I'm looking for a glider friendly seat cushion maker.

The original factory cushions are a bit thin and I was wondering if another club or commercial operator has a best solution for this. Normaly I'd take the old thin cushions to a local upholstery shop for fattening.

Jeff:

Take the old ones in for a pattern, and request they use one layer of blue and one layer of pink TemperFoam, and cut them and the outer liner a bit longer than original so the cushions actually come all the way up a smidge beyond the seat top. The whole package will shrink a little over time, so this allows you to have shoulder blade padding till the fabric dies.

If you have them put a zipper up one side, you can pull them apart and wash
the covers periodically. We actually had a velcro access side, but it became stiff with UV after a few seasons.

If you really wanted to be particular, you could contact an aircraft upholstery shop and purchase fabric there ( for FAA flame retardant requirement) that you liked, to provide to your local upholstery shop.

Best wishes,

Cindy
