Benefits of technology

[0009]The present invention solves the previous problems of belt mounted waist worn seat cushions and others by providing a multi-use single sheet foldable seat cushion which provides a waterproof side for placement on a wet seat or grass and a soft comfortable side worn against the wearer's pants. The cushion has a pair of logos one of which appears only when the unfolded cushion is worn and another when the cushion is worn folded. The logos may be stenciled or made to be easily replaced by Velcro mountings. The folded cushion may also be used as a lumbar support when the folded seat cushion is flipped up on the belt to rest against the spine and act as a comfortable lumbar support. It may also be enhanced by adding a wedge shaped insert in the central section padding of the cushion.
