BRO Donut Cushion for Haemorrhoids – ergonomic memory foam seat cushion with ice-silk cover
Product description
If sitting has become uncomfortable, this BRO donut-style seat cushion is built around a simple idea: remove pressure from sensitive areas while keeping you supported. The design is U-shaped with a hollow cut-out, aimed at tailbone pain and sciatica-type discomfort, and it also claims help for general sitting unease.
That said, it’s not magic. Comfort depends quite a lot on your chair, your posture, and how long you’re sitting. Still, if your problem is pressure buildup during long stints at a desk, this is the sort of cushion that can make day-to-day sitting feel more manageable.
The essentials
This cushion is a ring/donut-style seat pad made to offload pressure. Instead of sitting “on” the tailbone area, the hollow cut-out is designed to create clearance, while the U-shaped ergonomic form helps distribute your weight more evenly across the rest of your seat.
On paper, it’s targeted at people dealing with tailbone pain, sciatica relief needs, and general discomfort from prolonged sitting. The listing also mentions potential suitability for conditions such as haemorrhoids and prostate issues, plus life stages like pregnancy and postpartum recovery, and longer daily office hours.
A practical detail that matters for everyday use is the airflow element: the cushion uses a cover designed to boost ventilation around the buttock area, which can be helpful if you tend to feel hot or sweaty during long sessions.
What you’ll notice day to day
The cover uses “ice-silk” fabric with a 9-hole structure, intended to maximise airflow and help keep skin cooler and drier. In warm weather, that’s the sort of feature that can be more noticeable than people expect, because sitting comfort isn’t only about pressure—it’s also about heat build-up.
There’s also a non-slip approach: rubber dots on the bottom are meant to keep the cushion in place on smoother surfaces. It’s a small thing, but when a cushion slides mid-commute or during a long work call, it stops being helpful quickly.
Example use: if you’re working at a desk and you feel a familiar ache building up after a couple of hours, placing this on your office chair and adjusting your position so the cut-out sits where you need clearance can turn “I’ll push through” into “I can stay comfortable a bit longer”.
Key takeaways on support and pressure relief
The cushion is made from high-density memory foam with a stated 7cm thickness. The listing claims it reduces sitting pressure by up to 70% and that its support and pressure distribution are stronger than traditional thinner (4cm) cushions.
It also uses slow-rebound properties, which—on the basis of how memory foam typically behaves—should help it retain its shape even after extended daily use. The stated weight support optimisation is for users up to 85kg.
One limitation to keep in mind: no cushion can fully eliminate discomfort for everyone. If your discomfort is mainly from chair fit, lumbar support, or a medical issue that needs targeted treatment, you may still need to adjust your setup or seek advice. This cushion is best viewed as a pressure-relief aid, not a cure.

Who it suits (and who should be cautious)
It makes sense if you’re looking for a seat cushion for long periods of sitting—especially in an office chair setup, but the listing also suggests it can be used in car seats, wheelchair use, and even airplane seating.
You’ll likely appreciate it more if heat build-up is part of the discomfort, since the ice-silk cover is designed around airflow. It also ticks the “practical hygiene” box with a detachable, machine-washable cover.
It might not be a great match if you only need short bursts of seating comfort (you might prefer something thinner and easier to store). And if you’re heavier than the stated optimisation, or if your main issue is something other than pressure—like a back problem that needs lumbar support—you may find the cushion doesn’t address the root cause.
Care and setup tips
Start by placing it so the hollow cut-out lines up with the area you want offloaded, small positioning changes can make a noticeable difference. Because it’s designed for smooth surfaces with non-slip dots, you’ll likely find it stays put without constant readjustment.
For hygiene, the cover is detachable and machine-washable, which helps if you’re using it daily or in hot weather.
Is it worth it?
This BRO Donut Cushion for Haemorrhoids is worth considering if your main issue is pressure and heat build-up from prolonged sitting, and you want something with a thicker memory foam layer plus a ventilated ice-silk cover. The U-shaped cut-out approach is a sensible way to target tailbone-related discomfort and sciatica-type sitting pain.
Buy it if you sit for long stretches at a desk or commute, you want a cushion that’s designed to stay in place, and you value an easy-to-clean cover. Skip it if you’re expecting a one-size-fixes-all solution, your discomfort is mainly driven by factors the cushion can’t correct (like chair height or lumbar support), or you need something ultra-compact.
