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:
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: 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: 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: 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: 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:
SoftSeat Base without Cutout: This is the standard SoftSeat cushion base configuration and is the best option for most applications.
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.
Black
Charcoal Gray
Gray
Beige
Brown
Teal

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