TRAVEL CUSHION, AIRPLANE SEAT, TRAVEL SEAT PAD

If you've ever traveled in coach, then you know from experience that the airplane seat is typically one of the least comfortable aspects of the trip. Although most airplanes offer you the option of tilting your airplane seat back, this typically does little to compensate for the cramped leg room and narrow fit. In addition to all of this, studies have shown that remaining seated for long periods of time can have a number of detrimental effects on your body, even leading to a number of serious conditions.

Using a Portable Airplane Seat Cushion
As a person remains seated, the pressure caused from their position restricts the blood flow to certain regions in the body. Initially, most people feel a certain amount of numbness or pins and needles. In a sense, these are warning signals from our bodies telling us that potential harm is being done to them and that getting up for a walk may be a good idea.

Unfortunately, when traveling by plane over long distances, our movement options are typically quite limited. To that end, bringing a portable airplane seat cushion is an excellent way to counteract these negative effects. In essence, such cushions are designed to redirect the pressure that is being applied to the body and redistribute it to maximize your comfort.

Nevertheless, not all cushions offer the same amount of relief. Although there are a number of gel and foam options available on the market today, our Aqua Aire seat cushion has been shown to be the most effective at relieving this pressure. By using a combination of air and water, our patented design can significantly increase your comfort level during a trip, regardless if you are flying coach or first class.

Studies have shown that when individuals remain seated for prolonged periods of time, the blood flow to certain parts of their bodies is hindered. In most cases, this leads to sensations of numbness or soreness until the individual is able to get up and stretch their limbs. In extreme cases, this can lead to serious conditions such as deep-vein thrombosis, which can lead to blood clots.

Improving Blood Flow When Seated
Scientifically, prolonged seating causes compression of the perineal area of the body, which reduces blood flow to the urethra, bladder, prostate and legs. Additionally, the impeded blood flow can lead to the development of pressure sores that can cause tissue damage and in some cases, infection. When an individual gets up, there is a sudden rush of blood back to the area, which can cause inflammation or even nerve damage. Additionally, when blood flow is slowed in the legs, blood clots have an opportunity to form. These clots can then travel to other parts of the body, such as the lungs, with devastating effects.

One of the best ways to protect yourself from such conditions is to use a seat cushion designed to reduce and redirect the pressure applied to your body. Although there are currently a number of options available on the market, our Aqua Aire model has been shown to be the most effective. Its unique design, which uses a combination of water and air, redirects the sheer force exerted when a person sits and creates additional support for other areas of the body.

As opposed to gel or foam cushions, the firmness of an Aqua Aire seat cushion is fully adjustable. This can be done by varying the amount of water and air that is placed into the cushion. Conveniently portable, the Aqua Aire seat cushion is an excellent option no matter where you go: a concert, sporting event, a picnic, or simply watching television at home.
