lumbar support

we're planning a little road trip in our '19 fit LX . the car is certainly road worthy , it's rock solid on the highway , but i cringe at the idea at spending a couple of
hours at a time in those front seats . been searching for some kind of memory foam type cushions or supports for the seats . anyone with any ideas ?

Recline the seats a few degrees back.
You'll be amazed at the increase in comfort.

Also play a bit with the adjustable height feature.

I've got one of these - memory foam with wings that flare out at the lumbar area.

I've tried a lumbar roll, but the problem I run into with all these add-on devices is that they either don't secure well, or can't be secured well and work as designed.

They all have the elastic strap & clip around the back. When you strap them in, it pushes them forward since the seat back is sculpted, not flat, so they never sit flat against the seat back.

The advantage of the one shown above is that it just sits in the cutout naturally. I don't really have to clip it around the back, because the same thing happens - gets pushed forward instead of sitting flat.

@bargainguy You've got my attention, Bargain. Could you provide a link for that Ertteo cushion? I'm not having much luck in my Google searches.

Thanks.

Have you tried the seat cushion featured in this
combo pack combo pack
?

The condition of my OEM seat is so bad it's like I'm sitting with my a** in a well.
