Beaded / magnetic seat covers

    I do quite a lot of driving for work every week and the seats in the van aren't great. At the end of busy weeks my back tends to be in bits, so...

    Does anyone use beaded or magnetic seat covers, and do they make a real difference?

    Just hoping to find out before potentially wasting money on them.

    Thanks

    Of course they're crap. Nothing magnetic ever helps with bloodflow - why would it? If your blood really reacted to magnetic fields, the blood would be attracted to the magnet and stop flowing. None of that crap works, no magnetic wristbands, copper bracelets, beaded chair covers, none of it.

    I had a feeling the magnetic ones were pointless alright. Would a beaded seat not provide some sort of gentle massage as you moved around though? What about something like they had in Lidl the other week which has some sort of massager built-in? Anyone use them and find them useful or otherwise?

    I find heated seats the best relief. My last 3 cars have had them.

    Doing some stretches and exercise will always be far better than any sort of beaded seat.

    Although saying that, I had an Octavia before, the seats in it were bloody shocking, you'd be crippled after long drives.

    The Volvo I have now has fantastic seats.

    I've had a number of cars and find the focus (now I know they are quite common) the most comfortable car I have driven and that includes Mondeo, ,Merc etc. ;) Great high seating position and good support on the seat itself.
