Zone Tech Cooling Car Seat Cushion - Black 12V Automotive Adjustable Temperature Comfortable Cooling Car Seat Cushion

So the cushion itself does okay, but it moves ambient air from in front of your seat. I live in south Texas and I needed something a little more than that, especially after getting off work and I'm all sweaty in my Nomex work clothes. I put this in my Nissan Frontier and I used 4in dryer ducting to go from the rear seat foot vent, up to the fan in the front. Push the button on your HVAC controls to shoot down and voila! It's so chilly, it would shame any factory cooled car seats! Sure, it's not stylish, but it's the most affordable cooled car seat available!

OK, wow. Just, wow. I love this thing. I drive Uber. In the South. In the Summer. It's been 105 every day. My van's AC is on max, but w the insanely high humidity levels, and my leather seats, I was sweating constantly. I needed something to get my back and legs directly off the leather, something to create some space and allow some airflow. I was looking at everything from bamboo seat covers to ergonomic pads, etc. Nothing really looked that useful, and it was all around $20 or more.Then I found this.It's only $35 and it beats the crap out of everything else I looked at.Installs in 3minutes. Lay the headrest strap over your headrest, tuck the little tabs in the rear seat crevice, twist them so they hold flat against the seat. Use the hooked straps on the front to hook under the front of your seat (they stretch, so if they don't hold on the very front, pull them over more to the side or farther under the seat and find a spot they will hook onto well), plug it in, turn it on, and relax.FYI: The fan blows air that is the temperature of the air in front of the fan, which hangs down in front of your seat. Seems like most people would realize this, bc it's a fairly basic simple concept, but I have seen negative comments dinging this bc they are driving a car w no AC and expecting this to be an air conditioning seat cover. Um, no. This thing works wonderfully well when used as it is designed to be used. If you sweat even when your AC is on, this will help solve that problem. If you live in an area with insane humidity, this will keep you from noticing, at least while you are driving.I sometimes forget to turn it on, but I remember quickly when I start dripping a few minutes after getting into my car. When I turn it on I can immediately feel the air blowing thru all the holes in the seat and back. It is so, so very nice. There is a very noticeable difference between Lo and Hi settings, and I usually just keep it on Lo simply bc Lo works very well. If I am extra hot or drippy, I go to Hi for a few minutes, and voila! Problem solved. There is of course some fan noise, though you barely notice it even on High. The air that is blowing onto my legs and back is very much cooler than my body temp, and cools me off very fast, even if I get in already drenched and dripping. Gross I know, but hey, trying to be helpfully descriptive here ;pYou can't beat the price either. This thing is comfortable & works perfectly as advertised and described. And for $35 it's a steal imo. Especially compared to the $150 version I saw on here when shopping. Geez. There is also a version of this exact seat by the same company that comes in a 2-pack for $55ish, which is a nice extra savings for these things. Especially since in my opinion, one of these is well worth $50. I would have gladly paid that much for one, it just improved my comfort level that much. So worth it. I actually wish I had gotten the 2pack now that I know just how nice and awesome these are.Anyhoo, I paid for this with my own $$. I did NOT receive any discount on these for any reason, and I hate seeing all the glowing biased reviews of people who got things for free. Sure, your opinion is your own, but you probably can't help but feel a little obligated to give a good review, especially when people are throwing free stuff at you for doing it. I bought this, and I love it. Your mileage may vary. Hope this helps.

It does actually work, so I guess that gives it 2 stars. The air blows on the seat fairly strong. That's the only thing that is good.The cord is on the wrong side. It is on the left. This is America, put the cord on the right. Finally I tied a loop in it when it became a safety hazard.The attachment cords are not very good. There was one band that goes over the seat that works, the rest of them I have no idea how they are supposed to work in my truck. For instance there is a 6 inch long elastic band with an octagon shaped piece of plastic on it. It doesn't fit anywhere. The dangling cords in front don't fit anywhere.There are too many holes in the seat and not enough in the back. Or something. The air flow in the back is almost unnoticeable.I had a wagan brand seat cover with fan thing last year and it was better except it was less comfortable to sit on, louder, and broke in 6 months.I wonder why no one just makes something that works correctly.

This is EXACTLY what I needed. The air conditioning in my car is very efficient but my leather seats are dark and get VERY hot. It's torture to sit on that hot seat and sweat with no air movement. My past 3 cars have had A/C seats. My new car doesn't. I swore that I was going to take my Audi back to the dealership if I didn't find a quick solution. Then I found this. CRISIS AVERTED! The $40 piece of magic is amazing. I can't speak to it's longevity because I've only used it for about a month. I CAN speak to the fact that angels sing when I turn it on. Even if the air in the car isn't super cold yet when I turn on the car, it's amazing to have any kind of air circulating around me.I get grumpy when I'm hot. Most of my days are spent in dresses and heels for work and I do NOT want to show up at a client appointment with sweat marks. Not pretty. I want to have a stockpile of these in my garage JUST in case. This product is awesome.EDIT: Over a year later and it’s still amazing. If I thought it was the best $40 I’d ever spent when I’d originally written this review ONE MONTH after buying it, I’m going to have to multiply that statement by a dozen now. It even survived a flood in my car when I left my sunroof open in days of torrential downpours. Not only did it protect my leather, but it also STILL WORKS like a champ. ($10K worth of damage to my car paid by insurance ...but the seat cooler still worked!!...) This thing is such a workhorse. Still amazing.

I bought this product and used it for several days, in two different vehicles. In both vehicles the air flow was a noticeable when sitting on the seat cover. I had to lean forward or lift up my legs just to feel any air flow. Really defeats the purpose of having air blown against my backside if I have to lean forward uncomfortably just to feel anything. I attempted to return the product, but the shipping was $37.64 just to ship it back. That plus the restocking fee means I would have basically bought it and threw it away. Never buying from a third party seller again.

Nice addition to my vehicle. My body runs hot, and I sweat easily. The leather seats in my car make that worse. This cooling seat cushion helps a lot, circulating air between my back and the leather. I would like to see a couple minor design changes - make the cushion back a few inches taller, and the fan a bit quieter. Otherwise I am very happy with the product.

I got this colling seat cover today, and I tried out and was very very impressed. It really does keep your backside cool and your tighs too. Very ideal to go somewhere on a hot day, and NOT used the air-con, but be kept cool is just brilliant. I do feel somewhat guily as other people have to put on their air-con which lowers thier mpg, and me with no air-con on and being kept just as cool. Even with this on I notied my mpg in my Auris Hybrid was still in the 70 to 80 mpg range. I really recommend this product, but at the moment it's sadly out of stock.

Bought as a gift so I can't speak from experience but I have been told it is very good at keeping the air cool around the driver who is delighted with it.

I bought this for Sim racing. I do endurance races and get pretty warm in the seat. Tried this for the first time yesterday with three hours in the seat. Normally I’d be really sweaty by with this I was completely sweat free! Bought a separate 12v adapter. Highly recommended.

Great for cooling and it has helped me out on those hot days.When its not hot though i remove them as they are too firm so become uncomfortable on long journeys

This seat is a nice addition to my vehicle. My car gets really hot, and my leather seats don't dissipate heat at all. This seat cusion provided enough cooling to keep my dry while in summer. When it gets 30+ degrees celcius hou will no longer feel the coolness but it still does a good job in keeping your back sweat free.Comfort wise it could be better padded but I would imagine that would defeat ths purpose it was designed for. A small gripe but overall I am happy with the purchase.The cable can be moved to any side via the pouch it sits in, and is quite long. I have it plugging into my rear 12v for better cable management.
