SoftSeat Options


There are 5 options to consider before ordering your SoftSeat: Base Thickness, Lumbar, Anchor, Pilot Cutout, and Color. These options, explained below, will help you choose right SoftSeat for your needs. For general use, we recommend our Standard SoftSeat Portable Cushion Base/Lumbar Combo located at the top of the SoftSeat ordering page.

1 - Base Thickness Options:


SoftSeat base thickness options

The SoftSeat base is available in 3 thicknesses: 1/2", 1", and 2" thick. The 1" cushion base is the standard recommended thickness for most applications. The 1/2" thick base is used where there is limited headroom such as in the cockpit of some aircraft. The 2" cushion base raises the occupant in situations where the existing seat is too low. All 3 base sizes offer the same long-duration seating comfort and benefits.

2 - Lumbar Options


Standard Lumbar Support

Standard Lumbar Support: This is the best option for most situations. Lumbar Support zippers to any thickness SoftSeat base. The Standard lumbar support is included with our SoftSeat/Lumbar Combo packages.

Full Cushion Back

Full Cushion Back: Moves occupant forward and features an adjustable lumbar support. Full Cushion zippers to any thickness SoftSeat base. Sewn-in adjustable straps with side release buckles allow the back to be secured to the seat. Full Cushion measures 21" high, 16-1/2" wide, and is 2" thick. This cushion is not available with SoftSeat/lumbar combo packages and must be ordered separately.

3 - Base Anchor Options:


Non-skid strips anchor

Non-Skid Strips Anchor: Our most popular option. Two strips of strapping with non-skid rubber are hand-sewn to the bottom of the cushion base. These non-skid strips help prevent the cushion base from sliding around on smooth surfaces.

Straps Anchor

Straps Anchor: A good option if you will always be using your cushion on the same seat. Adjustable straps are hand-sewn to the bottom of the cushion and secure with an adjustable buckle and two hook-and-loop fasteners.

4 - Cutout Options:


Cushion base without cutout

SoftSeat Base without Cutout: This is the standard SoftSeat cushion base configuration and is the best option for most applications.

Cushion base with pilot cutout

Pilot SoftSeat Base with Cutout: For pilot use in aircraft. The cutout is designed to accommodate aircraft controls and restraint systems. Pilot SoftSeat Cushions have proven themselves effective in both airplanes and helicopters.

5 - Color Options:


The SoftSeat portable cushion is available in 8 standard colors.

Do I really need to use the lumbar support cushion with the Cushion Base?

After years of using the SoftSeat Cushion/lumbar support and listening to feedback from our customers, we recommend the SoftSeat Portable Cushion Base be used in conjunction with the lumbar support for maximum comfort. This is why we offer the SoftSeat Base/Lumbar Combo packages.

Will the color of the SoftSeat Portable Seat Cushion fabric I select match the colors on the website/catalog?

It should be close; however, no two screens are the same. Differences in brightness and even ambient light can affect the way colors appear on your monitor or hand-held device. If fabric color is critical give us a call at 800-888-6910 to request a free fabric sample.
