Memory Foam Seat Cushion

[Malaki86]

T/A's are selling seat cushions that are made of the memory foam material. The price is in the $20 range.

Has anyone on here gotten one? And, if so, how is it? Worth buying or stay clear of it?

I have one that my mom gave me. She got it from the hospital when she had surgery last year. I also have another cushion (not memory foam) from Wal-Mart. It worked fine, but nothing compared to the memory foam. If I had to get a new cushion, I would get a memory foam. If you need a cushion, I would go get a memory foam. I would say that the $20 is well worth it.

Ya - I'm one of the (un)lucky drivers with no natural cushion built into my backside. Damn me being blessed with having a slender body. Tell ya what - it sucks having a sore behind with a job that requires you to use it.

I'll stop tomorrow and pick one up if I go past a T/A.

Mine must have memory foam built in...every time I sit down I smell the farts from the day before.

Now this is my opinion,and have introduced many friends to this product. Air hawk seat cushion, or better yet its a air bladder. This is the best product I have ever used. The front of my legs don't go to sleep anymore, and it cures the tailbone discomfort while keeping the blood flowing to your tush, Oh, and my back feels better on those long days!!! It is a little pricey at $189.00 but if you cant afford the cost, then in my opinion something is wrong. I bought mine about a year ago for 105.00. Its well worth it in the long run just for the improved comfort,and the body saving relief just sitting in the truck can have on YOU!!!! Some things are just worth the high price....

It looks like it would be comfortable, but I don't think that it is worth over $100.

I think you are probably older like I am....lol
I would pay whatever to relieve the back and bottom pain sitting in a truck seat causes, you really have to sit in one and drive for a day and it will hook anyone....lol Its one of those products that is worth its weight in gold, so to speak!!!

My wife plans to start traveling with me again. We are trying to find something for her to use. For the difference in price, I think we may start with one of the memory cushions. Do you think the Airhawk improves your circulation or is it mainly for the level of comfort?

I looked throug my Iowa 80 catalog and they sell them there too. Sometimes there's a discount using a OOIDA coupon code. Although, shipping eats up most of the discount.

I picked one of the memory foam cushions up a couple of days ago. It was pretty comfortable - for a couple of hours. The problem is that it compresses and becomes even harder than the seat cushion that it's supposed to be cushioning. Also, because of it's thickness, it raises me up too high. If I let any air out of the seat to lower back down, the seat then bottoms out on these wonderful roads.

I may invest in the airhawk after all.

My wife found one she liked at Walmart yesterday. We shall see how she likes it. They had them marked down to $20. I believe they were selling them a couple of weeks ago for $30.

The main benefit is the increased circulation for SURE, would not lie about that!!!! The cushion by air hawk will level you in the seat from 1 side to the other, some seats are not level from side to side. You don't get the Butt burn, or monkey butt so to speak either...lol It helps me to sit in the proper way, and my back loves me for it!!! With all this in mind, this will make you more comfy...lol
They also make them for MC's, to bad I spent 1k in custom leather seats or I would have it there too...lol I would not steer you wrong, this will keep you in the drivers seat longer, and I believe make you more productive....

If you use the air hawk right it will raise you 1/2" off your seat!!! I like it just a tad higher, and yes I always have all the air out of the seat...lol @ 185 and 6' and the new Mack seats I have to, or I feel like I am sitting on top of the world...lol Its the same without the air hawk!!!! My truck seat just sits to high for me to start with. I miss the old El Dorado seats, you could adjust the seat height manually, then air it up!!!

My wife was in the hospital a couple of months ago with pulmonary embolisms. She had 4 blood clots in her lungs and one in her leg. They thought that her condition may have been complicated by going with me in the truck. I was looking at a way for her to be more comfortable while increasing her circulation. Sitting for long periods of time is not good when it comes to blood clots. I think we will start with the cushion we just purchased. If that doesn't do the job, then we may look into something like the airhawk.

She's doing better now? Excellent!

Yes, she seems to be doing better. She has some serious health issues and has been disabled for a number of years. She needs someone to be with her all the time, so if I drive she will need to go with me.
