I've tried them all and this one is, hands down, the best.

Standard ROHO Airplane Seat Cushion

A little more expensive, but well worth it and the only one that really gets rid of the pain pins in my rump. Also, it deflates and rolls up to fit in my carry on.

Hi I am new here but this conversation has personal ring:

Few years ago I suffered severe lower tail agitation due to long air flight. Problem continued to become worse and mine I think has become chronic.

However, there is a preventative solution that I wish I knew about that I use always now when I travel (and in my case even when I sit on office chair where I know I will be for few hours ).

In elderly health stores you can find these square pillow with a /\ cut in the back. This prevents the tailbone from getting agitated during long flights.

Thing to remember is that one is totally fine when awake but when body slouches during sleep, lower back and tail bone are vulnerable.

So sitting on the /\ cut pillow during long flights really helps.

I have bought a number of these. My favorite is the Magellan self inflating cushion. It has a "U" shape which makes it very comfortable on all seats. It is not uncommon, as we get older, to have problems sitting for long periods. It is sometimes a symptom of arthritis, which I have.

I've used the thermarest camprest. With the First Class sleeper product I found it was essential, as well as a footrest. I have never slept so well on a plane in Y except on the trip I did with those 3 items.

recently I'm also using an old Built laptop cover that the zip broke on, and stuffing it with clothes to use as a cushion. The Built is made of neoprene and this means the pillow has a surface that does not slide around and is soft and comfortable.

This one has performed well for me on 14+ hour flights. Before I found this my tailbone would get really sore from an old skiing injury ^.

I have been using this REI Sit Pad for a couple of years.

It deflates and rolls up to water bottle size. I even use it on 3-4 hour domestic flights and won't travel without it. REI has a 1 year no-questions-asked refund policy and a lifetime warranty for defects on their products.

I've also started using it for long car trips and even for....hiking/camping - its intended use!

REI used to have a comfy air seat cushion for 15-20$ or so. Try it out.

I ordered this cushion. After I try it out, I'll post my thoughts.

I previously traveled a lot. One flight I dreaded getting through was Chicago to Hong Kong (15 hours). Usually at the 10 hour mark, I would look at my watch and think... Oh no, I still have 5 hours to do! :-(

It would have been nice to have a great pad.

Awesome! Similarly, I broke my coccyx in a plane crash about 25 years ago. The cushions I have tried were the "horseshoe" types that still put pressure on the tailbone.

I'll make the room in my personal item for one of these.

I have an inflatable seat cushion for my kayak. I routinely go 8 hours at a time in it and am very comfortable. Never brought it on a plane with me.

This thread resurrection is timely. I've managed to injure my tailbone and have a lot of travel coming up. I've got a memory foam coccyx cushion for my desk chair, but I think it's going to be too wide for use on a plane. I just ordered the Therm-a-rest travel cushion and also a Travelon inflatable cushion...will have to see which works best.

Ordered one of those Therm-a-rests for my next flight to Japan. I usually just sit on the airline pillow but that doenst really help. Thanks for posting that link!

Buster

Well, I got both the Therm-a-rest and the Travelon. I took the Travelon with me, and it was fine. I'm glad I didn't take the Therm-a-rest...it would never have fit in the seat. I was on an AA 787 in economy and boy, are those seats narrow. I was also in a bulkhead seat, which made the seat even narrower. The Travelon just barely fit. There is zero chance the Therm-a-rest would have ever fit.
