For a long time, I couldn't sit without agony. Finding a solution required stripping away everything I thought I knew about posture and looking at the raw science of movement. Before I found relief, however, I had to hit a wall—a moment of clarity in Melbourne that redefined my entire approach to physical health.
The Melbourne Moment: The "3-Hour" Warning
In 2023, while I was in Melbourne, I met a local friend for coffee. Our drinks had just arrived when he suddenly had to stand up. "I'm sorry," he said, "I just can't sit on these hard chairs anymore."
He was a sales professional who drove 3 hours every day for work. For years, he thought his car seat was fine, but the constant vibration and lack of support had finally caused his lower back to "give up." He could drive to see his customers, but he couldn't sit long enough to enjoy a coffee with a friend. This was my first "wake-up call" about the hidden dangers of long-term driving.
The TikTok Studio Test: My Own Struggle
Soon after, I had my own crisis. I was staying in a rental studio apartment in my hometown, teaching myself how to edit videos for TikTok.
The apartment had a hard wooden chair. Because I was a beginner, a simple video took me hours of intense sitting. My butt would ache, my legs felt numb, and when I stood up, my lower back was so stiff I could barely move. I kept asking myself: "How can anyone sit like this for a living?"
The Search for the "Blue Donut"
I became obsessed with finding a solution. I personally bought and tested 10 different types of cushions. I discovered that softness doesn't mean support. Most cushions went flat in minutes.
Then, I found this 40cm Blue Donut Cushion. It was different. It didn't just feel "soft"; its high-density memory foam core (40cm x 38cm x 8cm) was firm and resilient. Its specialized central opening was engineered to suspend the tailbone (coccyx), relieving 100% of the direct pressure. For the first time, I could finish my video editing without the "standing up" pain.
The Skeptic: "The Shape Looks So Weird!"
When I brought this cushion back to Singapore, my girlfriend was the first to see it. She has been driving since she was 18 and has serious spinal issues that made sitting at our dining table or driving a car very painful.
When she saw the donut shape, she laughed. "The shape looks so weird!" she said. "Why is it so different from a normal pillow?" I told her to just try it. She took it to her car and then to her dining chair.
The very next day, she called me in amazement. "I can finally sit again," she said. She was so impressed that she now carries that "weird" blue cushion everywhere she goes—from the car seat to the dining table—because it is the only thing that gives her relief.
