    Default Seat cushion

    I'm 5'6" and I'd like to sit a few inches higher in the front seat of my Carbon Cub. I understand I can get Oregon Aero to make a custom seat, but I'm wondering if anyone else has found a cushion that works well, i.e., would give me a higher vantage point, be comfortable on long trips, etc. I've looked at what Sporty's has to offer, but still looking.

    Thanks, and Happy New Year everyone!

    Hi bgillen
    We have a couple of these from Costco.

    Also look at Aircraft Spruce.

    Transform an uncomfortable hard seat with the WinPlus Ultimate Gel Seat Cushion. It can be used as extra padding at home, in the car, at the football game, etc.

    The cushion features:

    • Portable Design
    • Deluxe Memory Foam
    • Non-slip back
    • Soft, Cooling Gel Insert

    The WinPlus Ultimate Gel Seat Cushion is priced at $19.99.
    Item number 908262

    I use this Oregon Aero cushion. Works fine on the CC seat and very comfortable.

    Oregon Aero has off-the shelf "toppers" that come in various heights. 1", 2", 3", and 4" I have seen. They also have an optional little lumbar support cushion that zips onto the back edge. I have one of the 1" ones that I use sometimes when flying from the back seat to get up/forward a little. There are strips of a silicone like material on the bottom so they don't slide around.
