The Concept2 Deluxe Seat Pad is a specialized accessory designed to provide an extra layer of cushioning for users of indoor rowing machines. Constructed from high-density materials, this pad is intended to reduce discomfort during long-duration rowing sessions. Unlike standard pads that require messy adhesives, the Deluxe Seat Pad features a non-slip design that stays in place during use while remaining easy to remove and transport.

Performance Benefits
Extended Comfort: The added 1/2" of padding helps alleviate seat pressure during long steady-state rows or marathon-distance efforts.
Hygienic Design: Because it is easy to remove and clean, it is a great personal accessory for athletes who use public or shared rowing machines.
Stable Interface: The neoprene and synthetic rubber construction provide a high-friction surface that prevents the pad from sliding around on the plastic seat during the rowing stroke.
Zero Residue: Since it doesn't use tape or glue, it preserves the original condition of the rower seat, making it perfect for home users who share a machine with others who may not want the extra padding.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: Wipe the pad down with a damp cloth and mild soap after every use. Allow it to air dry before storing or placing it back on the rower.
Sanitization: For shared use, a standard gym disinfectant wipe can be used to maintain hygiene.
Storage: Store the pad flat when not in use to prevent the neoprene from taking a permanent crease.
Debris Removal: Occasionally check the underside of the pad for dust or chalk buildup, which can reduce its ability to stay securely in place on the seat.

Manufacturer Warranty: This product is supported by Concept2's standard accessory warranty. Please refer to Concept2's documentation for specific terms regarding manufacturing defects.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does it stay on if there is no adhesive? A: The synthetic rubber material on the bottom of the pad creates enough friction against the plastic seat to stay in place during the forward and backward movement of the rowing stroke.
Q: Is it very soft? A: No. This is a firm 1/2" pad designed to provide structured support and pressure relief rather than a "pillowy" feel.
Q: Will this fit the Rogue Echo Rower? A: While designed for Concept2, the seat profiles are similar; however, official compatibility is guaranteed for Concept2 RowErgs and Models A–E.
Q: Can I wash this in a washing machine? A: No. Hand-cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended to preserve the integrity of the neoprene and rubber materials.
