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 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.
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.

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.
