I use a 1.5" high density foam cushion on my ODCs cut from an old pool float. It was free, weighs about 1#, doesn't absorb water, puddle, or compress in the butt area over time. You can customize it to your soreness area. In my case, I did a cut out at the tail bone area to relieve pressure there, like you see on some bike seat designs. It is held firmly in place by a rope that goes around the seat back and can be quickly slipped on and off the seat back, if needed.
I also like TD's plastic armchair solution in particular, as having arm rests allows you to lean on them for support, put less weight on your bottom, and periodically lift up and shift around for adjusting garment stretch comfort. The only downside for me is that it doesn't pack down small, for my types of outings....
Hope this helps.

[quote fishmaker]Man, my butt got sore and uncomfortable after about 2-3 hours in my FishCat (the blue and black one.) with the thick foam seat insert. I know they make an inflatable seat cushion that inserts into the seat slot, but it is like $50 bucks plus! Has anyone figured out a cheaper comfortable cushion for this tube? Gotta be a better way..[/quote]
