Unfortunately not what I'm looking for - CarolynI found these the other day while looking for a cushion that I lost overboard. I can't differentiate the old style vs. new, so it may be a dead end lead. Good luck.

And when they were flat they were the most comfortable thing you could imagine (nap time). I also haven't seen any for years. I miss them, they really added to the quality of life aboard! Thanks, MikeCarolyn: are you referring to the seats that West was selling about 10 years ago that stored folded in half and sold for about $50 new? If so, I haven't seen one of those for years. I thought those were clearly inferior to the Sport-a-Seats, both in comfort and durability, although because they folded completely in half, the West was sure easier to store and carry around. Anyway, it seems that West replaced those seats with a model that is much closer to the Sport-a-Seat in looks and function.
Hope you find what you're looking for!

I found some adjustable seats on eBay after all this time that actually look like they might be worth taking a gamble on. BUT, I can't find Sport-A-Seat after a Google search. Where might I find them?I have to say that in the 15+ years I have owned my boat, I have bought many doohickeys, gadgets and whosamawhatsists, all in an effort to enhance the sailing experience. The only things that have ever really brought a smile to my wife's face have been the Sport-a-Seats. She really loves those things. She takes one to the foredeck to sack out while at anchor; she uses one in the cockpit to stretch out or to just get comfortable. If you haven't tried the Sport-a-Seat, I highly recommend it. The foam is thicker than the old West Marine seats, and I found it more comfortable. And there is no question that the frame and hinge mechanism are more robust. You do have to store them flat, there is no storage pocket, and they are more expensive, but I've had my Sport-a-Seats for over 10 years and aside from some wear in the Sunbrella covers, they are as comfortable and useful as the day I bought them.
I just ordered two! Can hardly wait to get them ~ Carolyntry here www.sportaseat.com

I don't like them as they are smaller and not as comfortable as the old WM Go-Anywhere lounger. I'll be returning them. The search continues...Let us know how you like them.
