    Have proven out a thought on the Purple seat cushions. And more...
    I agreed with a person that in a truck, the Purple’s could make you feel like a weeble wobbling but don’t fall down.
    The reason I found is they aren’t wide enough. They don’t cover the raised portion on the sides of the seat. So you lose that stability against your sides. Every time you move up and down on the cushion. You feel like falling to one side.
    I’ve proven this out with two cushions. Give them a chance against those sides of the seat. They’re great.
    Also the back cushion from Purple is fantastic. I put it against my lumbar. You’ll thank me if you get one. Doesn’t matter how much adjustment your seat has. This Purple cushion is it.
    I don’t have back problems. But I’m normal. Back, legs and all get achy. I’m confident I’m putting an end to that.

    They have 2 different widths of the Purple Cushion. I had to get the wider.

    All I can say is once I started the air ride, I haven't looked back. As soon as I crossed the border into Michigan that air ride was a god send. It took some time learning new muscle memory learning to keep the steering wheel steady vs the more abrupt ride which is what I was used to... but it's beautiful now. So far I haven't had to use the gelatin mattresses, or the lumbar support things. My day is probably coming though.

    The air ride was always there, but I never clicked it on until about 6 months in, just as an experimental... let's see how this is... sort of thing. And it's been a lot better.

    Try pajamas. It soaks up the sweat the better. Trust me. Been wearing pajamas all day for years as often as possible. Even I can forget I am wearing them. You need to live your life comfortable. Leather will stick to skin and leave you peeling and feeling ichy. Leather looks nice but it's just not acceptable for comfort and insulting to my senses... absolutely not acceptable.

    I looked at their website.
    The Ultimate is 2 inches wider than my Double.
    I’m fearing that won’t be wide enough to do a good job of covering the sides?
    I also wonder on the Ultimate. It’s 2.5 inches thick. Thickest one. 1/2 inch more than my Double. I wonder if that is too much?
    I have an original simply purple also. Along with all my seat already does. It does do very good. I’m thinking about just getting another original? It works good laying over the side of the seat. My Double is kinda too much flopping over the sides.

    The back pad keeps being outstanding. I even forget it’s there. Lumbar feels great. Just finished a long week. Last two days right up against 11 hours of driving each day.
