That's me, too! And my recliner is specially outfitted with all kinds of special pillows and my thermi-pac. At work, I have what I guess most would call a cushy adjustable chair. I keep it at the very lowest setting (I'm practically sitting on the floor! ) so I can sit/lean forward as much as possible. I've got like a quarter of a butt cheek on it at a time. I do stand quite a bit at work, but there are times that I just can't.
Oh, and I LOVE my ICN Cushions, too!!!! I gave the 2" one to my husband (no pelvic pain but loves it!) and use the 3" one quite a bit. Honestly, I only get a few extra minutes of sitting outta it because I have that "sit bone" pain thing going on. No amount of cushiness seems to help with that. It feels like I'm sitting on sharp rocks and adding cushions is just like adding them under the rocks. Oh well!

I know I always say this, but...

I feel like the 2 inch soft IC cushion is worthless for us! I hardly even see much benefit from the 3 inch soft. I only really benefit from the 2 inch firm cushion. I'm petite too--about 110 lbs.

I weigh 185 lbs. but found the 3 inch firm made my ischial tuberosities hurt. Liked the 2 inch firm better but finally settled on the 3 inch soft as my favorite. As I have posted on another thread, I have found the Airgo Active Seat Cushion (two inflatable air bladders joined in the middle) that I bought on Amazon ($100) great for leaning forward in a chair or siiting on a hard surface. I move around a lot at work (I am an x-ray tech) and it folds over fairly small and is quite portable.
