Looking for something to make long trips easier, mostly for my bride and kids.What do you recommend?

Recently bought a neck pillow. Love it! Wondering why I didn't buy one sooner.

I use to put a sleeping bag on the jackknife sofa. It made sitting and sleeping much more comfy. For the car seat, I bought one of those "As seen on T.V." cushions. It was made like a sandwich with two layers of foam, and a layer of jell in the middle. Very nice, sorry I can't think of the name. I own a Lincoln MKZ, and you'd think it would have a comfortable seat-no way- it's horrible. My wife wants me to trade it, and she's never like that. I talked to the local seat expert in town, and he says they make the seats hard so the sensors etc will work right. When I was young, I could sit on anything, not so now that I'm older.

I have that "As seen on TV type cushion also only I use it behind my back. I am short and most seats lean back too far and I feel like I'm half laying down. It makes driving/riding much more comfortable. When it's hot, you can take the gel layer out - freeze it and put it back in the layers to help keep you cool while using it.

:) Hi, through out the years, I have tried several seat cushions and the one that works the best for me is the one sold at Costco.

Gotta love this forum. Someone asks about a $12 cushion and the elites have him buying a half million dollar super C.

Airhawk. Got 2 for my ‘01 RAM with its plywood like seating. Still use in the 15 occasionally but the new seats are better.

Tried many, air, gel, foam, etc. Always end up using the low-profile ROHO.

My wife and daughter both use coccyx cushions:

I used it for a there and back trip from central Pennsylvania to Goshen, Indiana trip. It actually did make for a more comfortable 20 hour round-trip.

Am using a "ASOTV" comfy-cushion, but it needs replacing, and I have not been able to find a new one yet. My driver seat has about 60K miles with my fat whatever sitting, and just doesn't have to support or cushioning it used to have.

Bought a memory foam seat cushion at Wal Mart that's about an inch thick. Pretty comfy.

Nothing. No one uses anything. Even after 10 hours. The X is comfortable!
