Eliminate Tailbone Pain And Sit Comfortably For Hours With MediGel
-
"I cannot recommend this enough. Dad was developing a sore on his tailbone despite me turning him regularly. Since switching to MediGel the redness has completely gone and he says it's the most comfortable he's felt sitting in months. The fact that it works on his recliner AND his wheelchair makes it even better. Don't waste money on foam — just get this."
-
"Bought this after my husband's nurse specifically recommended a gel cushion with a tailbone cutout. Two months in and no new sores, existing redness has cleared up, and he's comfortable sitting for longer periods without complaint. Easy to clean, stays in place, doesn't flatten. If your loved one is at risk for pressure sores, I highly recommend MediGel."
-
"After trying three different foam cushions that all went flat within weeks, I was skeptical. But the cutout design made sense to me — no surface contact means no pressure. Mom has been using it for two months now and her skin has stayed completely clear. Her wound care nurse is impressed. Highly recommend to any caregiver dealing with pressure sores."

My dad is 78 and for the past couple of years he's just stopped coming to Sunday dinners as often. Stopped sitting through my kids' games. Always had an excuse to leave early or not come at all.
I thought he was just getting older and slowing down. Didn't want to push it.
Then one day I actually asked him. Turns out sitting had become genuinely painful for him — his tailbone and lower back would ache within maybe 20 minutes of sitting in any chair. Getting up was the worst part, he said. That moment of standing up after he'd been sitting for a while had become something he dreaded.
He'd just quietly accepted it as part of getting old and never said a word.
I found this cushion called MediGel that has a cutout where the tailbone sits so there's zero pressure on that spot. Got him one for his recliner and one for the car.
Honestly didn't expect much. But now he's staying longer at dinner. Last month he sat through my son's entire football game without once asking to leave.
On the drive home he said "I forgot what it felt like to just sit somewhere and not think about it."
I wasn't expecting a seat cushion to make me emotional but here we are.
If your parent has been quietly skipping things — it might be worth asking why. 🙏

I have to share this because I wish someone had told me sooner.
My mom is 79 and last spring her doctor found a pressure sore developing on her tailbone. I had been so careful — repositioning her, checking her skin, using the barrier cream.
Turns out the foam cushion I'd been using had completely flattened out. Her bones were pressing directly against the chair and I had no idea.
Her wound care nurse explained it — foam bottoms out and cuts off circulation. That's how sores form. She recommended a medical grade gel cushion with a tailbone cutout. I found MediGel and ordered it that night.
That was four months ago. The sore has completely healed. Skin has been totally clear at every check since. The gel bounces back every time I press on it — same as day one. It does not flatten.
I carried so much guilt thinking I had failed her. The truth was I just had the wrong cushion. If anyone has a parent who sits for long periods please look into this. Westlyn website. It might be the most important thing I've bought this year. 💙

Has anyone else tried MediGel for a parent in a wheelchair? Because I need to talk about this.
My mom has been in a wheelchair for three years and keeping her skin healthy has basically become a part time job. We went through so many cushions — foam ones that flattened out fast, others that just didn't do what they promised. Her wound care nurse actually told us the donut cushion we were using was making things worse.
MediGel is the first thing that has actually held up. Six months in and her skin has been completely clear. The gel still feels the same as when we got it — nothing has compressed or changed.
I don't really post about products but a woman in my caregiver group mentioned it and I'm genuinely glad she did. Just passing it along in case anyone else is in the same boat.

If You Don't Want Your Loved One To Develop A Pressure Sore…
Pressure sores are one of the most preventable — and most devastating — complications of long-term sitting and bed rest.
- 1 in 10 immobile adults will develop one
- 1 in 3 for seniors over 70
Researchers have identified a hidden cause most caregivers never address:
Sustained Pressure.
Sustained pressure is what happens when body weight concentrates on the same spot for too long — cutting off the blood supply that keeps skin alive. Within 2 hours, skin cells start dying. And here's what makes it dangerous: standard cushions — foam and gel — can soften pressure. They cannot eliminate it.
Sitting on a flat surface — even a cushioned one — means:
Blood flow gets cut off at the highest-risk areas
Heat builds up against the skin, accelerating breakdown
Damage accumulates invisibly before a single mark appears
The terrifying part? By the time you see a red or purple mark, the tissue damage underneath may have already been building for hours.
That spot you noticed this morning, or you've tried everything to heal?
It's constant pressure that needs to be eliminated.
MediGel™ Eliminates Pressure At The Source — Automatically
MediGel uses ActiveFlow Core™ Technology, engineered to stop pressure sores before they start.
Every sore begins the same way: body weight pinches the same blood vessels shut, starved skin runs hot, trapped heat turns to moisture, and what started as pressure quietly becomes an open wound.
ActiveFlow Core™ stops this chain before it starts.
The medical-grade gel flows and reshapes with every breath, continuously shifting weight so no single patch of skin ever gets pinched long enough to overheat, break down, or lose its blood supply.
And unlike other gel cushions, the built-in tailbone cutout removes the surface entirely where hot spots form first and sores go deepest.
Keeping skin cool, dry, and protected. All day long.

Foam and standard gel pads soften pressure. MediGel eliminates it — and keeps doing it for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon will I feel relief?
How soon will I feel relief?
Most people feel the difference the first time they sit down. The tailbone cutout takes pressure off the most sensitive spot immediately, and the honeycomb gel spreads your weight evenly so you can sit longer without the ache setting in.
I've tried other cushions that didn't work — why is this different?
I've tried other cushions that didn't work — why is this different?
Foam and standard gel pads only soften pressure — and most flatten within weeks, leaving you sitting on what is essentially a hard surface. MediGel uses ActiveFlow Core™ gel that flows and reshapes with every movement, plus a built-in tailbone cutout that removes the surface entirely where sores go deepest.
Will it flatten out?
Will it flatten out?
No. Unlike foam, the medical-grade gel bounces back every single time. Customers report it feels the same as day one even after six months of daily use — nothing compresses or breaks down.
Can I use MediGel in a wheelchair?
Can I use MediGel in a wheelchair?
Yes. MediGel works in wheelchairs, recliners, dining chairs, office chairs, car seats and more. At 16″ × 13″ × 2″ it fits most standard seats, and many caregivers use it specifically for a loved one in a wheelchair.
How do I clean it?
How do I clean it?
The gel wipes clean in seconds with a damp cloth, and the optional machine-washable cover keeps it fresh with everyday use.

Can I travel with it?
