[Rhodes22-list] Sailboat Cushions Question

[elle]

Carol,
I have had Bottomsiders & will not have them again.
they are a fine cushion, but HOT in the sun & very slippery when wet.
I suggest a foam which will not absorb (not familiar with the dry fast foam) covered by Phifertex. Not hot, water drains through. 
Also...make sure whatever foam you use will not yellow..makes the covering appear funky.

Carol,

I have seen these at boat shows and I thought they looked great.  They're
solid so there is no issue of being water soaked or needing to dry out.

They already have the pattern for the rhodes 22.
