    i ordered one of these myself last week, still waiting on the order to arrive so i can't comment but i thought it would be good for this winter as my normal cane just has a thin rubber stopper on it, thanks for posting the cushion, i have problems with my coccyx and that looks a decent thickness

    please could you tell me which cushion you are referring too? Do you mean the back rest? Does that help with your coccyx?

    yes if you read the full description it points out that you can sit on it to relieve stress on the coccyx. it's not as good as the special pillows that have the little notch cut out where the coccyx is but those are very expensive so i went with this one;)

    oh right ok thank you for that, i had to have my coccyx removed but have never found a cushion that will let me travel for more than a couple of hours :(
    i thought that it meant that it kept your spine straighter so that would help your back

    well if used in the upright position behind your back it looks like it would help as it's got a hump for the lumbar region... can't guarantee that but i suspect it would work. i bought a plain wedge from lidl awhile back and it works very nicely behind my back in the chair (sadly didn't do much for me under my bum!) i really like it when sitting on the sofa, it's leather so has a lot of give in it but if i put the wide part of the wedge at shoulder height and the slimmer end at my lower back i sit up very straight. i think lidl is doing them again next week ... ah yes here's the wedge i bought from them awhile back. not a bad price at £4.99.

    Can you please remove the code, as this board does not allow them, and it qould be a shame for the thread to be moved because of it.

    i don't see a problem with it a link is given to the code not the actual code, that's how it's normally done... or have i missed something?
