Our CD25D did not come with cockpit pads and short of the anchor I still need I think they are on my #1 project list. My bony behind just can't take the hard fiberglass for a day of sailing. I have a friend that is an ex-sailmaker/canvas guy that has offered to help me with the sewing. My problem is that I cannot find a source for 2" "closed cell" foam. Does anyone out there know of a source for this material? Once we find what we need I would be glad to shoot some photos and let everyone know how a novice fares with the sewing.
Thanks!

I purchased a set of closed cell foam pads from a company called C-Cusion in Texas. Of course this was about twelve years ago. 
I am not sure if this contact information is current but....
C Cushions
206 Hwy 35 South
Rockport, Tx 78382
(800) 531-1014
They had the templates for my boat and were able to ship almost immediately. After all this time the cushions are still in great shape.

I checked with C Cushions and wow the cushions are near $600! That is overbudget for me, thanks for the lead though, they look like they make a quality product. I am in the process of contacting Beacon Fabrics for a quote for the foam. Thanks for all of the leads and I will keep you posted on my progress.

Sailrite sells 1.5" closed cell foam that might work for you

They also sell .5" closed cell which could easily be adhered assuming you're putting covers on them.

Cockpit Pads
Bill: That is just what I am looking for! The price seems more reasonable. Does anyone have any experience with their pads as far as thickness goes? I think we will try the 1-1/2" , then if that is not thick enough we can add the other 1/2". I will contact sailrite as soon as we are back from vacation. Thanks for the great lead!

Seraph, our 25D, came with a full set of cockpit cushions. I took them home and replaced them with two Sport-a-Seats. They give good back support as well as bottom support anywhere you want to sit.
