Rowing Machine Seat Cushion for The Concept 2 Rowing Machine with Extra Sports Headband, Memory Foam Row Machine Pad-Compatible with Concept 2 Rower, Recumbent Stationary Bike, Watter Rower

I added the Fitense rowing seat cushion to my Concept 2 rower, and it’s been a game changer. The ergonomic shape contours perfectly to the hips and supports a forward pelvic tilt, helping reduce lower back strain. The memory foam eases pressure on the tailbone and minimizes numbness—even during long workouts. No slipping, no straps needed thanks to its silicone anti-slip base. And the breathable cover stays dry, even during intense sessions. Installed in seconds—just put it on and row. For comfort and value, this cushion is a standout.

Excellent pad for Concept 2. Does not slip. Comfortable. Purchased to address rubbing and repeated butt rashes from using old pad.

I purchased this several weeks ago and waited until I'd used it some before commenting. As background, I began rowing on a Concept2 in 1998 as cardiac rehab. In addition to other aerobic exercises I rowed at least 45 minutes (10K meters) 3 or 4 days a week for about 15 years. Time and gravity (as well as neck/shoulder surgery) has taken its toll and I now only row 30 minutes 2 days a week and Peleton 2 days. I found myself in need a new pair of padded rowing shorts and stubbornly refused to pay what I considered to be too high a shipping charge. While browsing for an alternative source I ran across these seat pads. I was skeptical of; the added height (2") which would likely change my stroke and be a pain in the back instead of a PITA; of the darn thing staying secure; and, whether it would be comfortable. Other reviews have commented negatively about its function and comfort on "long rows". It's likely those reviewers and I apply different definitions . I have found this seat to be very comfortable during my rows (as above) which, in my 7th decade, I define as long if perhaps not in time at least distance. I was pleasantly surprised that the seat stayed absolutely secure when in use even when I "schooched" around some as a test but comes right up if you want to remove it. I admit the added height was a bit "funny" at first but I was surprised how quickly I stopped noticing it. I did not experience a change of, or awkwardness in, my stroke even from the first use. Overall I am satisfied with this product. Unfortunately it seems I can say that less and less as time goes on. I would not hesitate to recommend this to any rower wanting/needing a cushion whether neophyte, ex-sculler or aerobic exerciser.

Thin enough but not too thin. It fits the seat of my Merach Q1S Rowing Machine. It makes a huge difference in our comfort while rowing. It was delivered to a nearby neighbor home so it took us awhile to find it after we found out that it had arrived. They even took a photo of the neighbor’s deck. There’s no way to tell Amazon that the photo was not taken at our home. So that was annoying but, the seat is great.

Fantastic addition to my rower. Cushion was densely padded, very comfortable and stayed in place. The rubber backing is 100% slip-free. Very happy with this purchase!

It fit perfectly on our Matrix rower and really helps for a more comfortable row.

This is perfect for my concept 2. It’s very comfortable, perfect shape and support and stays in place. Has allowed me to extend my rowing sessions without having to stop because of pain in my buttocks due to the hard plastic seat. This is an excellent product.

Great cushion! Very comfortable. It may move ever so slightly forward during the workout, but you'll never notice until your next workout. I always check to make sure the leading edge of the cushion lines up with the leading edge of the seat before commencing a rowing session. Happy customer!
