Purple seat cushion pushes all the proverbial buttons
I ordered this seat cushion and got it yesterday. I drove with it today, and here is my review. First, it's the right size for a Ford Bronco. If you've driven in a Bronco, you know that their seats are somewhat comfortable for shorter drives, but sometimes a little hard. But long trips can be hard. I did buy a different cushion in the store on said long trip, and passed on the purple cushion (not ultimate) due to it being twice the cost. However, the shortcomings of that cushion was it was too small. I then got another cushion on amazon. It's a lot better and bigger (width wise) cushion on amazon. The quality is pretty good, but again, it was too small for the Bronco seat, and it came up short under my legs and sides. Though, I like the feel on my behind. I can even sit on my wallet which is big and bulky, and not feel it. I finally measured my seat (got the tape ruler out), and found that the ultimate purple looks like it may fit. The purple cushion is the right size width. It's wide enough for my seat so that my body isn't spilling over the sides, and it comes up under my knee right where the calf turns down. It's the same thickness as the amazon bought cushion, but since it fits better on the seat, it seems taller (maybe it is?). Anyways, I almost feel like it's too tall, but I can't argue with the cushiony feel on my behind. Wish list for purple: 1. offer straps to secure to the car seat. It's heavy enough to almost not shift, but it does shift a little when getting out of the car. This is a small annoyance. My other two cushions are annoyances. 2. Maybe taper the front a little bit. Make it more of a wedge. Maybe if I got this wish, it might not work out. I think it's worth trying, though. 3. Get rid of the spine cut-out. I fee like I'm being pushed down on the rear, and the front of my legs lifted up. Kinda exaggerating a little, but just a little. As mentioned before, although it's 2" in height, it feels like it's taller than the other 2" cushion that I got prior. I'm not sure if it's really taller, or maybe because it fits to my knee, maybe that's what's making it taller? Also, it seems with the added height, that I had to adjust the mirrors to the height. It also makes looking at the street traffic lights a little bit more challenging. Would I go back to other seat cushions? Or use no cushion at all? Not on your life! Even with these "flaws", it's the best seat cushion that I've been able to find (so far). If I could have just one thing, it would be to get rid of the cut-out for the spine. I don't think it's needed. update: loving this seat cushion. I turned the seat cushion around so that the spine cut-out is now in the front. I think it fits a little better in the Bronco seat, and my behind is a lot happier. The spine cut-out is between my legs now, so it's not really an issue anymore. Maybe a leg might drift into that area fit better? I dunno. I feel like that's the "taper" I was hoping for, kinda. Read more
