Sorry for the late reply. Pressure mapping didn't work out for me. My problem area was just above my tailbone in the mapping only covered the part I was sitting on. They finally solved my problem by putting gel in the lower half of the back of my chair and creating a cutout similar to the one in the diagram so that I don't have pressure in that area.
