Cooler Cushions for Practical Comfort on the Water
Oceansouth cooler cushions are designed to turn an esky or cooler into a more comfortable, practical seating surface for boating, fishing, camping and outdoor leisure. Instead of carrying a separate seat or leaving valuable deck space unused, a cooler cushion allows your ice box to work harder on board, giving you chilled storage below and a cushioned surface above.
This collection includes two main options: Esky Cooler Ice Box Cushions and Yeti Cooler Cushions. Both are made for marine and outdoor use, with a focus on comfort, durability and easy day-to-day practicality.
Esky Cooler Ice Box Cushions
The Esky Cooler Ice Box Cushions are available in a wide range of width and length combinations, making them suitable for many different cooler lid sizes. They are a smart choice for boat owners who want to add extra casual seating without permanently changing the layout of the boat.
These cushions feature a 65mm thick open cell foam layer for comfort, with a rugged water-resistant OMNOVA outer fabric suited to outdoor use. They attach to the cooler lid using a Velcro system with self-adhesive strips, helping keep the cushion positioned securely during normal use.
Yeti Cooler Cushions
The Yeti Cooler Cushions are designed to fit selected Yeti cooler sizes, including options from YETI 24 through to larger models. They use a 65mm cushion profile and are available in grey and white, making them easy to match with common marine interiors, deck layouts and outdoor setups.
Unlike the universal esky cushion range, the Yeti cushion option uses press stud fittings for secure attachment. This makes it a practical choice where a cleaner fitted finish is preferred, particularly on boats where the cooler is used regularly as a seat, step-up area or general deck utility item.
Who Cooler Cushions Are For
Cooler cushions suit boat owners, anglers, campers and families who want to make better use of limited space. On smaller runabouts, centre consoles, tinnies and fishing boats, every usable surface matters. A cushion on top of the cooler can provide a simple seating point while keeping drinks, bait, lunch or supplies chilled underneath.
They are also useful for larger boats where extra casual seating is needed around the cockpit, transom area or deck. For a more complete comfort setup, customers can also browse the broader Boat Cushions range, including bench cushions, deck cushions and boat deck pillows.

Choosing the Right Cooler Cushion
The most important step is measuring the cooler lid area carefully. Measure the width and length of the surface you want cushioned, then select the closest available size. For the Esky Cooler Ice Box Cushions, choose by width and length. For the Yeti Cooler Cushions, select the matching Yeti model size.
Colour choice also matters. White gives a clean marine look and can suit lighter boat interiors, while grey is practical for mixed-use fishing and family boats. Consider where the cooler will be placed, how often it will be used as a seat, and whether the cushion needs to match other upholstery, boat seats or deck accessories.
Maintenance and Care
Like most marine accessories, cooler cushions will last longer when cleaned and stored properly. Wipe away salt, dirt, bait residue and spills after use. Use mild cleaning methods rather than harsh chemicals, and allow the cushion to dry before storage. When not in use for extended periods, keeping the cushion out of constant weather exposure will help maintain its appearance and performance.
