Carolina on a Cloud

As a certified road warrior who lives off the grid in the High Sierra miles from everywhere, I basically live in my '22 Subaru Forester. In three years' time, I've put 100,000-plus miles on the critter. Subaru is notorious for their rock-hard seats, a recent measure to mimic European models and economize by using less padding. Miles of driving, much of it on bumpy dirt 4WD roads, put a lot of mileage on my pelvic region as well. During an interstitial cystitis flare, I called Babette's business line, having already purchased and returned four car cushions that made things worse. She called back in minutes, offered to sell me a premium cushion she had in stock at an economy price, and insisted on mailing me a selection of cushions to test drive so I could choose the cushion that worked best for me. It was obvious she was more concerned with helping me than closing a sale. When the cushions arrived, I was wowed by the high level of craftsmanship, as was a close friend who is a seamstress for the Hollywood studios. Installed in my Suby, the beautiful cushion transformed my rock-hard leather seat into a comfy pillow that removed the "ouch" factor from driving. Even if you don't have pelvic pain (but especially if you do) I highly recommend Babette's innovative SunCloud Travel Seat Cushions, Your hips, butt, and bladder will all thank you.

Hi Carole, This truly meant a lot to read. We are so glad you found something that finally worked for you, especially after everything you had already tried. That test drive approach is exactly how we wish more comfort products were offered, because every body really is different.

Hearing that it made a real difference on those long, bumpy drives and took away that “ouch” factor is everything. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience so thoughtfully. It genuinely helps others who are still searching for relief. Wishing you many more comfortable miles ahead.

This cushion has saved me. I have been looking for the right cushion to help me deal with my pelvic problem. I am sure I have bought 5-6 different cushions none of which worked. I love this cushion and have purchased more. Thank you for making these!

Very good and communicative customer service

A Must-Have

This is a travel must. It makes any surface comfortable-I take it everywhere. It’s easy to take on planes, trains and to events. My suggestion so you don’t leave it behind accidentally (it happens) is to get a colorful one. I have 2 orange ones and I love them! A lot of people comment about how it’s a good idea to have one.

Love this. It sounds like your cushion has become part of your everyday toolkit, and that’s exactly what we hope for. The orange ones are such a smart choice too. They’re hard to miss and they look great. It’s fun to hear that people comment on it because once you travel with one, you start wondering how you ever managed without it.

Thanks for sharing your experience. If you ever want help picking out another color or size, just let us know.

This is the second Travel Seat Cushion I've purchased. They are a great product from a great company.

Hearing this made us smile. Coming back for a second Travel Cushion says a lot, and we’re glad the product is helping you enough to add another to your lineup. It means a lot to know you feel good about both the cushion and the company behind it. If anything comes up, we’re always here to help.

Top Questions from Our Community

Do seat cushions actually help with pelvic pain?

Yes, the right seat cushion can make a meaningful difference for many people living with pelvic pain, but design matters. Cushions that reduce pressure on the coccyx and pelvic floor, support neutral alignment, and avoid inward compression tend to be the most helpful. We explain what actually helps, what to avoid, and why certain designs work better for conditions like pelvic floor dysfunction, coccyx pain, pudendal nerve irritation, and IC in this guide, "Seat Cushions for Painful Pelvic Conditions: What Actually Helps (and Why)". If sitting is triggering pain, understanding pressure and positioning can be just as important as choosing the cushion itself.

What’s the best cushion for pelvic pain relief?

The best cushion reduces pelvic floor pressure and supports proper posture. SunCloud® cushions are doctor-recommended for daily and travel use.
Choosing the best cushion depends on where your pain is coming from and how your body responds to pressure. We break this down in detail in our guide on "Seat Cushions for Painful Pelvic Conditions and What Actually Helps."
