My wife replaced a few small bed pillows, I didn't realize she was dumping them until trash day came around....pulled one out, washed it and now I use it on the yak. I'm 5'10" and a slim 230lbs on a double cheeseburger with a diet coke day so the little to no padding that my C O D seat has just killed my tailbone. I couldn't go more than 2hours before I began to feel uncomfortable, now I can go a few hours on the yak with absolutely no pain to the behind. It's simply amazing how much this little cushion has helped my buttox, no more pain.
