Best Car Seat Cushions

The best car seat cushion for the average person, in our opinion, is this Clever Yellow Seat Cushion! It has a wedge-shaped design that is thickest at the back, where most people need the support. It has a U-shaped cut-out to relieve pressure on the tailbone and low back. It uses three layers designed to keep its shape over time: a top layer of ventilated mesh, dense memory foam, and a Clever Molded Foam core. This molded foam technology is used in Rolls Royce car seats! The cushion also has an adjustable buckle strap to secure it on your seat. The cushion cover zips off and can be hand washed if you accidentally spill a drink! The 3’’ of thick cushioning can also give you a little height boost and is perfect for cars with annoyingly low backs. Bonus: you get a free e-book with information to help you avoid back pain!

We think the Everlasting Comfort Cushion is the best car seat cushion for long drives with a low price--here’s why! Although it doesn’t have a strap to secure it around your car seat, the cushion cover has a non-slip textured rubber bottom that keeps it in place. This cushion cover is soft with a suede-like texture and can be taken off via the zipper for machine washing. The 2.8’’-thick memory foam has an ergonomic design with a U-shaped cutout that helps to take pressure off your tailbone and back. The cushion also “cups” your legs to support them and encourage good posture. The company states that the cushion density should suit people 100-300 pounds, but people up to 375 pounds have found the cushion setup comfortable. Memory foam is a great option for long drives since it’s so dense and contours perfectly to your body!

The Aylio Coccyx Seat Cushion is made from 3’’ of shaped foam padding with a soft velvet-feel cover. The anatomical design has a U-shaped cutout to take pressure off of your spine and tailbone. The cushion also cups your behind and thighs for added support and comfort to your legs without hurting your tailbone. The velvety cover zips on and off, and it’s machine washable. This cushion is thick enough that it doesn’t slide around much, even on smooth surfaces, but may be a little more “slippery” on leather or pleather car seats! It’s easy to take with you anywhere thanks to its light weight. If you find that memory foam gets too warm to be comfortable, you may prefer this thick foam cushion as an alternative. It’s a great car seat cushion, but you can take it anywhere--from airplanes to the office!

The Ziraki Coccyx Seat Cushion features thick 2.8’’ memory foam padding with a velvety soft velour cover. The cover is machine-washable and zips on and off, so if you spill coffee on your commute--no problem! The cushion has a U-cut orthopedic shape designed to take pressure off of your tailbone, coccyx, and spine in general--a major cause of pain while sitting. The thickness and shape of the memory foam cushion keeps this cushion from sliding around too much. However, we think this cushion would work best on cloth-covered car seats and other chairs. It may slip around a bit on leather car seats and smooth wood chairs. Note that this cushion also doesn’t have a handle, so it’s not as easy to carry around as some other options we’ve found. But the soft, washable velour cover and thick, anatomically shaped memory foam make this cushion a great choice for fighting back and tailbone pain!

The SoJoy iGelComfort Cushion comes in black or camouflage color options, perfect for blending in! The cushion cover has a zipper for washing it on low in the washing machine. Non-slip friction beads on the bottom of the cover help grip your seat so the cushion doesn’t slide around. Plus, you can attach the adjustable strap around the back of your car seat for an even more secure fit! The 1.5’’-thick cushion is made with cool, breathable gel on top with a foam pad on the bottom. The gel and mesh cover promote ventilation and breathability, perfect for people who run hot or want a cushion that can handle summer drives! If you find pure memory foam cushions to be too stifling for your behind, you may prefer this gel cushion. You can take it with you to the office, school, or into your home to sit comfortably anywhere.

The Gideon Premium Car Seat Cushion has an orthopedic design for relieving back pain and taking pressure off of your back, hips, and legs. It has an anatomical shape to help keep you comfortable for hours of sitting (exciting!), including a cutaway area in the center to relieve pressure from the tailbone. The elevated back section is 5’’ thick to help encourage good sitting posture, too! The cover zips on and off for easy washing, and a handle makes carrying the cushion easy. No straps to mess with if you want to use it outside of the car, too! You can take the cushion anywhere--use it in the car on the way to work, then take it into the office! The lightly textured bottom and thick, supportive design keep this cushion from slipping around during use. If you’re looking for some of the thickest padding around combined with a shaped anatomical design for total comfort, the Gideon cushion provides it all.

If you want an ultra-thick set of memory foam cushions for lumbar support, low back pain, coccyx discomfort, and more, the Soft&Care Car Seat Cushion set is the perfect option. With 3’’ of dense memory foam padding, the back and seat cushions are heavenly for an achey back! Each cushion has a velour cover that can be zipped on and off for easy cleaning. The bottom cushion has a non-slip rubber backing so it won’t slide around your seat, plus a handle for easy carrying. Its orthopedic shape takes pressure off of your spine and supports your coccyx perfectly. The top cushion for the back of your seat is secured with an adjustable buckle strap, so it’s easy to take on and off. It has a side pocket for holding your phone, wallet, or other small items. The ventilated center panel helps with breathability. Overall, an awesome orthopedic car seat cushion set for the price!

The Smart Direct Memory Foam car seat pad is available in black, gray, or beige. This cushion has an outer layer of gel-infused memory foam to maintain a cool temperature and ventilation. The memory foam filling is dense and ultra-comfy, too. If you want a portable car seat cushion that you can also use for your chair at the office or your table, this cushion doesn’t have straps or hooks. That makes it easy to pick up and take with you or switch to different seats as needed. If you often share a car with someone, this easy-to-transport memory foam car seat cushion works well for switching around. However, if you want something you can strap in securely so it won’t slide around under you, then you may want a car seat cushion with straps or hooks that go around your seat. One thing’s for sure: that memory foam means no more achey butt issues after a long ride!

The Carmoni PU Leather Seat Cushion is a black PU leather cushion with activated bamboo charcoal and a rubber sponge inner. The PU leather is a great option for holding up to spills and messes since it’s water-repellant and easy to clean. The seat is also non-slip, so it won’t slide around underneath you, and you won’t slide around either! The attachment options include plastic chucks with thick elastic for hooking around the back of your car seat, two plastic buckles for attaching to the seat back gap, and metal hooks that can be hitched under the seat. The front of the seat cover is elastic, so it hooks over the edge of your seat. It also has small pockets for keeping items like your smartphone or wallet. The foam padding feels dense and has a medium thickness, so it won’t give you HBS (Hot Butt Syndrome)!

The Kool Kushion Full Seat Cushion comes in two-toned faux leather or microsuede in black or beige. The design blends in with most car and truck interiors, and the combination of back and bottom support provides total comfort. This car seat cushion has a medium-thickness layer of foam, perfect for people who need a little something extra for long drives. The breathable cushion interior is made from 100% polyurethane foam. Two elastic straps around the top back portion of the cushion secure the cushion to your seat. The straps stretch enough to accommodate a range of vehicle seat sizes. If you’re looking for a touch of extra support while you travel, this full car seat cushion should do the job. If you get seriously squirmy after some time spent in the seat, a thicker cushion may be a better choice for keeping off aches and pains.
