Defender has their sale going on so I was browsing through their clearance area and came across these cooler cushions. All sizes made by Todd at cheap cheap prices. $20 for this large one(44x19) but I think putting 4 together (You do the math on the sizes) and you have some nice cushions for $80 or less. The sale ends today.

I think Frank is looking at the input field for how many you want. If in doubt, order by phone and they'll tell you whether they have inventory, and if not, whether they'll honor the price for a special order or later availability. They usually do for this sale.

No, I tried to check out with two and my cart was adjusted to one due to the stock status of the item.

I've got four of the same, from Igloo. Got them when boaters world went out. I have two that are 38" long and two that are 33". The shorter ones are also less wide, so they go aft where the bench seats are a little narrower. They fit great.
I would add a piece of rug backing as they sometimes shift around. But they are comfortable, the right size and waterproof. Just cut off the side straps. The edge straps help you keep them together but the side straps just get in the way.
I also use a portable blue stadium seat for back support.

I picked up 4 used sofa cushions for a buck each or so and covered them with white vinyl, leaving a small vent for air flow in one end of each cushion. Air rushes out when you sit on them. When I made these 7 years ago, the price of 54"-wide vinyl was about $10/yard, and I covered all 4 with 3 yards, I think. The vertical cushion is a great back rest when at the helm or just relaxing, and it's held in place with 2 - 6" strips of duct tape on the rail.

I recently recovered the 2 vertical cushions, and the price of vinyl is now about $15/yard. I also added velcro attachment loops to hold them onto the rail. I had planned to have velcro straps for the original set, but it took 7 years before I got around to it!

I just love how comfortable these thick cushions are. The stanchion next to the C-25 cockpit is positioned perfectly for use as a back rest. When I get set up to sail with the tiller in one hand and a cool drink in the other, cruising around the bay on a hot summer day is truly relaxing with these luxurious seat cushions!!!

Using these big cushions is comparable to the improvement from using a queen size air mattress in the cabin to sleep, IMHO.

Happy sailing!

John - they look really comfy. I like the fact that they are full and puffy. Mine are very thin, so I have to add another seat cushion on top of the seat pads.
