What actually matters when you choose a stadium cushion

Most stadium cushions look the same in a photo. The differences show up in the third hour of a tournament day.

Thickness with rebound. A pad that squashes flat in ten minutes is just a place mat. You want foam that springs back when you stand up, so the last game feels like the first.

Fold size. Seatboss folds to about 30 cm and 10 cm thick — too big to disappear into a bag, but the carry handle makes it easy to take along.

Weight. At 250 g you forget it is there. Anything approaching a kilo becomes a decision every single weekend.

Seat only. Backrest models are bulky, they need straps, and half of them do not fit the seat you actually get. A seat pad solves the part that genuinely hurts.

Easy care. Bleachers are wet, drinks get spilled, and hockey bags are not clean. You want a cushion that survives the mess and is ready again five minutes later.
