When I learnt to drive, there was one in the car, and I have to say it was quite comfortable. I wouldn't get one though!!

Noticed in Singapore lately that they're quite popular with many taxi drivers - even though their cars are air-conditioned. Maybe something in it.

OUCH!!!

There was one in the car i learnt to drive in too, and it hurt! think it was there in the summer to stop the seat getting icky with all those sweaty nervous bodies!! YAK!

Plus when you get out of the car you have deep red indentations in your skin! not a good look, unless you go for the matrix thing!

My dad had one in his car because he suffered badly with Sciatica and he said it helped as it aided bloodflow.
As long as you don't use it wearing shorts you should be fine.

The big downside with them is that people have been known to "submarine" under their seatbelt if the ystop suddenly or hit something. You often find cars advertised as having anti-submarine seats and this means that the seats have been designed in such a way as to prevent "submarining" unlikely.
