Isn't football season just the best? Between tailgating and watching each exciting quarter, everything about the experience of a football game is incredible. Oh wait, there's one thing that's not: the awful stadium seating. It doesn't matter if you're watching high school, college, or pro―you'll find either cold, hard bleachers or uncomfortable, old plastic chairs that have zero cushioning. But that's where the best stadium seats come in! Purchasing comfy cushions to keep your backside cozy all day long is the key to game day success.
First rule of the game when considering bleacher seats: Make sure you research your team's rules and regulations regarding seats and cushions first. Every stadium is different, and you don't want a flag thrown on your first play. But once you establish that, then have fun scrolling through these options! You'll find picks with or without arm rests, extra cushioning for your behind and your back, and special features like reclining, cup holders, and more.
And before you think stadium seats are just for the big game, remember that these are all portable and most are weather proof. So sure, they make ideal tailgate essentials, but you can also bring them camping, to the beach, on a picnic, to a backyard cookout―you get the idea. Keep them handy in your car, and they'll be a game winner no matter where you're sitting! Oh, and grab an outdoor blanket for extra comfort while you're at it.
How much do we love this option? Let us count the ways! The wide, waterproof seat, the six reclining options, the comfy arm rests, the detachable snack holder―this option really does have it all. Plus it folds down for easy storage and transportation.
This #1 bestseller comes complete with thick padding, sturdy back support, a built-in cup holder and zip pocket for storage, plus a padded shoulder strap when you're on the go. It only weighs 6.6 pounds but can hold body weight up to 350 pounds. It's a great price for lots of features!
If you don't want to spend a ton, Coleman has a great, affordable option. It has just enough padding for your bum, it's water resistant, and has a convenient back pocket for storage. Oh, and it also lays flat so you can seat two people!
If you need the extra space, this option's seat is nearly 23 inches wide. The aluminum frame is lightweight to carry, but can hold up to 330 pounds. The backrest also has a mesh panel to keep you ventilated, so you won't get super sweaty in the sun.
This option folds super flat, so it's really easy to store under a seat or in the side of your trunk. But once it's open, the foam cushioning keeps you comfy and the aerogel insulation keeps you underside warm even if the bleacher is cold. The adjustable strap lets you recline, too!
If you've got back issues, look for an option designed to help give you maximum support. This option has three thick layers of foam and six reclining positions, so you can find the right fit for your body. It also has extra-wide cushioned arm rests and spring-loaded hooks to keep the seat firmly attached to the bleacher.
We can see why this pick is a bestseller! Between the thick padding, the ease of opening and folding, and the durable steel frame, you'll be able to tote this option with you to games for years to come. It also comes in an extra large size if you need more room.
Do you have a game day buddy? Buy a two pack so you can always be comfy together. This duo comes with thick padding, rubber strips and bleacher hooks to keep them in place, and convenient storage flaps. They also fold up with ease!
Lack the space or limited by the stadium rules? Grab a comfy cushion instead. The foam won't absorb moisture or get hard in cold weather. Plus, it's so lightweight, you can just grip the little handle or let the kids carry it for you!
Another great idea for something super compact and stadium-approved is an inflatable cushion. It only takes a few puffs of air to inflate, has a non-slip base to keep it in place, and it weighs less than half a pound! Look at how tiny it rolls up, too.
Sometimes, it's still hot outside when the season begins! Add this cooling mat to your existing chair or just sit right on it. It keeps a cool 59 degrees for over two hours, even in 100-degree heat. No more burning your legs on hot metal bleachers or sweating through your shorts!
Towards the end of the season, it can get very, very cold. But you still want to go to the game, so grab a heated seat for ultimate comfort. This USB-plug option has adjustable temperatures up to 115 degrees. Plus it's water resistant, reclines, and has drink and snack pockets.
