I'm not a professional driver but do make 4 hour trips up into Ohio every few weeks. My 2012 Ram is a great running truck with comfortable seats but even so I had butt "tingles" when I got to where I was going. Then I saw Dale Clay recommend Purple & thought why not? so bought the portable version. It made a world of difference, definitely money well-spent. Glad to see you echo Dale's opinion of it, also. Stay safe out there.
It's been a big help to me. I've put the thin one in my pickup truck, and now use the thick one in my desk chair. I'm at the moment no longer in the truck, but teaching orientation. Thus, I spend a lot of computer time.
Come on you cheap truckers lol !!! Seriously it will be the best investment you can make , bought mine at the TA east of Columbus and started liking it couple miles down I 70......loved how it felt the 128 miles to the Indiana line ..... waited for the BIG test .... I 70 across Indiana .... Indiana has horrible roads !!! I hit bumps that almost knocks the steering wheel outta your hands ......I swear to god .... I didn’t feel ONE problem and that’s going over one that your truck and trailer hit at two different times .... this thing is the REAL deal !! If you drive a truck ..... you gotta try one of these !!! Like he said .... if they could only make it a couple inches wider ..
I just started using the ultimate seat cushion from purple and the back cushion best investment especially sitting working day and night truck driving.
I saw that exact one without the cover at the Petro last night in Dodge City, Al. They had it on display and I tried it out in a chair they provided and was wondering how good it would be. Thanks for the review! I need something in this truck!
Great review as always! I use mine by Everlasting Comfort for a year now and it saved me from pain in the ass haha :)) Literally! It's the most reviewed memory foam seat cushion on the internet!
I bought one about a year ago I liked it but Im bigger than you so it would have definitely been better if it was a little wider, but still a good product especially if you were gonna be riding most of the day.
Thank you sir for the honest review, do you recommend the ultimate model or the double for a car seat mostly? i can tell the ultimate kinda huge and thick and wondering is the double version much smaller ? Do both provide same comfort or one better than other ? And have you ever had ever noticed any deformation or melting issues if was left during a summer season, cheers 🍻
Costantine, the Ultimate is too thick for my car seat, but it works great in a truck. I use my thinner model everyday on my chair since I'm now in the office working in Safety. I've never seen any of these deform in any way due to heat. Thanks!
Nice video as always Craig....that looks like it will be really comfortable for you Craig...last year when the wife had a few too many wines,I talked her into buying me made to measure leather seat covers with a lovely cushion in them ....makes driving long distances a pleasure.....
My mom is 60 years old and is a tanker driver for Snyder and I don’t care about the price I’m just looking for something that will relieve any pain in the seat for her. Do you think this is the best or is there something more expensive that’s better? Thank you, Sir
I highly reccoment they 2 inch one. I’m an office worker with increasingly worse back pain. Coworker has one and I used it yesterday. Back pain was gone after one day! I am ordering one now
Craig Ryan ,bought one from CVS . Not a purple ,but it works well. Makes a big difference ,less pain when I'm walking very comfortable when I'm driving. Best $20 I've spent .
Craig have you considered getting one that paraplegics use in a wheelchair a gel one. l bought one to use while sitting in a bulldozer for 16 to 20 hrs a day. best money l ever spent and my cat has a 4500 dollar seat in it better than any truck on the road. just something to consider when you want comfort or have back issues.
I read your description and all i gotta say is, the art teacher is the genius in this life because its not even a job, its a lifestyle that revolves around inspiration and passion. 99% of people love their art teacher and art class. You sir got an A+++ in life. And you even were the wise man that decided to make money while seeing the country. Takes tru grit to step in a big rig. I admire you.
I bought the thickest one you can buy it’s a dream, you’ll need to rotate it after about 4-7 hours. I just kinda stand up and rotate it or move it around
I have had one for about 4 months. It is comfortable but TOO SMALL!!! I have to situate it perfectly on the seat to utilize it or my butt falls off one side or the other. Then when I cleaned the cover I noticed that the actual purple material was TOTALLY FALLING APART. NOT HAPPY. BTW...I only weigh 180 LBS and its too small.
They can't be kept in cars. If they hit over 105deg the structural integrity is diminished. They seem to be better than the competitors but not hard to justify the price. Unless you're suffering bad you can probably get something cheaper
These unsponsored, honest reviews are the best! Thank you!
You're right!
I see these at Iowa80 and Joplin44 and wanted to hear from another driver before I pulled the trigger on it. Good to see a review!
Glad it helped!

Are you sure it wasn't Dodge City, Kansas... who was the salesman? Festus?
Craig Ryan, lol! It was Dodge City/Hanceville, Al. They probably thought I was Festus! 😂
Neil Shane Otts GET this !! You will NOT be disappointed !!! And it does come with a cover in the box
Great review as always! I use mine by Everlasting Comfort for a year now and it saved me from pain in the ass haha :)) Literally! It's the most reviewed memory foam seat cushion on the internet!

My only complaint is the width!
I'm glad you made this review because I see this at TA each n every time and wonder if I should buy one.
I use the two versions I have all the time.

Your wife is a good gal!

Yes, I think they are the best.
Great video, a pleasure to listen too. Please make a review of the 2 incch one
If I get it I sure will!
Craig Ryan did ya get it?
I highly reccoment they 2 inch one. I’m an office worker with increasingly worse back pain. Coworker has one and I used it yesterday. Back pain was gone after one day! I am ordering one now
do u think it would work well in a pick up?
I use the thin one I bought for my pickup. The big one might raise you too high off the seat, you'll have to think about how tall you are etc.
Started driving a fork lift and I need one badly . Amazon has the Royal version for $54 .
It would probably help!
Craig Ryan ,bought one from CVS . Not a purple ,but it works well. Makes a big difference ,less pain when I'm walking very comfortable when I'm driving. Best $20 I've spent .
You still using this cushion? Did it ever melt from being left in the truck?
Never has melted. I have another in my pickup truck and never a problem with it either.
Thank you very much man, fantastic review.
Hope it helps, thanks!
thank you for the review it really helped me out
Nice to hear!
What did you buy it for, you never say. I'm looking for something for sciatic nerve pain.
A change and to cushion my tail bone!
I bought one at the Petro for $90 about 3 years ago. Is the best investment I made
Great to see it's lasted well for you. Worth the money.
Maybach Mike that’s a BIG 10/4 !!!!!
Craig have you considered getting one that paraplegics use in a wheelchair a gel one. l bought one to use while sitting in a bulldozer for 16 to 20 hrs a day. best money l ever spent and my cat has a 4500 dollar seat in it better than any truck on the road. just something to consider when you want comfort or have back issues.
Thanks Perry, good idea. I'd sure hate to sit in a bulldozer 16 hours!
@perry which gel cushion did you bought? I searched on wheel chair cushion and got a whole bunch of them.
Having it for a while now... how has it kept up? Would you still recommend?
Yes!
I have it and it's not enough for me, Im Wondering if the stack up
Does it help with that terrible tailbone pain when driving for 7 hours plus
Yes, I believe so!
I may try it - But also, you must exercise & walk & stretch! I'm so desperately in pain😖
Mine last about five years. Fantastic cushion!
Seems pretty sturdy to me also.
My first day of trucking and my azz cheeks feel flatter than a pancake. Definitely going to order this !
I wouldn't truck without it!
Do you know of this has helped to relieve prostate pressure when sitting?
I think it would.

I bought the thickest one you can buy it’s a dream, you’ll need to rotate it after about 4-7 hours. I just kinda stand up and rotate it or move it around
Yes, and now and then run without it.
@@CraigRyan tried my back got all ducked up
Using my Purple Ultimate Seat the #4 Thickness & the Bed is Boss
I think I'm gonna pick one up today!
I know they are expensive, but I truly think it works for me driving the truck.
I got a purple seat cushion commercial trying to watch this
Pros and cons?
I'm on a loves starring at one and you sold me on it, my bum is on fire at the end of the day
I hope it works out. I found it best to alternate between using it and then not using it.
Thank you for your nice honest review
Glad it was helpful!
Does the cover come with it?
Yes.
I have had one for about 4 months. It is comfortable but TOO SMALL!!! I have to situate it perfectly on the seat to utilize it or my butt falls off one side or the other. Then when I cleaned the cover I noticed that the actual purple material was TOTALLY FALLING APART. NOT HAPPY. BTW...I only weigh 180 LBS and its too small.
Did you get the big one? The smaller one is very small for a truck seat.
They can't be kept in cars. If they hit over 105deg the structural integrity is diminished. They seem to be better than the competitors but not hard to justify the price. Unless you're suffering bad you can probably get something cheaper
I've had my thin one in my car for a long time with no problems.
That does sound like a good solution to "truckers butt" thanks Craig again, for making my day!
You must be referring to Monkey Butt! Have a great summer away from school.
What about the heat? I watched a reviewer that stated it can’t be left in a hot vehicle or damage may occur.
Yes, I try to leave mine in the shade when I'm parking the truck. No problems so far.
you gotta call it how it is. Its a booty boot. And that boot is definately meant for truckin!
Yes, I don't have a lot of padding back there!
What is the exact name of model or specs? Thanks
I think it's the ultimate Emil.
@@CraigRyan i just got royal today. I will comment in couple days about it.
@@soulfighter312 do you like it?
Yes, I like it. It worth it
How is it going by now
I just bought one last night because of this video. This seat has been hurting my tailbone
Hope it's helped you.
@@CraigRyan it did. Thanks! I been using it everyday since this comment
Great review
Thanks! Glad it helped.
Can you post a update ?
Still like it!
What a gentleman 👍
Thank you!
👍👍
Thanks Denis!
Those deep grid purple numb my ass
Never encountered that AJ.
I'm not pleased with it. It seemed to make it worse for me.
Sorry to hear Jeremy, hope you find something you like better.
Don’t truckers actually make like 150,000 dollars a year because not many people wanna drive trucks all day? No offense of course
Yeah, most people just work in fast food restaurants instead, it's more fun!
Prince Groose nah in the high 80,000 a year would be a real good pay
You’ve got jokes… Some owner operators MIGHT make that, but that’s gross. Not net.
99.999 ..50.9999
right...
Never buy this; it is no use; gets cold at winter; no use; i trashed mine
Sorry to hear, I've had good luck.
It's trash. Don't waste your money.
Why? What is your experience with this product? I have no irons in the fire, I just use it. Is your opinion based on personal experience?
@@CraigRyan I mean it's comfortable for the first hour or 2 and then it just tares your ass apart
I have a purple pillow that I don’t find comfortable at alll to sleep, but I wonder if using it as seat cushion would work?
Whatever works!
I take my pillow to sit on when I drive it's so comfortable
Any thoughts on these versus sheepskin?
Sorry, never tried the sheepskin.
