Frequently Asked Questions
-
A foam ring cushion has an open centre that removes pressure from the tailbone, coccyx, and perineal area while you're seated. It's commonly recommended for tailbone (coccyx) pain, post-surgical recovery, hemorrhoid relief, pregnancy and post-natal comfort, prostate or pelvic discomfort, and anyone who finds prolonged sitting uncomfortable.
-
Yes — at 16" long × 12.75" wide × 2.75" tall, the Drive Foam Ring fits standard wheelchair seats, dining and office chairs, and most vehicle seats. Place it directly on the seating surface with the open centre positioned under the tailbone area.
-
The jacquard cover is removable via the zipper and can be machine-washed (follow the care label). The foam insert should be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth and air-dried. Allow everything to dry fully before reassembling.
-
The foam ring is purpose-built for targeted relief at the coccyx and tailbone. Gel/foam cushions like the Drive Gel "E" 2" or skin-protection options like the Drive Titanium are designed for broader pressure redistribution across the whole seat — a better fit for full-time wheelchair users at risk of pressure injuries. The foam ring complements those products rather than replacing them.
