and it allows your tailbone to be free from the seat. What they do so well is remove pressure from your spine, allowing your pelvis to be slightly pushed forward so your entire spine gets a chance to relax.

Lumbar Seat Cushions:

Some seat cushions out there will come with both a coccyx seat cushion and one for your lumbar spine, which provides you with additional support to your back from all angles. You’ll add cushion to your back, while allowing your bum to get pressure relief at the same time!

Are they for you?

Whether you are the kind of person who doesn’t enjoy sitting for a long time, or someone who can’t wait to take their seat, you can still benefit from using an orthopedic seat cushion.

From my own experience, I’ve learned that many people use them for various needs. You have people from wheelchair users, frequent travelers, the office workers, seniors, post surgery patients, pregnant woman, gamers, and drivers.

A bottom Lumbar seat cushion is great for you when your glute muscles weaken and you can no longer stand up or even sit down at the very least…

What happens is that your gluteus minimus and the muscles shrink so that they curve inward and cause your hip muscles to push out and get even more out of alignment.

How Can you get the most out of it?

It’s best to use a seat cushion with proper back support. Which means, you should use them with a chair or seat that has proper back cushioning to keep your back as straight as possible. If you’re backrest on your chair is in decent shape, combining it with a lumbar back support will give you the best reward.

I have found that applying heat and ice under my seat cushion while using it will alleviate aches and pains more then just the cushion alone.

How to Clean:

Most seat cushions come with a cover, so the best way to clean is to place them in the washing machine. Don’t place your cushion in their, as this will destroy it.

The settings might vary from cushion to cushion but with mine, I was on a cold gently cycle. I avoid tumble drying these yours as they can either shrink or tear. Once they complete their wash, place them in a dry place, not in front of sunlight.

Which One Is Best For You? The Mouthwatering Punch

I like each and every style, and I’ve trialed and tested them all. If I had weaker pain, something as simple as the foam cushion would work, but for more constant aches and pains, It’s a great idea to upgrade to memory foam. Memory foam is the right way to get rid of your:

  • lower back pain
  • sciatica
  • coccyx pain
  • leg pain
  • thigh pain
  • pelvic pain

A Gel memory foam will do all a memory foam does with the addition of promoting better blood circulation. So if you have blood thinning, and trouble with getting proper circulation, go with this one.

Let me share with you how I use a seat cushion right now.

I’m not sure if you’ve read my article on how you go about treating your lower back at home, but I talk about how to reduce the stress on your spine, and in a turn around not only alleviate your pain, but fix your and restore your muscle balance. You can learn more by clicking here.

It’s time for me to reach for my seat cushion, now that I’m on the matter. Here it is, as I speak:

This one above is called the Everlasting comfort Seat Cushion which you will hear about in just a couple minutes.

Watching T V and working has taken on a whole new meaning! Just yesterday, I sat for what was hours on end without fidgeting, or standing in pain. There was not one feint of muscle spasms, or a sign of my hunch back of Notre Dame look.

What my seat cushion was able to do for me that my couch couldn’t, was let me sit straight, and in a 90 degree angle from top to bottom. To have good posture you need:

  • your pelvis aligned
  • your muscles strong
  • your lumbar spine straight
  • your head straight and in line with your shoulders

Put a check mark next to all those. One of the most satisfying elements is having a plan for driving and traveling in your vehicle, or a vehicle piloted by someone else. Car sets don’t have the greatest padding or material for your bum, and your spine. You can push your seat in closer, but that will only work for a short time.

With my own seat cushion, I get the luxury of relieving my lower back and at the same time traveling like a healthier man. You can check out how I make great use of my seat cushion at home by clicking here.

Benefits Of Using The Best Seat Cushions

Now that we’ve gone over the 5 best seat cushions ever, lets cover the common benefits of using these cushions in your every day life. There are many places that a seat cushion can help out in, and here they are:

  1. Sciatica. The term “Sciatica” refers to a numbness or tingling sensation in you leg. You will then get symptoms of numbness in your buttocks, this is commonly your lower back to blame for. Sitting forward with a pinched nerve can really do serious damage to your body and your cognitive behavior.
  2. No thanks to your bad posture, it will cause continuous pain to radiate down to one side of your leg and back up sending pain signals to your brain. If you feel like your chair, sofa, recliner, driving chair, is not giving you the support you need, and occupational therapist will suggest the use of a seat cushion
  3. Hip Pain.  Pain in the hips is common with a bad back, and awkward sitting posture. Most of the time your hips will swing forward in an anterior pelvic tilt position as its known, and this will cause your back to hunch forward while pushing your legs far out. This causes more of a muscle imbalanced and a possible pinched nerve in your sacroiliac joint(the pelvis)
  4. Pregnancy. It’s better to be safe than sorry for a pregnant women. Even if they do not have sciatica or lower back pain, choosing a comfortable and well supported tough cushion can help protect the child in the womb.
  5. Meditation. That’s right, you can use a “U” shaped cushion for meditation and it will be able to support everything from your tailbone up. It can get uncomfortable to sit on the floor or on a yoga mat, but a seat cushion will let you relax for hours!

The one tip I’d give you about seat cushions for back pain is that having more than one is really use-full because you can take one on the go, and have the other sitting at home or elsewhere…

and you can already have it setup in a location so you don’t have to mess around with organizing, in the cause of hurting your back.

Re-cap and Final Thoughts

Sitting with a bad back is like whipping out a pack of cigarettes before you’ve even smoked just one…It can turn out bad.

But sitting is instrumental and way more fundamental for your back when you do it right.

I think we all want our bottoms to feel like royalty, at least I sure do. It’s important that you take preventive measure to decrease and completely remove your back pain a more natural way, and a seat cushion is the top preferred method to go. Why?

Sitting properly is the difference between taking another pill, or not being able to perform the next exercise, or even getting slightly too comfortable to the point where your habits will take too much work to change.

With proper sitting, you can straighten your spine, keep your muscles from legs to your upper body in check and balanced, and you’ll seriously save yourself time in using conservative treatment after the next one. Take it from me…

I love seat cushions, and they are my go to fix. Think about it, you spend nearly half your life sitting(just like you would sleeping), so giving not only your buttocks but whole back relief and comfort is sensational!

I can’t think of a time anymore where I had to struggle traveling, working, or sitting in front of my desktop monitor at home, it’s been a pleasant experience. You can check out my how to travel with your back pain article right here.

As this article stated. These will be the seat cushion with back pain, and although there are many ways to get pressure relief and some comfort with seat cushions, it’s always better to go for quality over quantity.

The reason for this is that many of the seat cushions with a U shaped design and are made of memory foam are and will always be the best.

And although there are many others out there not covered here, I did show you what will be the best whether you have acute or severe chronic back pain. So when are you going tom take your seating game to the next level when you’re busy at home, work or you just want to travel for fun?

  • This is a great article! My partner suffers from chronic back aches; and he can’t seat for long in our home office chair without the aid of rolled up blankets and cushions. The aches get so back that sometimes, he has to lie on the floor.

    I’ve been thinking of getting a purpose-fit cushion but had no idea of how to go about identifying what he needs. Your article has shortened my research by a day! I think, what he needs is the gel memory one. Is that easy to maintain?

    Thanks for the great information!

    • Hi Cath,

      Chronic lower back pain is a real bug! It’s like even getting an ergonomic chair or putting a blanket and other forms of cushions like you mentioned still don’t help out enough. In fact, they can actually make the pain worse, did you know that? The scientific reason has to do with gravity. When you sit, your weight is being lowered and even distributed among the surface, but when the seat or tool you use doesn’t have right weight support, it can cause one side of your body to lean, and that will actually lead to worse pain, and even more of a muscle imbalance. I’ve been in the same shoes. I remember having to lay down on the ground because my office chair had terrible cushioning and it didn’t help that the back support had no padding for comfort.

      The gel cushions are super easy to maintain, so much so that they offer more of a superior foam than non gel ones. And the velour cover makes it easy to pop in the washing machine and reuse over and over again for many years. I’ve tried both of the ones in this article, and both are equally amazing. Please let me know if I can be of further help. Thank you!
