I have real problems with my coccyx (tailbone) when I'm sitting for long periods. Does anyone with a similar problem have any experience with an Airhawk cushion

I too have a great deal of discomfort sitting for any prolonged time (more than 45 minutes). After trying almost every aftermarket motorcycle seat and based on bicycle seat technology, I re-designed the airhawk cushion by removing the center of the seat, see drawing below. The folks at airhawk are most accomodating. Think about where you need to remove pressure and design a cushion to fit your needs.

Simon, email me at edhancock@comcast.net and give me your email address. I will put the drawing I've been talking about in that email.

I have an Airhawk and it works fine for me. In the winter I put in on my kitchen seat as a cushion. I would love a custom seat but can not shake loose the $1,000+ it would take to purchase.

You will have to click outside the Message box to be able to cursor down, or you can use the slider on the far right of your screen.
From there, use the "Browse" button to locate your photo, then click on "Upload". You will see the file name next to "Browse" if that is successful. Finally, click on "Close this window".
