Books + Posture Cushions

Both the regular Wedges and the Travel Wedges are the same size — 12" x 6" X 2" (at highest point). Both are covered with the same heavy-duty, non-skid fabric.  

The difference is in the weight and the material used for filling. 

The Travel Wedge is filled with buckwheat hulls, making it only 10 ounces in weight and thus ideal for taking on trips or out and about to restaurants or movies and such. 

The Wedge and the Tan Wedge are filled with recycled rubber "sand" from tires. Some people have expressed a sensitivity to the small of the rubber, but in our experience, most people don't notice it, and when they do, it usually fades relatively quickly. We tried various fills for the more heavy duty version, and have found the rubber fill works best.

Both the rubber sand and the buckwheat are purchased here on the West Coast, and the Wedges are sewn for us here in Portland, Oregon. We would be able to have them made for less elsewhere, such as China, and therefore sell them for less, as well, but we are committed to having them made here in the U.S.

Most wedge-shaped cushions on the market accommodate the poor sitting habit of sitting on a "tucked" pelvis, like a sad dog that tucks its tail between its legs. This way of sitting is most often at the root of the pain that people experience on their tail bone (coccyx) as well back pain and sciatica.

Our Wedges are designed to "park" your pelvis in the natural anterior position that all healthy, well-developing babies in the world discover on their own—it's the innate human design! When the pelvis is in this position, the tailbone is no where near the sitting surface. 

Please follow the instructions on the wrapper carefully in order to get the correct benefits from using a Wedge.

We've learned from experience that  when the Wedge is not comfortable, it is often a matter of the instructions not being fully understood or followed as closely as they need to be.

Please watch the instructional video that can be accessed via the link on the inside of the wrapper that comes with the Wedge.

It helps to think of this not as a cushion you sit fully on top of, but as a "door stop" type wedge that slides in from behind you, in order to tip your pelvis forward a bit. 

Of course, when dealing with some back pain issues and their various causes, we cannot guarantee that the Wedge will work for you. This is why you have 30-days to try it out with a full-refund if it doesn't suit you.
