car seat cushion?
 

anyone here bought a car seat cushion or got recs?

i'm very picky but i figure someone with tos would understand. i need lumbar support too but i don't like having a cushion or anything near my upper trap, neck area. i start to get anxious

Some car seats are not comfortable at all for me, they just don't fit me right and/or force my head forward... I'm on the short side...

luckily my older Volvo has nice seats and I only use a sheepskin seat cover for a little softness and for no sweat/no cold leather seats...

What kind of car/seats do you have ?? - too narrow, too wrap around..

i love volvos, they ride smooth and from what i remember are so comfy

this is a 2007 honda fit i am buying from my parents so i have to find a work around.

so i drew an old diagram of my old civic vs the new fit.
old civic=relatively comfy. i inserted a lumbar pad and i was fine

new fit= the gas pedal and brakes are very sensitive which tenses up my neck a bit, but i think i will get used to it
cushions have extra padding around the edges and not in the middle. i do not like that!
also has a shorter steering wheel and i am skinny so my knees bump into each other too
the headrest was awful and pushed head forward so i just took it off

its an awesome car otherwise but they could use this as a way to dx tos, srsly, it's that uncomfortable. if i sit in the wrong kind of seat i start to feel really nauseous.

I looked up the interior photos of the fit, might take some trial & error to get a really good comfortable workaround.....

Does the seat raise or lower at all? Or seat base tilt? or only the seat back can be reclined?

oh good idea, i don't know if the seat base can tilt. i will try that

i put in a mesh lumbar support thing

i highly rec them, i got mine from my dad (this is not my car fwiw, random 'net photo)

with a tempurpedic pillow under my butt so i don't feel like im falling back into the seat too much

i developed a huge trigger point today in my left pec and i know its from the steering wheel being too far away but if i move the wheel closer my knees are cramped.

also apparently there's a lot of complaints about the FIT seats.

tempurpedic needs to make thick foam car seats

so anyone tall with tos

GET TELESCOPIC STEERING, it is an absolute must. my fingers were tingling all last night


i am actually convinced this seat could give a healthy person TOS

-steering wheel far away, so you have to reach forward encouraging pec minor strain
-forward headrest
