I have 4 of the low back folding seats sold by West Marine (https://www.westmarine.com/buy/west-marine--go-anywhere-low-back-seat-2--10 385656?recordNum=2) on my 38 instead of cockpit cushions. WM regularly puts them on sale at 2 for $100.
Laid flat they substitute for cushions on top of the cockpit lockers, two of them folded up will fit on the flat spots in the aft corners of the cockpit behind the wheel for a more comfortable helm seat, I've laid one on top of another and partly folded the top one against the forward cockpit bulkhead to get me above the bridge deck traveler when I want to take a nap, and they occasionally end up on the foredeck or cabin top as seating for guests or suntan cushions. They are very flexible. Big drawback is that 4 of them pretty much fills up the quarter berth when stored below. Small drawback is that there is no way to fix them in position when on the sides of the cockpit and one needs to be careful when coming down from deck to cockpit that they do not slip under foot and cause a fall.

I have seen various types of folding chairs at Boat Shows and Amazon. Have people had good experiences with any of these products that they can recommend?
