[Car Accessories] Report on how the rotating 3COINS cushion reduced my physical burden and stress
During weekend shopping, I visited three stores. I noticed the strain on my lower back each time I got in and out of the car during these movements, so I decided to try the rotating CAR cushion from 3COINS. The result was a surprisingly smooth range of motion in my body. I will report on this experience.
Weekend shopping can be more exhausting than expected due to getting in and out of the car

Weekend shopping. After going to three places: a supermarket, a home center, and a shopping mall, by the time I got home, I felt somewhat heavy in the lower back… Have you had such an experience? Was it because I drove for too long? Or because I carried too many bags? No, it may actually be that the repeated action of getting in and out was slowly taking its toll.
The rotating cushion helped alleviate such small stresses. It may look plain, but once you use it, you can feel the difference… so I will report on it.

In a vehicle with a bit of height, like a minivan or SUV, you need to twist your back when getting in and out. Each individual movement may seem trivial, but when you visit 3 to 4 places during shopping, the accumulation of those small movements starts to become a noticeable burden. Especially when carrying bags or frequently getting in and out of the passenger or back seats, the strain becomes even greater.
I found a rotating cushion at 3COINS

At just the right moment, I came across the "Rotating CAR Cushion" from 3COINS. At first glance, it seems like an ordinary seat cushion, but its feature is that you can rotate your body to change direction while seated. I was half in doubt, thinking, "Will it really be effective for 1650 yen?" but it turned out to be more comfortable than I expected.
You can get out without twisting your waist. Just that makes a difference

What I felt when I actually tried it was the ease of not having to twist my waist. As my body naturally rotates towards the door while on the seat, I can smoothly get out of the car with my legs together.
By not having to take awkward postures when getting out, the burden on my lower back and hips has clearly been reduced. Especially towards the end of shopping, by the time I stopped at the third store, it's a big difference that I no longer feel the heavy, sluggish sensation in my lower back as I did before.

Even while driving, it doesn't shift much and there's no stress, "the burden on my body has lightened"

Another thing that was good was the stability while driving. Since it's a type that uses a stopper inserted between the seat and the backrest, the rotating cushion doesn't move, allowing me to sit with the same sensation as a normal cushion. I was initially worried about wobbling when it "rotates," but it was solidly fixed more than I expected, giving me a sense of security.

I can't say whether this cushion is a must-have item for everyone. However, I definitely felt a change that made me realize "the burden on my body has lightened" during scenes where I got in and out of the car multiple times while shopping. There isn't anything particularly special about its functions; it simply "rotates." If that alone can change the way I feel tired on weekends, I felt it was well worth it.
Small innovations support the comfort of the weekend

In the limited time available, I want to take care of family obligations while also enjoying my own activities. For those action-oriented individuals, this is an item that helps keep you moving effortlessly. There’s no need for expensive equipment or large-scale renovations to reduce the physical burden. I truly felt that these small considerations change the ease of movement in our daily lives.
