The cushion is made for the job.
The cushion has no straps so i was a little worried it would slip or move when used, it dose not move and stays put which is superb, it does some cushioning, better than the solid seat. Im impressed thumbs up from me.

Perfect
I really like this cushion. It has rubber grippers on the bottom of the seat to hold seat in place. It gives good cushioning for my firm rowing machine seat.

Extended comfort for extended rowing sessions
I’ve done half-marathons on my rower where I had to take breaks solely because of how uncomfortable my rear end was getting. Even going an hour, I could start to feel it going numb and bothering me. As simple as this – a thick pad – it makes a world of difference. I’ve been doing hour-long sessions no problem, still as comfortable as I was when I started. Only downside is, while the grip for the seat works fairly well, I notice it moving about slightly, and I’m guessing it’ll move even more if you go a lot harder than I do for a while (didn’t notice any major movement when I was doing 100m sprints, but that’s only a few seconds), which, based off my rankings, most people do. Still, since I’m looking for endurance, and not sheer speed, this does the trick allowing me to row longer distances before getting uncomfortable.

Used on my concept 2
Takes getting used to cause the foam is fairly thick, but I love this on my concept 2. Doesn’t slip around and now I can row longer without my butt and tailbone hurting.

Rower Enhancement
Have the Concept2 rower and greatly enjoy it but any rowing over 20 minutes made my tailbone quite sore. After 35 minutes, my left leg would start to go numb. Quite hard to row with one leg. I gave it several weeks and I just never adjusted. I even switched to intervals so I could stand up during the rest interval to get blood flowing again. Not ideal but was better than the alternative.In comes the Hornet Watersports Memory Foam Cushion. I researched quite a few of these. Wasn’t sure if I wanted straps, how thick, etc. Turns out, this one is perfect for me. It’s a couple inches thick and has no straps. No straps are needed — it sits on the seat and even when I’m giving ‘er, there is zero movement.It does cause you to sit up an inch or two higher which changes the dynamic a little. I played around with the foot straps to get in the correct position. I think I’m good with that — legs feel like rubber after a decent row so that seems I’m doing something right.The most important thing though, is that it allows me to row longer. I can easily go 40+ minutes now without any of the pain or numbness I had before. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, a few times a week. It has compressed a little but not enough to matter. It still provides the same protection/comfort. I’m really glad I purchased this. Well worth the price — which, at first, seems steep for a cushion. For what it provides, I’m willing to pay.

firmly packed under
the price makes it hard to decide at first. However, after it has been tried on my machine, it turns out very satisfying, at least in 2 aspects that seem somewhat surpassing a cushion (of mine) 1/2 its price. It does not require strap attachment yet sticks admirably during the rowing – yet is easily detachable; it provides the very-welcome degree of firmness not found in the other cheaper cushion that flattens out; it covers a surface a tad larger than the original seat. In all, except for the scary pricetag, this cushion responds well on my air rower(NS-7874RW – $560) which is the Marcy equivalent to the Concept2. Problem solved!

Too high, not soft enough
Felt like sitting on a blanket covered rock. Might work better for someone heavier who can compress the foam more, but it sat way to high for me with no give.

Potential to be great; needs modification
I bought this because I row longer distance endurance pieces (>10k meters) and needed a seat pad to keep my butt from falling asleep. This is definitely the thickest pad I have tried and it does offer a lot of support but the design led to another problem. The front of the seat under my legs doesn’t compress the way the section under my tailbone does and that led to cutting off circulation in my legs. Luckily I saw another review for a different seat pad where someone had taken the cover off and used a serrated knife to slice off some of the foam to create an angled front. I just did this with my pad and it made a world of difference. I am also adding a zipper to the seat cover where I cut it to get the pad out and that will give my the ability to also wash the cover. With the modifications it seems like it will work out really well but without it I just swapped one problem for another. For the price, this should come ready to go and hopefully Hornet makes these changes as standard part of their seat pad.Update (10/2)I’ve now rowed over 100k meters since making the changes and it is SOOO much better. I really like it and the angled front completely solved the issue of cutting into my legs. I’m working my way up to marathon distances and found the zipper created even more versatility. I folded up a section of small bubble wrap and put that on top of the pad inside of the case and that made it even more comfortable when rowing for more than an hour. Putting it inside of the case means the bubble wrap doesn’t move around at all. If you’re willing do a a little bit of work on this seat pad, with a few easy modifications it can be great.

I’m not a small person, I’m a big giant Viking. I weigh 240 lbs and I’m hard of equipment. I read some reviews about this seat losing its memory foam and going flat. I row daily and I row hard for 30-45 mins on my C2 machine. Thus far the pad has held up well, its super comfy and unlike my other ergonomically designed super expensive rowing seat, this doesn’t try to get intimate with my perineum et al. For the money its a good seat, it makes the C2 seat tolerable. It works for me. I may take it in the long boat next time we head to the land of the Saxons…even vikings need some comfort before the pillage begins.

Aderisce perfettamente non si muove molto comodo fa il suo dovere vale il prezzo

 When this arrived I was a bit sceptical, as it felt quite hard (as another review had said). However, I took it to the rowing club and we had a squad 2 x 25 minute piece at rate 28. Even though I was still sore from rowing earlier in the week, I hardly felt anything. I did not need to squirm around and enjoyed the row. So recommended. It did not move about or affect my position, so all good.

Ich hatte zuerst ein Sitzkissen von MOVKACZV gekauft, das mit zwei Riemen am Original Sitz festgemacht wird, was auch gut funktionierte. Das Kissen war deutlich günstiger, aber bockelhart. Ging leider garnicht.Dieses hier hingegen paßt sich von der Form her optimal an. Guter Sitzkimfort, kein Herumrutschen. Zwar hat es keine Riemen, sondern in parallelen Wellen angeordnete Silikonstreifen an der Unterseite. Aber da verrutscht absolut nichts. Der etwas teurere Preis ist absolut gerechtfertigt. Das ist das Kissen wert. Auch die Original Silikon-Sitzauflage des Herstellers Concept2 ist schon gut, aber dieses Kissen toppt sogar das.Wer einen sensiblen Popo hat, wird von diesem Kissen nicht enttäuscht.Von mir eine absolute Kaufempfehlung!

Buen producto se adapra bien y no se mueve nada en el asiento. Tiene como una especie de silicona para no deslizar. Buenas calidades.
