Alternating Pressure Coccyx Cushion and Pump System for Healing and Prevention of Sore on the Tailbone (Coccyx)
Developed by Purely Comfort LLC, our Alternating Pressure Tailbone (Coccyx) Cushion was created specifically for the prevention and treatment of stages I-IV bed sores on the coccyx and sacral areas. Sores on the tailbone otherwise known as the Coccyx are particularly difficult to treat and reoccur quite frequently.
For those who are less mobile or confined to a wheelchair, recurring coccyx or sacral wounds are a significant health concern. This is in part due to how thin the skin is over the tailbone, the inability to reposition and improper seating positions. The inability to reposition does not allow for pressure relief and makes the person prone to shearing injuries and frequent recurrence. Because of this, tailbone sores often advance quickly to late stage wounds. Prevention is key, treatment is essential.
The coccyx is the remnant of a human tail and while it does not serve the purpose of swatting flies, balance or hanging from trees, the coccyx/tailbone is an anchor point for essential tendons, ligaments and muscles. The tailbone also serves to stabilize the body while in a sitting position.
CUSHION AND COVER
Alternating pressure coccyx wheelchair cushion features a unique pressure relief zone in the coccyx area as well as four air bladders that alternate to provide superior comfort & pressure redistribution for the prevention and treatment of stages I-IV pressure ulcers. The cushion is covered in Vyvex-IV, a durable multi-stretch urethane material that is anti-microbial anti-bacterial, low shear and low friction. There is a non-skid bottom and adjustable straps to secure the cushion to the wheelchair. The cover is very soft to the touch yet extremely durable, stain resistant and fluid proof. The cover is easy to clean with a simple 8% bleach/water solution.
AC/DC PORTABLE PUMP
The portable AC/DC Pump allows your patient to be totally mobile. The cushion can be plugged in to any standard outlet or operated on its internal battery The rechargeable battery backup keeps this system working up to 6 hours per charge, based on the patient’s weight.

Customer Reviews
- Nurses said it would take 6 months, I am healed in less than 3 Review by Marty R. (Verified Purchase)

My tailbone wound is completely healed now. When I entered home health care on May 8th, the nurses predicted that my wound would take six months to heal. Just short of 11 weeks my incision and the pressure wound are healed and I’ve been discharged from home health care. I believe that your product has contributed greatly to my wellness and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

The cushion arrived this morning and it is wonderful. No pain in my tailbone area and easing of the pain in my left hip where the other cushion caused bruising. (Posted on 5/21/2021)Comfort Support Features Service - Helped heal my mother's sores Review by ThomasMc (Verified Purchase)

Called Sunday and spoke with Jeff. He answered all my questions. Mom has had sores on her tailbone that are not healing for a long time. We have tried every cushion and this is the only alternating air tailbone cushion. The cushion arrived overnight as promised. Very easy to set up. My mom is comfortable and for the first time, her sores are healing. (Posted on 5/20/2021)Comfort Support Features Service - Practically Cured Review by smurph - (Verified Purchase)

I was in pain from a coccyx injury and unable to move due to Parkinson’s. This cushion has kept me from developing pressure sores and allowed me to sit up. (Posted on 3/29/2019)Comfort Support Features Service - Relieved the coccyx pain Review by Judy J. RN (verified purchase)

It has been my pleasure to meet and work with Jeff Adise, President of Comforts Best.Comfort Support Features Service
I have Parkinson’s with a COMT gene variant that dictates if I have Parkinson’s I will have pain.
Jeff Adise has helped diminish a lot of the pain. I have a coccyx injury from a 1986 boating accident. There was no alternating pressure cushion for the coccyx until Jeff developed one. Since I don’t move, I end up pain in the sit down bones (ischael tuberosity). The cushion has stopped most of this pain as well as relieved the coccyx pain at the same time! This has given me a comfortable alternative to lying down.
Comforts Best is a company that has behind it a President with a heart to help people. Excellent customer service!
