Inflatables are easy to pack, but I cannot imagine sitting on one, I would wobble constantly. I haven't tried this one but I like the basic idea:

Bigger to carry, of course, but since in my case the pain develops around the tailbone, maybe this will help. YMMV.
Let us know how this works out. I have tailbone pain too. What's funny is that my spine is actually in normal shape. Then again I don't remember sitting in middle seats for 5 hours in an absolutely crowed plane in my younger days either. Class y seat cushions really blow.
