Are your car seats comfortable for a long road trip?
The more expensive the car, the more comfortable your car seat feels, right?
It DOES makes sense. If you pay a lot for a vehicle, then you expect more options for seat adjustments so that your back, butt and legs feel MOST comfortable while driving. (AND that your ride is pain-free). You expect the “perfect” car seat.
But then your husband suggests a road trip, a LONG road trip. Yup! He wants to start in Halifax and drive to Vancouver! 5790 glorious kms sitting in a car! At first it sounds fun, lol. Until he tells you that he only has 2 weeks off. Yikes! A LOT of driving AND a lot of SITTING!
You see, the problem with car seats, even in high end cars, is that although they have made some advancements in seat comfort (mostly as it relates to electric adjustability in premium seating), the principal design criteria for automotive seating completely focus on meeting crash safety standards, and where else would you sit in an almost frozen position for hours on end unable to truly move about?
Could your car seats be giving you back pain?
Seats structured for optimizing driving positions do not work nearly as well for maintaining proper spinal alignment. Typically, they tilt back more than regular seating and place additional loading onto your back. Most do not have refined lumbar support and the head rests tilt and force your head/neck forward causing your spine to go out of alignment. And spine misalignment can cause pain and limited range of motion in addition to headaches and numbness in hands or feet.
Why is a Sp1ke cushion the perfect car seat solution?
SP1KE™ cushions are designed to fit the vast majority of car & truck seats.
No matter how cold or hot it is outside, Sp1ke will keep the chill and heat away from your body. Think about sitting on a frozen leather seat in subzero temperatures in the morning.
On a Sp1ke cushion, you “float” on the tips, keeping you above the seat surface with the air flowing around your body. More importantly, Sp1ke activates your blood circulation to keep you comfortable.
Everyone remembers those beaded seat covers from the 60’s with the wooden balls, right? I think every cab driver in New York had one on their seat! Some drivers used the beads and threw a sheepskin cover over the beads to soften the seat. Did it work? Well, yes. These crazy beaded seats DID enhance circulation and kept you cool. But they were HORRIBLY uncomfortable.
