219.0. "CAR CHAIR CONFORT" by FSTVAX::VALVERDE () Wed Jun 27 1990 10:20

    	Have anyone tried the wooden balls that you placed it on the car seat.
This supposed to be terrific for your back?. I wondering if its really true..
Well not only that is it really comfortable for long trips, etc.

    While I haven't personally tried them,  I did give them to my brother
    as a Christmas gift.  He really likes them and considering his car
    is his office and he spends most of the day on the road, I'd say it
    was a good reccommendation.  The biggest difference he noticed was that
    he isn't as fatiqued at the end of the day.   FWIW - I got the car
    seat at Spags for $10.98, and have seen them in Bradlees for about
    $15.00, not the $35.00 usually seen in catalogs.

    Both of my parents use the car seats and really like them.  It was
    highly recommended by a friend who is a physical therapist.

    They are small enough that the 'balls' themselves do not hurt.
    
    The principal is that anything suitably 'meshy' or 'resiliant' enough
    that you can place between you and the leather/upholstery, allows
    air to circulate...which makes you *ever* so much more comfortable.
    
    The 'balls' affair also adds the attraction of adhering to the
    circulations theory...they can rotate, so as you shift weight, they
    move, stimulating circulation....you feel better.
    
    My husband, who spends 8-12 hours a day on the road, swears
    by 'em.

219.4beads, man.ORCAS::MCKINNON_JAI&#039;m a Beaver, You&#039;re a BeaverWed Jun 27 1990 15:377
    Yes, I like 'em too.  I commute 38 miles each way and they are 
    comfortable.  Adds a bit of ventilation.  I also have a physical
    *terrorist*/therapist who says they're okay.  Plus, If you drink
    any thing while driving;-) and spill some it goes thru the beads
    and away from your clothing.

    I like to use a Sadhu style seat cushion myself...
    
    It helps prevent falling asleep at the wheel...
