omgirl said:Any recommendations for cockpit cushions? Have looked at 'Bottomsiders' but the cost is not quite in my budget...
Also - what are your thoughts on colors? White (but will get dirty), Navy Blue (but could get hot). What colors hold up over time the best?
Thanks!
Kim Schoedel said:We went with Bottomsiders. Yep, big $ but had them on our previous boat and just can't live without them. Since we are on a big lake and not heavy sea's, the only time we experience any slipping off position of the cushions is when we are healing to 30 degrees or so. Went with the lite color. Yep, gots to keep them clean. (wipeing down the cockpit each time before setting the cushions out really helps keep them cleaner) but the dark blue would be way too hot in the summer for us. When we are on the boat they are in the cockpit, otherwise we store them in the quarter berth.
NateHanson said:We have closed cell foam upholstered with vinyl. I like it because they slip less than sunbrella, and are more durable than the bottomsiders.
Storage is an issue, but we keep them in the cockpit whenever we're on board.
I've never bought them though. Both our boats have come with that type of cushion.
