Ideas to make sib more comfortable?

Mine has plywood floor. so looking at ideas to make it more comfortable for my front passenger who likes to sit on the floor. And I find its more out of the wind sat on floor.

Any sort of closed cell higher density foam is ideal - kneeling pads or similar in a 50mm thickness are ideal. Just look on eBay.

I use airflo fishing cushions on top of the tubes of my Sibs. A velcro strap looped through the grab rope keeps them from falling overboard. Very comfortable and much better than sitting on a hard bench seat or tube.

Ah ha. You have both just given me a good idea.

I can buy that sponge stuff locally. And if I cover it with some sort of covering it would work well in the front were it's shaped pointy.

Get a cheap foam camping mat or a Thermarest from any camping shop.

I bought some of these Multi Purpose Floor Mat Tiles - For Garages, Tents or Caravan Awnings | eBay
for my garage floor, handy when kneeling down tinkering with the bikes, easy to cut to the exact size of your floor and better than being sat on wood.
