Orthopaedic Seat & Posture Cushions

Find Relief with Orthopaedic Seat Posture Cushions

With one of the many reasonably priced special cushions on eBay, you could help end discomfort. These products make it possible to not sit in pain or discomfort anymore. There are many types of cushions available to suit your needs.

It is very natural to slouch when you are tired, and most chairs you sit in all day do not remind you that your posture might be poor. Seat cushions are also loads less expensive than a new ergonomic chair. These little cushions gently remind you to correct your posture as you sit down.

There is a seat cushion to meet just about every need:

• Seat cushion: These come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are usually made out of memory foam or gel-filled pockets. They allow your body to sit naturally by forming their own seats rather than conforming to whatever chair you are sitting in. This takes the pressure off your lower back. Many people use these as orthopaedic car seat cushions. The popular JML egg sitter falls into this category.
• Back cushion: These are larger and sometimes have a seat cushion built in. They are really meant to form to your back so that you can find the ultimate ergonomic position by even distribution of your weight.
• Inflatable cushion: These are similar to a seat cushion and the doughnut cushion, but you can uninflate them so it is easy to take them on the go.
• Lumbar roll: These are literally small rolls that fit against lumbar of your back so that you are less inclined to slouch.
• Wedge cushion: These cushions make your knees slightly higher than your hips, which allows you better spinal control. That's because you will not be leaning forward.
• Doughnut cushion: While inflatable cushions are also often shaped this way, this is the best type of cushion for piles sufferers. If you are a piles sufferer, then you should also use a doughnut cushion as an orthopaedic cushion for your car seats to make longer trips comfortable.

When you are purchasing a used orthopaedic seat cushion you will want to check how frequently it was used. You also want to see if either the cover of the cushion or the cushion itself is washable. If you are purchasing an inflatable cushion, then you will want to make sure there are no punctures.
