How can I make my airplane seat cushion more comfortable?

Question

If I'm on a long flight, my butt starts to hurt after about 4 hours or so. Can anyone recommend any cushions or gel pads or something that make your seat more comfortable during a long flight?

Answer 1

about the best you can do without bringing to much on your carrry-on is to ask the flight attendant to let you have a couple of pillows.  

Sorry, a painful butt is just par for the course on long flights.
