    I’m based in Kansas. Do out and back.
    One day we crossed the State line. I turned to my cat and said; Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.
    I’ve kinda adopted that and; When I get done unloading. I click my heels together 3 times and say “I wanna go home” 3 times. Sure enough, in a matter of hours we’re home in Kansas.

    It must be quite a shock to see the world in color.

    I found that my Purple seat cushion doesn’t work out well on my drivers seat. Ends up overkill. It also eliminates the support on the sides of the seat.
    Maybe a thin one might help?
    For now, my seat has pretty much to it already.
    My passenger seat has no suspension. I put the cushion there. Toto seems to really like it.
    I do love that cushion in my car.

    I haven't had much luck with pre-made cushions. My wife went to fabric store and got a few different densities of foam. Been trying them for awhile and finally came up with a combo my ### likes. I can drive all day without my no assatall complaining.

    When I drove for Swift those hardpan seats really started to do a number on my ###. Almost decided to stop driving altogether because of the pain.

    I got a magic gel cushion and like you said, it's a bit of overkill in some places. I took the honeycomb cushion out of the cover and went to work with a pair of scissors, cutting a place for my bony ### and troughs for my legs so my circulation was restored. After that it was perfect.

    I haven't used it in years, ever since leaving Swift and getting into trucks with decent seats.

    The base of my right ### cheek has started to have some chronic pain. Right where the bottom of the cheek meets the very upper backside of my hamstring. Can't figure it out. Will be shopping for some cheek protection.
