Basically my seats are just lean-to's and not seats at all.  They are concave on one side and semi pointy on the other.  I raise mine to my lower back when I want it for balance in rougher water or wake from boats but it's not really for sitting on.  Luckily, no back problems so far so nice comfy seats aren't a mandate yet.

I have severe back problems. I just can't get used to sitting. I use a butt seat but every hour or so I go down to the running seats and sit for a while. gives me a chance for some coffee and think about my next plan of action.

Take a look at this:

Butt seats for now but a little arthritis in the middle of my back says we may be going to seats before long.

Just learning to fish. Have a bass tracker Pro190TX and I tend to be on the back deck.  I am not totally comfortable yet in the boat and thought about getting a casting/butt seat to use instead of the large normal seat to have more room to move around. Tend to lean on the current seat when the back is folded down. Could someone tell me the difference between a casting seat vs a butt seat?  Been looking at the Tempress Pro Casting Boat Seat due to the fact it appears to be a bit larger and has a higher back. Any input would be appreciated.

Nobody has mentioned it, but stretching every now and then helps tremendously, depending on your issue. Maybe I'm nuts but I'm not above laying on my back right on the deck and...

 

a) giving the back a good rest and some proper lower back stretches

b) getting some sun

c) resting my wrists and arms

 

Just a few minutes here and there helps me more than any chair or pain meds can, on a boat or on the banks :)

Spinal fusion several years ago changed everything for me. If somebody else is in the boat or its rough I must use my butt seat. It allows me to use my whole body to compensate for the boats movement. If fishing alone and it's calm I can use my sit down seat. The sit down seat forces me to stabilize my upper body from my lower back which is bad news quick and fast if it's rough. I can't stand to long without fatiguing and then the pain follows shortly. I can lean for as long as I want. Hope that helps.

Fourscore and six years ago...I still prefer the concave lumbar support over anything.
