Deluxe comfort in a lightweight package, the Sea To Summit S.I. Seat Deluxe can be used in three configurations making it a very versatile and compact way of turning hard, cold surfaces into a comfortable place to rest.
The S.I. Seat Deluxe can be used as a long flat 2.5cm thick surface that would be squeezy for two or folded in half offers 5cm of padded comfort for one. If you are resting against a log or rock or want to add padding to the bottom and back of a hard chair, the S.I. Seat Deluxe features a fold in the centre to accommodate padded comfort for both your bottom and your back.
Handy for any hiking and camping adventure as well as sporting events and picnics, the S.I. Seat Deluxe is a compact addition to any outdoor activity.
Hi there. I am heading off to Europe again and have found that I get Sciatica pain in my back and legs, as the aircraft seat is too firm. I have a Thermarest Prolite mat that was great for sleeping on hard surfaces, and that gave me the idea this might give similar support on a firm surface. The Thermarest was the 3.8cm version and this is only the 2.5cm version. What are your thoughts? Thanks
G'day Neryl,
The Sea to Summit S.I Seat Deluxe will definately add some extra padding, however I cant advise on how it would effect your sciatica. Its designed to give abit of extra comfort when out hiking and with use on other hard surfaces like benches, etc. How it would feel on an already 'padded' surface may vary.
Can you tell me if this seat could be used instead of an air mattress to put in the sea to summit air chair - regular size?
Hi Christine,
This is a really good question. I couldn't try and fit the S.I Seat Deluxe into the Air Chair myself as we don't have any stock at the moment, so I called Sea To Summit. It turns out it's not something they had considered either, so they are going to try this and get back to me but this probably won't be until tomorrow.
My feelings, which were shared with the Sea To Summit representative I spoke to, are that Sea To Summit SI Seat Deluxe will be too thin to be effective in the Sea To Summit Air Chair, it requires the bulk of the mats to fill it out and create some structure. I'll post my findings back here once STS get back in touch.
Sorry I couldn't give you an answer straight away.
Thanks Ben. I had the same thought that it might be too thin but I have a Thermarest Z Seat I thought I could put between the air chair and the SI Seat which may give it some bulk but maybe not enough? I am looking for a really light comfortable option for my hiking. I have a Klymit Static V Luxe camping pad and a Naturehike Ultralight sleeping mat. I’m not sure which of these would fit either the regular or large air chair. Do you have any experience with either of these or know if either of them would fit one of the air chairs?
I don't have experience with either of those mats Christine, and I'm still waiting to hear back from STS regarding the SI Seat Deluxe sorry.
The best advice I can give here regarding how your mats will work with the Air Chair is to compare the sizes of your mat/s with the dimensions of the Sea To Summit mats. All the Sea To Summit mats fit the Air Chair (except the S.I. Comfort Deluxe model), so if any of your mats are close in dimensions, which they are likely to be, then there's a pretty safe bet that they will fit.
Keep in mind that there are two sizes of Air Chair, you are most likely going to find that the regular size will be most suitable for your lightweight mats.
G'day Christine,
I've heard back from Sea to Summit about it now and they've said that it won't work. Unfortunately, it's just not thick enough to suit the air chair.
