Cushion upgrades to custom latex and waterproof nautilus marine vinyl

[rideadeuce]

Finally, I upgraded my cloth to marine vinyl that is waterproof, looks and feels like leather to me. Latex foam with Muslin wrap for cushion. Cushions are noticeably heftier and more comfortable. Looking forward to using the them. Bonus, I can use the old back pillows to make up the king bed conversion without taking from the dinette. Ordered from Foamorder.com, took a couple of weeks to ship but well worth it IMO. 

Best,

Mike

Nice! I have noticed that the leather seats (maybe cloth has the same issues) slide off the fiberglass rather easily. Have you seen the same or come up with a solution? One solution I am looking into is magnets mounted inside the corners of the seats and then on the edge of the fiberglass another magnet or small metal strip for them to "attach" to.

Magnets sounds like an interesting solution. The new latex cushions and vinyl covers are actually more grippy and have a lot more heft to them. I never had an issue with the cloth cushions sliding off either, so I would be surprised if these do.

Tood & Kat, this would be a simpler solution. Prior owner had this product under our cushions and an extra roll in the cabinet! Works great, cushions do not slide at all. You want the 20" roll, not the more common 12". Kittrich is the company name and "Con-Tact" is their brand.

@rideadeuce Great upgrade Mike, and very helpful showing all the details!

Chris wants fabric color vs. a brown leather look. We are thinking of going with these (two sets) but still waiting on our purchase. I also like the increase to a 5" cushion vs. the original 4". Not sure how the backs will fit but we could tailor them shorter if needed. Just another idea! Available in many colors with good reviews:

I forgot to mention this actually came OEM with the camper.

Interesting. I had not thought of Con-tact paper.  For sure seems easier. Ours does have something similar under the cushions but it is a harder plastic and does not help at all. Thanks for chiming in @jd1923
