For seniors who spend long hours in a chair or wheelchair, the right cushion eases tailbone and lower-back pain and — importantly — helps prevent pressure sores. We compare memory-foam coccyx cushions with a tailbone cutout, donut cushions for post-surgery and hemorrhoid relief, cooling honeycomb gel cushions, and ventilated medical-grade wheelchair cushions designed for pressure-ulcer prevention. For anyone with an existing or high-risk pressure sore, a wound-care nurse or occupational therapist can recommend a clinical-grade alternating-pressure system.
