“Unique” would be the best word to describe this coccyx pillow.
Why, you ask?
Because the manufacturer claims this pillow supports your backside so well you can sit on an egg without breaking it. Hence, the name: The “Egg Sitter”.
One of the Egg Sitter’s coolest features is its flex-grip honeycomb design (you can see it on the image above). This particular design allows air to circulate through the pillow, so it stays cool to the touch.

The Aylio Seat Cushion is one of the most popular seat cushions on the market. It’s easy to see why if you look at all the features it includes for a very affordable price.
Let’s now take a look at the design of this pillow and other practical stuff:
✅ 3 x 13 x 16” (weighs 7 ounces)
✅ O-shaped; the center hole is hidden by fabric
✅ Made of high-density foam
✅ Molds to body contours
✅ Machine-washable polyester cotton cover
The DMI Donut Seat Cushion is the only O-shaped entry on the list. Let’s see what makes it great:
Let’s talk now about one of the most important features of a donut pillow beside its materials: discretion.
As you may know (and maybe it’s the issue that’s keeping you from actually buying an O-shaped pillow), donut cushions have a certain… stigma to them.
I think that may be because, in our collective minds, donut pillows correlate to hemorrhoids, and, even when that’s true (they can also be used for a plethora of different ailments, like post-pregnancy pain relief), it’s not something we may want to publicize.
Thus, discretion is a must.
And discretion is exactly what the DMI Donut Seat Cushion brings to the table. In it, the center hole is hidden by fabric. This means that when people look at it, they will only see a circular pillow.
If you enjoy long baths but your coccyx hurts afterwards, I recommend you try a full body bath mat. It will cushion your bruised tailbone from the hard surface of the tub and make all the difference during bath time.
Here’s what you need to know in order to choose the perfect coccyx pillow.
There are two main shapes to choose from:
Coccyx pillows, aka coccydynia pillows, can be made of all sorts of different materials. From organic, like small seeds and sand; to man-made, like foam or gel.
However, high-density memory foam is the most used and sought after material in coccyx pillows and sacral pillows because of its comfort and resilience.
A good memory foam pillow will be harder to flatten and will regain its shape after prolonged periods of use.
However, memory foam will also get warm more easily (it reacts to body heat), so room temperature (and a breathable cover!) is needed for optimal performance.
Here’s a brief list of coccyx cushion materials:
Because of the very nature of these pillows -they’re made to be sat on for hours at a time- coccyx pillows tend to get dirty. Thus, a removable and machine-washable cover is a must.
Breathability is another important factor to consider when choosing a good trombone cushion cover.
Most materials used on the pillow tend to get warm because of body heat. That warmth, in turn, can become moisture, which can lead to a bunch of not-so-fun stuff like mold. Hence why a breathable, hygienic, cover is also a must.
Thankfully, most coccyx pillow covers are.
When it comes to coccyx pillows, thicker does not always equal better. You need to find, first and foremost, a pillow that adapts to your taste and needs.
Some coccyx pillows include cool features like:
Most coccyx pillows can be used in (and fit) a wide variety of seats and environments such as:
