Before I started driving, I had a lot of physical aches and pains that I worried would be exacerbated by driving, but none of them have really given me any trouble. In fact, I wonder sometimes if sleeping while my codriver drives, with all the bumping and jostling around, loosens up the parts that would otherwise be stiff and achy...
But my coccyx! Oh my goodness, it hurts all the time!
I really want to get the purple seat cushion, but I also have felt the miracle gel one, and it seems very similar. A good friend recently bought me a memory foam one that he thinks is really great, so I'll give that a try this week. But I'm just curious what you all recommend.
Thanks!
Best seat cushion?

My 2 cents: Buy sports oriented compression socks. I wear them as a meat manager and have used them for 20 years. I am not a diabetic. They help your feet and legs circulate blood. When I was waiting table and doing double shifts my feet were fine at the end of the day.
Try a good compression waist band. Also one for the specific joints that bug you. -

Wonder Gel cushions are hands down the BEST. They cost $80-90, but WELL worth it if you drive for a POS company that has crappy hard seats.

I've never thought any of the seats were particularly hard, but my tailbone just starts aching regardless. I've driven almost entirely in pretty decent Volvos and Freightliners. -
After getting into better seats I haven't used the Wonder Gel seat pad anymore.CoveringBases Thanks this.
