Rowing Machine Seat Cushion (Model 1) for The Concept 2 Rowing Machine with Medium Thickness Dual Density Memory Foam, Washable Cover for Indoor Erg, Concept 2 Rower, Water Rower Seat Pad

I ordered this cushion after realizing that standard gel and foam pads were not going to cut it for frequent long distance erg sessions. It met and exceeded my expectations and has made a huge difference in alleviating the discomfort on my backside during extended workouts. Fits great on the Concept2 Model D seat and has little rubber grips that hold the cushion in place while you are rowing. As described, the outer cover can be removed and washed (though I have not experimented with cleaning the inner memory foam material yet). Overall this product is excellent - it provides much more cushion and support than any of the seat pads and similar products that I have found to-date.

My 1 hour rowing sessions were so uncomfortable! Continually shifting in the seat to relieve the pain. I had the seat cushion sold by the rower manufacturer, but it wasn't good enough. Then I bought this seat cover. What a difference! I'm able to row for an hour without ever shifting in my seat. No pain, no discomfort, no nothing. And it doesn't slip, which was one of my concerns. The bottom has all these really small bumps and it holds the seat cushion in place perfectly. I highly recommend this seat cushion.

Definitely an improvement over the hard seat of the Concept 2. There are some challenges with keeping it positioned so it’s centered under you, but the key is to get on it perfectly centered when you initially sit down, then don’t squirm around. You will feel if it’s off center because the edges are more firm then the circles right under your sit-bones. Very handy size, nice fabric, foam is comfortable density and feels like it will hold up well, so I would recommend it and buy it again, if needed.

I have to say I am extremely impressed with this product on two levels. First, the product itself is near perfect for what it is designed to be used for. I purchased this to use on a Concept 2 Model D fitted with an EndureRow seat. Rowing Machine Seat - Fits Concept 2 Normally the EndureRow seat does a great job of relieving the pressure in the sitz bones but I have been rowing in excess of 200k per week for the last few weeks and I have had some discomfort I have been trying to mitigate. This product is a little smaller than I thought it was going to be both in size and in thickness. Having said that it is actually much better than I had hoped for. The size is actually perfect for both the stock seat and the EndureRow. There is some textured material on the bottom that provides sufficient tack so the cushion does not move at all even during vigorous sprints. The best part of this cushion is the use of memory foam. I was concerned that this was going to be too thick and create an awkward rowing angle. What is interesting is that the memory foam actually compresses significantly providing a sufficient amount of cushion without being too thick and increasing the seat height too much. I have used this for rows in excess of 3 hours and it has proven to really take the edge off. Second, the seller of this cushion is very proactive. He has reached out to me with three separate emails letting me know how to get a hold of him, explain who he is and a little about the company. He also included a beginners guide to rowing which was thoughtful and would absolutely prove valuable to people new to the sport. I did not reply to any of these emails but I did appreciate them and they are partly the reason I decided to write this review. This seller appears to really care about the product and his customers. Bottom line, this is a great product and I highly recommend it. I have tried many options over the years to help with seat pain when using an erg and this is by far the best product so far.

Bought this rowing.seat due to the high ratings. I’m not sure what kind of machine those who left high ratings were using but there are two major problems. One, the seat is way too thick to use on a rowing machine and keep good form. Second, it just sits on top of the seat without any method to secure it in place and slides back when doing any powerful strokes. To make it even a worse experience allegedly the seller takes 30 days to issue a refund. Nor was I given the option to return the item using the same way I bought it. I had to find a UPS Store and go miles out of my way to return it. Then with multiple calls to Amazon I was given different information on every call and after representatives claiming the issue had been refunded I found out it that it actually had not been refunded at all. Ended up having to call my bank to reverse the charges. Don’t buy anything from this seller.

I bought this cushion 2 years ago to use it while erging and rowing, and I loved it, it was firm but comfortable, sinking in slightly while maintaining my posture. It was run down after 2 years so i just bought a new one and this one is awful :( it is so hard that even when I sit on it, (I am 125 Pounds) it keeps its form, it feels like sitting on a stone, I am so unhappy, I am returning it.

Comfortable for long workout

Very comfortable seat to place on top of indoor rowing seat, certainly helps with the uncomfortable original seat and for those longer rowing sessions.

Works great! So much better than a hard plastic seat, thank you

I can now row for 30 minutes comfortably with this cushion. I have to stop at 15 without it.

I love rowing, I've rowed on water and am just getting into routinely rowing on a machine, but I have always found the seats so painful, I've struggled to do a decent workout because of bottom pain, no matter how I adjusted myself or what padding (a fleece jacket or something in desparation) I've used. I bought this and IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY. There are only a few reviews in the UK, but I want to add to them! It's made rowing a joy. You sit on it, it doesn't slide off or around or make you feel unstable in any way. You sit on it, you row. And row. And row. I even got complimented on my rowing last time I went on the machine, and it's down to being comfortable and relaxed due to this seat. How it would work in an actual boat - I don't know - it should work well, but definitely on a machine - it's fab.

Fits perfectly and made my 40 minute rowing workout extremely comfortable. It’s a necessity for the Concept 2 Rower.
