Seat Cushions for Long Distance Driving?

Air ride seats...is why we can do it.

Not cushions

I can't take more than a few hours in my car. But spend all day in the seat of my truck, easily.

 

I sure can't help you there. I've never found a cushion that worked as advertised.

 

we use a wheelchair seat cushion , works good. also, dont have your wallet in your back pocket.

 

i will have to check about the cushion, i got if from my mom. sorry about the wallelt comment, but as soon as my bf took the wallet out of his back pocket it helped with the spine alignment problems.

 

Last year, on my way home, I got muscle spasms in my lower back so bad that I would have to stop and lay down every two hours. I lucked out and found a little back/seat cushion at Love's. It's 12 volt electric with heat and vibrate massage. It got me home and it's been in my truck ever since. Now, every time my back twinges a bit I turn it on for a few minutes and ahhhhh... relief. Comes with a control for heat/ lower thighs/ lower lumbar/ upper back and costs only around $20. Wouldn't drive without it now.

Bad back is the second most prevalent injury problem amongst truckers. It's no joke. Regular seats, especially in trucks with miles on em are no help. Regardless of make/model standard air-ride seats are el cheapos that wear out in no time. Next time you're in one of the bigger truckstops like Iowa 80, check out their aftermarket, top of the line seats. BTW, I wince every time I see someone being "cool" with those low-rider Pete seats. Ohhhh, you'll pay a price big time.

Furthermore don't ignore what your back is telling you. In my case 2 discs had moved out of place slightly. Find you a chiropractor that uses the new "Pro-adjuster". Entirely painless and almost instant relief. Humana covers it except for your co-pay.
