Turning Pain Into Purpose
Babette Gray, Founder of SunCloud® Cushions
For most people, sitting is an afterthought. For me, it became something I had to understand, manage, and ultimately redesign.
Why I Created SunCloud®
My journey began after a childhood pelvic injury made sitting uncomfortable for much of my life. As the years passed, that discomfort followed me through work, travel, and everyday life.
I tried countless seat cushions, but I couldn't find one that provided the combination of support, durability, and comfort I needed. Eventually, I realized that if the cushion I needed didn't exist, I would have to create it.
That idea became SunCloud®.
18 Years In The Making.
18 years. 10 prototypes. One purpose.
SunCloud® wasn't created from a trend or an idea on a drawing board. It evolved through years of real-world use, testing, foam adjustments, material changes, and design improvements.
Designed From Lived Experience
Living with sitting discomfort taught me that comfort isn't one-size-fits-all. Body type, pressure points, sitting time, environment, and personal preference all matter.
That's why I designed SunCloud® cushions around flexibility and long-term use, not simply how a cushion feels for the first few minutes.
The question I still ask with every design:
Would this actually help someone get through their day more comfortably?
Comfort Should Fit Into Your Life
That philosophy has shaped everything from our pressure-relief designs and interchangeable foam options to the materials and construction we use.
I also never wanted a SunCloud® cushion to look medical. Comfort should fit naturally into your life, whether you're sitting at a desk, driving, traveling, or relaxing at home.
What 18 Years Has Taught Me
The biggest lesson has been simple: listen to the people actually using the product.
SunCloud® has continued to evolve because customers tell us what works, what doesn't, and what they need next. That feedback has helped shape the cushions we make today.
I'm proud that something that began as a solution to my own problem has grown into something that helps other people sit, work, and travel more comfortably.
What's Next
We're continuing to refine our materials, expand comfort options, and develop products around the real-world needs of the people who use them.
After 18 years, the purpose hasn't changed: create better ways to sit comfortably—and build them to last.
