Any idea how to repair "Bottomsiders" cushions?

These navy blue cushions are less than five months old and I noticed a small tear along the edge of the starbord cushion. The beige of the foam really stands out and makes the otherwise great cushion look terrible. I'm not to sure how it happened...the cockpit can be a busy place in these gusty spring winds. The bottomsiders web site doesn't seem to work. . .Has anyone else had success repairing small tears? How?

How about mouse holes? Do they count?

Bottomsiders are so good that the mice like to eat them. Seriously, we had a mouse eat a couple of holes in one of ours. I got ahold of the folks at Bottomsiders and they sent us some touch up vinyl paint.

Bottomsiders web site

Their site is working - it's on this server! Try: http://www.bottomsiders.com If you bought them from us, call Karisa at 206-932-7245 ext 2# If you didn't... shame on you. But you can reach BottomSiders at 1-800-438-0633. they shouldn't be too hard to fix.

Do they stick to you?

I was wondering how comfortable the bottomsiders are. Do they stick to you in the summer or are they about like the texture of the cushions that you buy from Catalina? Also, do the stern rail seat cushions have snaps on them? If not how do you keep them on the rail seats, velcro? The cushions I currently have came from Catalina and the padding cover "rolls" over the padding and the whole thing losses its shape. I want something that maintains its shape, yet doesn't get up with you when you stand!

The bottom siders are very similar to the really good pool floats, they are foam covered in Vinyl. I'm down on Lake Grapevine and have had the bottom siders on both of my boats, I don't find that they stick to me either under sail or when just relaxing at anchor. Regards. Bruce. Neon Moon

I had a small split develop in the edge of mine. I called BottomSiders and they sent me a small bottle of glue to fix the split as well as a small bottle of the touch-up color to cover any eyesore. I have had mine for 6 seasons and very pleased with them. They are comfortable and easy to clean.
