"I received the 1" seat cushion…exactly one hour prior to my departure. Thanks for the great service. I put 20-hours on my C-150 flying from Ft. Lauderdale to the Nashville, TN area. Did 6-hours in one day. Your seat is exactly as advertised."— K.S.
"As a pilot with a bad back, I recently purchased your SoftSeat® portable cushion with the lumbar support. However, before getting the opportunity to test it in the plane, I set out on a 4,500 mile road trip to Alaska. This was a trip I would never have considered, but as a former customer, I had absolute faith in your company and its products. That faith proved to be well founded. I made the entire trip without any back discomfort (including using the cushion on a commercial flight home to Kansas City).
"I recently had a business trip to Natchez, MS, which is 552 miles from me. My wife could not go so I decided to take my 1940 J-3 Cub. I did not know if my 50-year-old body would react the same as when I was 30 so I ordered one of your portable cushions. Each way was 9 1/2 hours with five stops. I used to say after a long trip I was sitting on a fence post after two hours. This trip was great with little discomfort." — B.R.
