Reply To: Airplane Seat Cushion Ideas for Disabled Fliers
My cushion is a Jay J2. If I remove the whole thing, it is like a booster seat and my feet don’t touch the ground. There is a gel pad inside, but even when I tried this it didn’t seem to help. I think because the J2 is molded and the gel pads stay in the bum area, but when put on the flat seat, it just spreads out and loses its usefulness I guess.

I tried bringing a small folding footstool as well, but it just made the stuff my poor carer was lugging around even more bulky…
Yeah, I wish the backrests could recline more more…
