Numb butt, need a cushion

[PotatoLake]

Any of you have advice for a super cushion to put on top of my kayak seat? Mine is so hard my butt goes numb after an hour of fishing.

I use a bleacher seat

Throw cushion - then you got a standby if your PFD fails.

Great minds think alike...I'd throw this on. Got it at DSG for like $5-$10.

I like the self-inflatable butt pads they sell for hunting. They look like a mini Thermarest and they are nice because you can vary the inflation level to vary the feel. Over the course of the day you may add or subtract a bit of air to shift the ‘hot spots’ around.

 

I have also used the bleacher seats and they work well. They do shift my center of gravity up just enough that it is noticeable. I am a big guy in a kayak that is nearly maxed out, so that may be part of it.

I was standing in line at Costco staring at my gallon of ketchup and stack of eggs when I looked up;  there it was.  A seat cushion for office or car. It was $15 I think.  I fished 9 hours straight last week and my butt was happy.  Zero soreness.  No hotspots or swamp-butt.  It’s a memory foam thing that I tied into place with paracord.  It never moves.  I added a lumbar support and my kayak seat is like a throne.

I tried one of those. It didn’t help me. 
I raised my seat quite a bit and that helped .

That’s glorious, I’ll check it out next time I’m at Costco.
