1. Support Where Your Back Curves

Your lower back naturally curves inward. If the seatback doesn’t meet that curve, it can leave a gap right where you want support, even when you’re leaning back in the seat.

That’s why OrthoBase’s raised back is designed to meet that inward curve, giving your lower back a cushioned surface to rest against throughout the drive.

“I have used seat cushions before, but the seat back provides a whole new level of support and comfort.”

2. A Cutout Designed for Your Tailbone

When your tailbone is already sore, pressure from sitting can make a long drive uncomfortable. OrthoBase’s central cutout is designed to leave space beneath that sensitive area, with cushioning around the opening to support you.

Close-up comparison: a purple grid-style cushion with its cover partly folded back on the left; OrthoBase with an amber-outlined central cutout on the right.

Softness isn’t the same as space

A cushion can feel soft and still have padding directly beneath your tailbone. OrthoBase’s cutout leaves that area open, with cushioning around it designed to support you and help reduce direct pressure.

“Had broken my tailbone due to a snowmobile accident and with this, I am able to sit for longer periods of time, as it has the opening for the tailbone, so there’s no pressure on the tailbone.”

3. Will I Still Be Able to See the Road?

Comfort starts with a sitting position that works for you. With OrthoBase in place, adjust your seat so you can see clearly, reach the pedals comfortably and keep enough room above your head.

For a comfortable fit in your RAV4, Spruka recommends OrthoBase for drivers under 6′2″ and under 240 lb.

4. What You Actually Sit On

OrthoBase’s soft memory foam is designed to contour around your hips and butt as you sit, giving you a cushioned feel that follows your shape. Paired with a soft, smooth cover, it brings a little cloud-like comfort to the seat you use every day.

“This memory foam is supportive without being too firm... I weigh 273 pounds, and I am happy to say that the cushion provides excellent support without flattening out.”
