The SKWOOSH Travel cushion uses patented TekPad gel technology to relieve pressure on the sitz bones. Relieving pressure helps reduce tingling, numbness and soreness in the lower back, legs and rear, caused by long hours of traveling. The Travel Cushion weighs only 8 ounces and when folded, is smaller than a magazine so it fits easily in a briefcase or carry-on. The SKWOOSH Travel cushion delivers more comfort in a convenient, compact package than bigger, bulkier cushions.
