I've been to like 10 different stores in Canterbury looking for this and no one has them.  Ugh.  Amazon does but I haaate Amazon :(
Are there Medical supply stores in town? That's what you need... Regular stores won't have them. You could possibly ask your pharmacist if they know where to buy em. :)

I feel your pain.
I fell on the stairs in 2015 and went the entire flight down on my one buttcheek.

You've only got one butt cheek?

The pharmacies were the first place I looked.  Nowhere has them :( I think part of the problem is that a lot of pharmacies are smaller than they normally would be as it's a city and space is expensive, but they don't even have them on the boots websites. 

Mothercare has these enormous ones that won't even fit on our chairs so it's pointless.

The whole thing makes me so grouchy but I do appreciate everyone's suggestions and am continuing to look.

Oh I just noticed Lloyds online has one and they can do click and collect!  Thanks for reminding me of them, they didn't have one in store but ours is inside a sainsbury's.

Boots has an inflatable one, they just call it something else!  http://www.boots.com/safe-and-sound-health-inflatable-comfort-cushion-10167308

I agree with the others that this may take a while to heal so it might be useful to have something portable?

I would mostly need it for home.  I have 2 jobs and in one of them I basically never sit anyway.  The other one I do sit at a desk but I am able to adjust the chair so I just perch--that's okay now although a couple weeks ago I was in agony.

Ok, my IA for the day....

Today is my brother-in-law’s Birthday. He had no plans and none of his pals had arranged anything, so we offered to take him to dinner or make him a fancy meal. He said a homemade meal would be great, so we planned it all out and went shopping late just to have everything ready. I took off work early to start prepping and to make dessert. Now he is going out with some friends, but will stop by earlier than planned for his dinner!! I’m trying to be understanding, but this REALLY frosts my cookies!!

Haha. One foot slipped and I twisted trying to grab for a rail and hit every stair on the way down on the one side. I got tramadol and had a very bad reaction to it. I then fell down the stairs again a week later. It was bad.
The usual. American girl meets British guy. They fall into like, then into love. Then there was the big decision. The American traveled across the pond to join the Brit. And life was never the same again.
