We've been looking into closed cell cockpit cushions so we don't have to bring them inside, but they seem very hard (from samples) (My wife just had a back operation and might want more cushion.) Are they really that hard?  Any softer closed cell? Or, waterproof cover for softer cushions? Kerk

-----There is another type of foam called DRY FOAM. It does not hold water at all so you can leave them out but need to have a mesh on the under side so water , if any can quickly escape.
It is sold by National Foam in  Davie, Florida

I happen to have a full set of foam cushion ( foam only )  used 3 months
for a 89 mkI
I find the a little on the soft side so my wife made me change them for regular foam. We don't need this feature as we now have a full enclosure
