  • Foam cushions are inexpensive and lightweight. The kind of support you desire depends on the density of the foam. You may need to replace them quicker, as they tend to go out of shape.

  • Air flotation cushions have the advantage of being light and waterproof. However, they need regular air pressure checks being prone to leaks and punctures.

  • If you are looking for greater comfort, then gel cushions are what you need. They are heavier, and are likely to go out of shape for want of proper support on the sides of the cushion.
