"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."

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 happens when body weight concentrates on the same spot for too long, potentially reducing blood flow and damaging vulnerable tissue. Standard cushions — foam and gel — may help redistribute pressure, but their performance varies by design, fit and individual needs.
Prolonged pressure can mean:
- Blood flow may be reduced in vulnerable areas
- Heat, moisture and friction can contribute to skin damage
- Tissue damage can develop before a noticeable mark appears
Skin changes can be difficult to notice early. Regular skin checks, appropriate pressure redistribution and professional guidance are important for people at risk.
Whether you're concerned about a new spot or looking for better sitting support, the goal is to reduce prolonged pressure and protect vulnerable skin.
Choose seating support designed around your needs.

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.
SELECT BUNDLE
Created in Collaboration with Medical Professionals
When a pressure sore appears, most caregivers feel like they need to spend thousands to keep it from getting worse:
- Alternating Pressure Hospital Bed — $2,500+
- Medical Lift Chair — $1,500–$3,000
- Foam Cushions That Go Flat — $200+ replacing them over and over
- Assisted Living Facility — $5,000+ per month
MediGel Cushion → Just $79
(50% off)
One purchase. Instantly upgrades every chair they sit in into a medical-grade, zero-pressure surface.
Meanwhile, quick fixes like foam cushions and cheap gel pads may look helpful — but they do nothing to stop the pressure, heat, and moisture that cause sores. Most flatten within weeks, leaving your loved one sitting on what's essentially a hard surface with a thin layer on top.
That's why MediGel was engineered from the ground up using ActiveFlow Core™ Technology to eliminate sustained pressure at the source — instead of just softening it.
For less than the cost of a single wound care visit, MediGel protects their skin every single day. Right from the comfort of home.
