I travel frequently and have a history with back issues. I did my research and shopped for sleep neck pillows and seating pillows to help make a difference, particularly on long flights. I depended upon published reviews and shopping reviews to make my purchase. I was on the fence with the Sondur seating pillow as it was fairly expensive for simply a seat cushion. I leaned on the reviews of others and decided to make the purchase.

I tried it at home first to ensure I knew how to inflate, deflate, adjust, and pack it up. It took a few times figuring how to completely deflate to get it back in its storage bag, but otherwise was pretty straight forward.

I just completed a 12 hour round trip using the pillow for the first time. When I sat down on the pillow initially, it was like "Meh, whatever". It felt soft, but I really didn't have much to compare it to. The WOW moment happened when the plane was taxiing after landing and I removed the pillow to deflate and put it away. Oh my goodness, the seat hardness without the pillow was extremely different than what I had been feeling for hours previously. After sitting on it for hours and THEN feeling the airline seat without the pillow, I recognized how firm (i.e. concrete) the airline seats really feel as compared to what I enjoyed with the Sondur pillow.

With each of the 4 legs of my trip, I inflated the pillow and felt comfortable throughout the flight. The pillow had me sit a bit higher than normal, but otherwise was reasonably comfortable.

In short, I did not realize what a difference the sondur pillow made until I actually tried it. The cushion it provides not only makes a long flight more comfortable, but I think it significantly dampens the vibrations and pounding I would feel in my back without it from the the airline seat.

Thanks! I’ve had hip replacements on both sides. Regular flights overseas always seem uncomfortably long, even with walking around the cabin and stretching. Having purchased a seat cushion right before mt trip 10 days ago, I’d say it is an excellent addition to my travel kit. Same long trip, same stretching etc…but time in the seat, especially those last 2-3 hours, is much more comfortable. Thanks for a great product!

I've been using this at home since I got it. I knew I liked it but wanted to test it on a longish flight too. We traveled last week on two five hour flights and our cushions were wonderful. We felt much better after the flights having used our cushions.

I am a travelling speech therapist and get to sit on ordinary hard plastic chairs in a room in a school that is free. Bought this cushion for OS travel, but finding it fabulous as part of my speech kit. Multiple uses not just travel :)

I bought a cushion for my husband, who really suffers from sitting on hard airline seats, particularly on long-haul flights. This was a game-changer for him. In fact, when we're not travelling, he uses it as a cushion on his work chair. He convinced me to buy one for myself. Now I'm hooked, and we'll never travel without our Sondur cushions again.
