Automotive Midnight Black

These are a perfect size & thickness. Velcro attached & a zippered cover to easily clean.I’m so much more comfortable !

Probably one of my best amazon purchase ever. Why these don't come with cars I cannot imagine! Put on my truck door and the other on the center console.... no more shoulder pain from driving and much more comfortable drive. Highly recommend!

Let me begin by saying that the shipping was that of Amazon Prime speeds, without actually being Prime. I was impressed seeing it in my mail two days before the earliest estimated date. I live in NH too so that is impressive.The actual product is pretty good. I have a 2008 Dodge Avenger which has plastic arm rests on the doors. Long drives would fatigue my elbow. As of right now I am only using one on the driver side since my arm always has to be raised to be on the wheel. I only went on a short trip but am happy to say that the product does just as it advertises. It collapses to nearly the height of the thing you put it on, and is very comfortable. It is made of a material that would resist water. My concern was opening the door on a rainy day and having this suck up all the moisture that lands on it. The material seems as though it would be more willing to resist the water falling on it, which is great. The velcro supplied is wide so I am also confident that this thing won't move around, at least not in the near future. I was sure to clean the area with dish soap and rubbing alcohol to make sure the adhesive would stick the greatest.The reason why I deducted a star is because I wasn't too excited about the zipper being exposed. I would have wished that you could tuck the zipper into the fabric like you can on other things, that way I can push the zippered side against the wall of the door so that it isn't exposed. The reason why I can't do that is fear that the exposed zipper would eventually scratch the plastic on the door. Another thing is that it appears cheap (it kind of was). I'm sure it will hold up for at least a few years, but when I have a polished exterior, and when I use something like interior detailer to shine up my interior plastic, this kind of sticks out. That is partially why I am only using one of the two for the driver side. I will keep it adhered though because to me, having the comfort is more important than feeling classy when cruising on longer trips.

The driver's side armrest for some reason is way too low to be comfortable, in almost every car I've driven... and my last vehicle, the vinyl got all cracked and broken where my elbow had been... even though my elbows are soft and not rough or scratchy, so I don't know why. But when I got my newest vehicle, I searched for something to help protect the vinyl and hopefully increase the height. The Elbow Friend is PERFECT!! It raises the height to be perfect, so now as I'm driving, I can relax my elbow on this cushion, and I don't have to slouch or lean to my left to reach it... it's the perfect height. It's also MUCH softer on my elbow, which makes it more comfortable as well! I also like that it uses hook & loop/velcro to attach, so IF I need to move it or remove it, I can easily.I highly recommend this for anyone who likes to rest their elbow along the door armrest, but theirs sits too low to be comfortable, or to save/protect the original vinyl, or even just want something softer and more cushion for their elbows!! Really great product that works perfectly and solves numerous issues at once!!

This wannabe Temperpedic fly weight small pad tries and misses as being useful on a ‘19 Civic. First, you have little room to place it where useful without covering door grab pass through or covering switches. Second, to secure them you must place it on vinyl, I have Alcatera fabric and it’ll ruin the latter for sure once removed, may mess up vinyl too. The hook fastener (rough) side goes on your door. It only has about 1 to 2 inches to hold onto so may be easily lost getting in/out of car unless firmly mounted to large vinyl pad area. Satisfaction (or dis) will vary by car model. Mine has room but no place good to attach it.Quality is ok, think softer shoe insert fluffy foam about the size of an old school chalkboard eraser.I’ll probably keep mine but this is just another tried to solve a problem but can’t As Seen on TV product. Good idea but won’t let elbows fully rest, just partially or piece. That means no room for other elbow friends to stop by.FYI: Where is the only place you can put one hand where it’s impossible for the other hand to reach it?Under your ELBOW!

works nice

I went from driving a 2010 Honda Pilot to a 2021 Rav4. I love everything about the car, but my only problem is that the driver's side left armrest is way too low for comfort. Also, the armrest is curved so that your arm constantly slides off it, even if you do manage to find a comfortable positions. Why Toyota??? I don't know if it's just the way I'm built or Toyota is making this car for a different body style, but it would seriously cause shoulder pain during my long daily commutes.I ordered this Elbow Buddy, not really thinking it would make a difference, but now after a year of having it in my car, I really think I would hate my Rav4 without it. It provides the perfect height and flat surface to actually use my left side armrest instead of it being an accent feature. It has also held up surprisingly well and the velcro has stayed on without slipping. 5/5 stars, seriously one of the best value items I have ever bought on Amazon.
