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 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.

Oh my goodness this rowing pad is absolutely amazing! I row every single day and I can’t believe that I haven’t found this pad before now. It is 100% slip resistant. This thing does not move. I love the comfort of the gel pad. It is amazing! Now after I finish my rowing, my butt doesn’t hurt. lol the quality is amazing! Anyone who has a rowing machine this is a must have hands down!

Fits perfectly on the Concept rower. Doesn't move at all. I think this should be standard on the machine.

Comfortable and stays in place without issue. As the seat cushion is relatively thick, it does slightly alter your leg / feet angle, but an adjustment of foot position and a couple of minutes of use can help one adjust to this.

Very supportive and stays on my rowing machine without straps. Comfortable too.

Perfect fit. Doesn't slip around.

Great product. Perfect with Concept 2 erg. Has extended my row, virtually eliminated tailbone pain.

Does not move once in place and has great padding.
