Cushions designed for use on a commode seat to provide comfort, alleviation of pain, and/or to facilitate positioning of a person. These cushions may consist of an inflatable device or a device made of soft cushioning materials (e.g., high-density foam); commode seat cushions usually have a hole in the center (i.e., ring cushions) and a waterproof outer covering. They are usually snapped or strapped onto the commode or toilet seat, and there are some that are made to wrap around the seat like a steering-wheel cover. Sacroiliac accommodative cushions provide comfort and protection of the coccyx (i.e., tailbone) and/or perineal area; they are mainly used by patients undergoing rehabilitation or by geriatric people.
