What it’s like to use
A foam core draws in air when you open the valve, and you can top it up or let some out to change how firm the support is. An adjustable strap holds it to an airplane seat, an office chair or a car seat.
It is designed for portability first: it deflates to a small roll that fits in a bag. As with other inflatables, you get adjustable support rather than the fixed, deeper contour of a memory foam cushion.
