Zone Tech BLACK Wood Beaded Seat Cushion

Awesome in summer on leather seats, surprisingly comfortable

Great purchase, easy to fit. Very comfortable. Helps relieve sweaty back as well.

The supplied strings are flimsy and the headrest portion kept slipping. They are only good for figuring out how to place mat by holding it while you actually secure it properly. It takes a bit of work, but is worth the effort if you figure out how you want it positioned and then:1. use 550parachute cord (flash the tip to a point) thread the 550 through the row of beads where seat meets headrest (6 beads on mine) and tie it down with a square knot secured with a half hitch and flash the tips, actually put a piece of cardboard between seat to protect cushion from hot nylon dripping and press melted nylon flat into the halfhitch to prevent loosening.2. With you next length of 550 run through the topmost row of beads of headrest portion, leaving two working ends extended from each side. Run working ends under headrest posts, bring up through first bead in each edge where beads taper out, then coming from side of headrest, bring 550 through top of a vertical bead. (Visualize cross tying a load of cargo) Preset both sides as you will have to tie one end to a overhand knot and flash/press stick, you will have to compress headrest, raise bead mat and shimmy knot upwards simultaneously until it is tight enough that bead will tension lock knot, then flash/press stick. You should be done.I found the length was too short so I actually pulled bottom out through gap in seats. And have no bead butt prints on my clothing.

I don’t like to sweat and stick to my leather seats during summer in Miami since my older vehicle just doesn’t blast the cold AC as it used to. This keeps me off the hot leather and allows air to circulate underneath me. I hope the black beads don’t start showing wear with the color eventually rubbing off; time will tell. It’s a simple installation but the attached strings don’t work (too short and not in the right position) so the headrest is lowered to snug it at the top. Those are minor things. The overall product seems sturdily constructed and I’ve been pleased with the immediate relief of sitting directly on hot leather seats; I am much more comfortable and don’t have sweat marks on my clothing when I exit the vehicle. I am glad I purchased the product.

Pretty decent overall, but the product is not quite as images show- the narrower part (versus the wider “base” you sit on) is quite long- so you don’t get good width coverage for much above your kidneys. This also puts the tie strings about half way up the seat back. Overall I am fine with it but figure someone else may benefit from this information.Additional info as have used product for a while- quality overall is lacking. Second day of use saw the knots moving, which has caused the beads to shift. Beads also “shedding”, putting small fragments and paint onto the upholstery. Looks like we are back to trying to find a suitable and qualityproduct...
