Driving a Compact Car offers numerous benefits, from fuel efficiency to easy maneuverability. However, the seats in these vehicles aren’t always designed for long-lasting comfort, often leading to back pain and discomfort. Since 1987, the American-made Tush-Cush® brand has been dedicated to solving this problem with its patented orthopedic seat cushions. The Compact Car-Cush® is specifically engineered to provide exceptional comfort and support in smaller vehicles, making every drive more enjoyable and pain-free. Recommended by healthcare professionals worldwide, this cushion is your ideal solution for enhanced comfort in your compact car.
Product Overview: Designed for Compact Car Seats
The Compact Car-Cush® is meticulously crafted, measuring 13 inches wide by 14 inches deep, making it one of the narrowest and most adaptable car seat cushions on the market. This design ensures a perfect fit for vehicles with smaller, flatter seating areas, including sports cars, SUVs with narrower seats, and modern electric vehicles. It’s also exceptionally well-suited for public transportation like buses, trains, and airplanes. Lightweight and equipped with a convenient carry handle, the Compact Car-Cush® is also an excellent travel companion, easily attaching to luggage or backpacks.

Key Features and Benefits for Compact Car Drivers
The Compact Car-Cush® is packed with features designed to maximize comfort and alleviate pain, particularly beneficial for drivers and passengers in compact cars:
- Coccyx Cut-Out for Pressure Relief: The strategically designed coccyx cut-out suspends your tailbone, eliminating pressure on this sensitive area and reducing strain on your lower body and spinal discs. This is crucial for maintaining comfort during longer drives in a compact car.
- Wedge Shape for Improved Posture: Featuring a wedge-shaped profile, rising from 1 inch at the front to 3 inches at the back, this cushion effectively restores your spine’s natural lumbar curve. This wedge design promotes better posture, a key recommendation from physical therapists for optimal comfort and spinal health, especially when seated in the often less ergonomic seats of compact vehicles. Raising your hips above your knees with this wedge shape significantly improves overall posture and reduces strain.
- Premium Polyurethane Foam for Lasting Support: The Compact Car-Cush® utilizes only high-quality polyurethane foam, available in Original or Extra Firm densities. Unlike latex or memory foam, polyurethane foam is known for its durability and resistance to degradation over time, ensuring consistent support and comfort for years of use in your compact car.
- Removable, Washable Covers for Easy Maintenance: Choose between plush Velour (microsuede) covers, which are 100% hand washable and quick to hang dry, or durable Faux Leather covers made from breathable vinyl that can be easily wiped clean. Maintaining a fresh and clean cushion for your compact car is simple and convenient.
- Built-in Carry Handle for Portability: The integrated carry handle makes the Compact Car-Cush® incredibly easy to transport. Whether you’re moving it between vehicles or taking it on your travels, this feature adds to the cushion’s practicality for compact car owners who are often on the go.
Dimensions and Specifications for Optimal Fit in Compact Cars
Understanding the dimensions ensures the Compact Car-Cush® will fit perfectly in your vehicle. Here are the precise measurements:
- Depth (back to front): 14 inches
- Width (side to side): 13 inches
- Height: 3-inch rise in the back, tapering to 1 inch in the front
- Weight: 14 oz.
*Please note: Slight variations in actual size may occur due to the foam insertion process. However, these variances are minimal and will not affect the cushion’s performance or fit in your compact car.
Choosing the Right Car-Cush® for Your Compact Vehicle
Selecting the correct Tush-Cush® is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to determine if the Compact Car-Cush® is the perfect fit for your compact car:
- Measure Your Seat Surface: Use a measuring tape or ruler to measure the flat seating surface where you intend to place the cushion.
- Depth Measurement: Measure from the back of the seat to where your knees naturally rest. Tush-Cush® products are intentionally designed to be slightly shorter in depth than your total seat surface.
- Width Measurement: Measure the flat surface from side to side. If your seat has raised upholstery on the sides, measure only the flat seating area between these bolstered sections.
Even if your seat measures between 11 and 13 inches, the Compact Car-Cush® is designed to fit securely and provide the necessary support. Its narrower profile is specifically advantageous for compact cars and vehicles with bucket seats or limited seating space.
For vehicles with slightly wider seats, consider the standard Car Cush®, measuring 13 inches x 16 inches.
How to Use Your Compact Car-Cush® for Maximum Benefit
Using your Compact Car-Cush® is simple and intuitive:
- Placement: Position the cushion on your car seat with the carry handle and coccyx cut-out facing the back of the seat.
- Seating Position: Sit back on the cushion, ensuring your tailbone is positioned directly over the coccyx cut-out.
- Knee Clearance: The cushion is designed to be slightly shorter in depth than your seat, allowing for ample knee clearance and compatibility with a wide range of compact car seat designs.
