Rowing Machine Seat Cushion (Model 2) for The Concept 2 Rowing Machine with Custom Memory Foam, Washable Cover, and Straps- Concept 2 Rower, Recumbent Stationary Bike, WatterRower Seat Pad

After reading many reviews for many similar products, I decided the thin pads or pads with cutouts for my butt bones would not provide adequate padding or comfort, which is what I was looking for. I found this cushion that had all the features I was looking for and had a thickness that seemed adequate. I have been using it three times per week for the past month and can report that it performs admirably. It is easy to attach and adjust, stable on my Concept 2 rower and is removable if it needs to come off. The fabric cover is sturdy and does not bunch, crease, slide or fold. There is no sign that the cloth cover will stretch and distort the way it is positioned to surround the cushion core and the seams are still perfectly aligned with the core. It does not slip and the edges don't overlap the edges of the rower seat. I was concerned that the cushion might be high enough that it could allow tilting and a feeling of instability when I rowed or could distort my rowing motion because of the height but neither is true. I would buy it again if necessary and would recommend it highly to anyone looking for a soft Concept 2 rower seat. Other seats cost less but this is a very good value for the way it performs and well worth the difference in price.

A great supportive pad for rowing. I like the non-skid material on the bottom and the straps which secure it to the seat on the rower.I am much more comfortable rowing, and i think my technique is better with the lift of the seat cushion. I am under 5 feet tall and struggle with keeping my heels down, but with this pad, I am doing much better.

I'm glad I added a padded seat to my rower, but I may look for a thinner one. This one seems really well made and I like that you can unzip the cover and wash it. It's comfortable and makes rowing more comfortable.My nit picks are that it could be a little larger (longer & wider) overall to fit the seat and I wish it was thinner (shorter). It's really tall and doesn't compress a lot so I feel like I'm sitting up too high. Honestly I may see if I can cut the padding in half and use it.

Awesome! Easy to attach and VERY comfortable! THANK YOU!

I don't usually take the time to leave reviews, but this pad is amazing! No more chaffing! I couldn't be happier! It fits the Concept2 Model D like a glove. The pad is thick but compresses down after about 30 seconds or so. I'm about 6' tall 210 lbs and the only reason I know it's there is because I don't have any discomfort during long rows (excess of 10k meters). The top of the pad is smooth enough to allow my pelvis to roll and my butt to flex but not so smooth that I slip when I don't want to. The bottom is covered in gripping dots that prevent the pad from slipping on the seat. However, even if the dots weren't enough to hold the seat in place, the elastic straps on the bottom would catch the seat before it slipped . The seat cover is porous, allowing the pad to get wet with perspiration, but I remove the cover between sessions to allow the pad to dry. The cover appears to be easily durable enough to withstand this. I have not washed the cover yet. Well done!

I don’t use it for the rower but for all other machines at my gym where the seats are just worn down and dig into my sit bones and glutes. i tried one similar in the $20 price range and it just sunk immediately; this one does not it stays raised and is comfortable and not too firm. i would highly recommend spending the extra money on this one compared to a cheaper one in the $20 price range.

Love it works great

I have very boney butt and it would hurt after a couple of minutes on my new rower. I research a lot of pads and purchased this one. It was okay but it raises you up pretty high and it wasn't that much more comfortable. So I purchased the Home and Rowe silicone seat. I liked it better than the 2K seat because it was not as thick and it's unique shape lets you adjust where your butt makes contact, so you can adjust the pressure points. It's pretty good. But I thought there must be something better, at least for me. Next I purchased the Hornet Watersports seat. It's made with polyurethane foam. It's fairly thin and it shape is similar to the Concept 2 rower seat. I can't tell you why, but for me, this one was the most comfortable. It has just enough padding to take the edge off my butt but thin enough not to significantly change your sitting height. I suspect pad choice is personal but the Hornet Watersports seat worked best for me. Also, it was the least expensive of the three.
