Default Gel seat padding for travel

I'm looking for a gel seat padding for the drivers seat. Sitting for extended periods of time when traveling is extremely uncomfortable and causes stiffness in the lower back and hip area. I figured I would ask here first, any suggestions?

I put a sheepskin on my driver seat and it made a tremendous difference in comfort. And cooler when it's warm and warmer when it's cool.

I've been eyeballing these gel seat paddings. My only concern with the cheaper ones would be that they wouldn't hold up and last long but they have quite a few listed on amazon and these had great reviews and are eligible for free shipping.

Thanks guys for the options they all look good and I will check them out. See if I can't decide on one that will help.


Forest and Cindy - where did you buy your sheepskin covers? How much?

Picked it up at Overland store in Taos, NM.
You can order them at a lot of places. Overland had really nice quality. Don't remember what we paid.

Ditto on the sheepskin. I am tall and do not want to add a cushion that will raise me even higher.

I prefer the gel seat padding if you purchase a well made one it will last a long time and do it's job well.

I have used the gel seats before and they work good.
