My husband bought a new truck a couple of years ago and he could never find a comfortable seating position, especially for a long drive. I bought him the Dr. Scholl's massager this Christmas to use as a seat cushion in the truck since it was one of the best priced cushions with an adapter plug "thingy". He absolutely loves it! An added plus is the heating feature, especially for the 3 degree Ohio weather. Highly recommend this product!

3.0 out of 5 stars Back is OK, legs are NOT, June 5, 2007

This is a vibrating massage. The heat is not very hot....and when you turn the heat on, it lowers the vibrating. It does not reach the neck area, but does a pretty good job on the middle and lower back. The leg massage is VERY uncomfortable. If you have fibromyalgia it will hurt to sit on this! My hubby who does not have fibro even said the leg things dig into his legs.......... I took ours back to the store and am searching for a back ONLY massage seat for the car..........

My problems are in the neck area. There's not a product designed made to properly reach my troubles; many are not even designed to work in a car, where the choice of seating is far more limited. I especially have trouble with the general design of "headrests", which for me are not in the least bit restful but rather force my head forward, and my neck into a destructive and painful position, due to my unyielding (to say the least) cervical fusion.

I bought this planning specifically to retrofit it to my individual needs. I practically ran to my car with the massager and instructions in hand, and there raised it up higher in the seat to be able to reach my neck, forfeiting the "thigh massage" feature. (I haven't had any major surgery on my thighs; they'll be alright.) Then inserted a firm pillow in between the otherwise concave neck area of the headrest, and the massager, and strapped it all down; got it running and made fine tune adjustments until it was reaching me well. Once in a while I have to pull it up in the seat but not very often (these results probably vary based on the way you get into your car). This setup is really helping to relieve some of the stiffness that develops in my neck during a stressful day at work (which is really every day), and if it gets really bad on some days, I go out at lunchtime instead of my usual staying in, get some or other errand done, and come back de-stiffened and de-stressed from the drive.

If the straps gave out, or the motor died, after some or another amount of time, I would not be the least bit angered. I'm thankful for the bit of relief, the accessible and timely relief, that it gives me, and if I had to replace it once in a while .. if I had to replace it 3 times a year, that would still only be a hundred dollars a year for an incredible amount of comfort -- for someone who really needs it. When my neck gets stiff, and I literally crumble in pain, my posture suffers and the problems get worse. So.. it does save me a little.
