I have started using a chair mine is a browning and I love it, I can setup in a thicket or a tree top without the need for a tree to lean on!

I hunt off of the ground 99.9 percent of the time and I spent allot time looking at turkey vests and I use a tatr 2 cabelas due to the memory foam seat. It really helps on hard ground and roots.

If you are only looking at a "cushion" and not a chair, the Hunt Comfort Fatboy Seat Cushion is the most comfortable cushion I have seen. Now I use this in the deer stand and I do use a chair for turkey hunting.

Fatboy Seat Cushions are the best that I have found.

I second the tatr cushions.

The inner tube works well...I use a chair mostly now...I tend to stay in a spot longer than I used to

For just a cushion.. hard to beat the tatr cushion. But like others said, the gobbler chair changed the game for me in regards to comfort. Also seems to get less bugs and ticks when you can get your butt off the ground.

X2 on the Fat Boy!  I even take it deer hunting with me if I'm hunting a ladder stand that's not comfy.  I've had mine a long time and it's held up very well.  Don't let the $ scare you away from trying one.

I really like the inner tube idea, at lunch when it gets hot can float down the creek and cool off.

Thanks folks I was hoping for some feed back on the fatboy cushion.

a pretty good seat option is a Crazy Creek Hex chair.. Rolls up small doesn't weight much more than a pound and offers a reclined back rest

I got one for out west when glassing for elk and mule deer and if I didn't mind carrying it (strapped to my pack) in the Idaho mountains it certainly won't be a problem in the turkey woods.

To me it beats a plain cushion in comfort and versatility and is vastly more mobile than a 6lb turkey chair.

My wife bought me a fat boy cushion. I had back surgery last summer and used it during deer season. Unbelievable how much difference it made. Only problem I can see for turkey hunting is it is heavy but I think it will be worth it. Why carry something lite if your butt and back still hurt?

I used a fatboy cushion all deer season.  It's worth the money

I love my HS strut, strut seat. Keeps me off the ground and a little elevated.

I hate a cushion because that means I have to lean up against a tree, which normally means tree roots as well (15-20 minutes of this and you guys know where I'm going).  I value comfort and no movement so it's a chair for me, whether I set 30 minutes or 3 hours.

I never go to the deer stand without my Hunt Comfort Fat Boy cushion.  For hunting turkeys I use the one that is attached to my Alps vest.  As far as cushions go you cannot wear out a fat boy cushion.

Don't you guys find chairs Too heavy and bulky to carry,,nothing's more comfortable but they are cumbersome,,I only use mine on wet or very cold days when sitting on ground is miserable.

I have found with the chairs that the slope of the tree keeps you from getting close and having to sit out away from the tree.  I think its easier to be picked out in the chair 16-18'' off the tree.  Not sure others may chime in.

My chair is light and no problem for this 54 year old to carry and I walk a lot, and probably carry way to many calls, as for being near a tree I try to get away from trees and setup in tree tops or just some brush with no tree near by, it works for me!

Inner tube in my drop down vest cushion.

Old Bones need TLC.  Yes chairs can be heavy and bulky but you have to weigh comfort and movement when you setup.  I personally can't stand to set on the ground against a tree and 15 minutes into the hunt both butt cheeks and my back be numb or worse have a root stuck where it shouldn't be.  With a chair I get up off the ground (no roots or wet or cold behind) and have a very comfortable back rest.  Comfort vs Bulk, I'll take COMFORT!  Just saying.

Wheel barrow tube for me.

I made a camo cover for a wheel barrow inner tube and have been using it for right at 23 years. No punctures or problems with it at all. It's rather light (air) and I can sit on it for as long as I need to.
