## How to choose
### Choose Low-Profile for minimal added height
The Low-Profile Rowing Machine Seat Cushion uses a sports-grade PU foam core and extra-strong anti-slip fabric on the bottom. Choose it for firm 0.5-inch padding, a strap-free design, and easy portability between machines.
### Choose Anti-Slip for dual-sided grip or size choice
The Anti-Slip Cushion uses a sports-grade SBR core, neoprene exterior, and silicone printing on both the top and bottom. Choose Regular for standard coverage or XL for a larger seating surface and slightly more padding.
### Choose Thick Memory Foam for maximum padding
The Thick Memory Foam Cushion measures 13.25 by 10.25 by 1.88 inches. It has a supportive, firmer memory-foam feel that gradually conforms during use. Its added thickness raises seating height more than the lower-profile cushions.
