I guess to my skinny, boney posterior I recently started developing what felt like a bruise from sitting in the drivers seat. I looked for one of those seat pads to help, but none seemed to make any difference. I finally got a 2" thick memory foam seat pad from Walmart (in the furniture section... the ones that you tie to a wooden dinner chair)... that helped but didn't really solve the problem.
Finally I ran across the MiracleGel seat cover at the Little America TC in Wyoming. Expensive (like $59), but wow what a difference that makes! I can sit in correct position all day now and the bruised feeling is going away...
... if they sold a MiracleGel mattress pad I'd consider getting one even if they are expensive. The gel is made with a honeycomb pattern to spread out compression and add support. Very good product.
What kind mattress you sleeping on?

You remember what you paid for it? They gave DH a new mattress when he got his truck, and I picked up an eggshell for him that we cut to size, but he really could use something a little more comfortable.
Thanks, Ellietruckon Thanks this. -
Yes, the full size was $119. Pretty amazing difference. We had a 4" memory foam topper from Walmart and this is WAY better.slomocopshow Thanks this.

Is Costco the only place to get it? By "full size" do you mean Twin, or Standard?
-
I am sure you could order online if I remembered the brand..We will be going to Costco today and I will look. Full Size is the size between twin and queen size. The bed in our truck is wider than a twin so we cut the full size down.
slomocopshow Thanks this. -
Thanks so much for doing our "legwork"! I really appreciate it! I believe DH's bed is also slightly wider than a twin, for we had to buy a double-sized eggshell cover and cut it down to size so it would be big enough.

OK, here is the info. It is the Novaform Gel topper. Link is http://www.novaformgel.com/
I just bought another for my son and his wife. Queen size at Costco was $109 after instant rebate. I do not know where else they can be purchased. -
Thanks so much for your help. Here's hoping that your week is filled extra short red lights but no traffic jams whatsoever.

Best $90 I spent at Chinamart was a twin size 4" foam mattress topper 2 years ago.... Looks like they've gone down in price... http://www.walmart.com/ip/Spa-Sensations-4-Memory-Foam-Mattress-Topper/4569413#rr
I chokingly told my wife the 200 thread count sheet she bought me were like sandpaper, and of course she grabbed some 600 thread count sheets, talk about comfort, I'm hooked! -
Thread count... remember the thread count.... more is better...
