Abstract
The disclosed invention provides a seating device for use by individuals who have recently had a surgical procedure that makes it uncomfortable or painful for the person to bear their body weight on their buttocks region. The device includes a firm back support and a cushioned bottom portion having a contoured recess thereon, thereby allowing an individual to place their body weight on the thigh area rather than directly onto the buttocks, offering comfort while sitting. The back support is connected to the bottom portion by a hinge, enabling the back support to fold down on the seat for easy and convenient portability. Overall, the present invention allows people to go about their daily routines without worry of additional discomfort when sitting down at home, at work, during vehicular transit, or other situations.
