Every boat owner knows the problem: if they forget to get the outer cushions from the cockpit, cockpit or foredeck into the interior of the boat in good time before it rains, or if a salty sea washes over the seat and lounger cushions, it is often difficult to get them dry again. Unpleasant waterlogging, condensation and mold are often the result. SeaHelp member<\/a> Wolfgang Bauer from Radolfzell on Lake Constance therefore invented the Perltex cushion “to leave outside”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wolfgang Bauer from Radolfzell on beautiful Lake Constance is a gifted inventor. And he has owned a boat for many years. Like many other water sports enthusiasts, he discovered that sun and sunbathing cushions on yachts are a very “special topic”.<\/p>\n

The problem: once his standard cushions got wet, it was difficult to get the moisture out of the cushions again. “Unpleasant waterlogging, condensation and mold were often the result,”<\/em> said Bauer.<\/p>\n

Bauer wanted to develop a simple and sustainable seat cushion and reclining cushion for everyday use that would work without foam<\/h2>\n

The inventor from Radolfzell did not want to settle for that. His goal: he wanted to develop “a simple and sustainable seat and reclining cushion for everyday use” that would work “completely without foam”. His focus was always on optimized “moisture management and the room climate inside the upholstery”.<\/p>\n

After several years of development and many tests, he finally succeeded at the end of 2023: at this year’s boot in D\u00fcsseldorf, he presented his cushion “to leave outside” to the interested public for the first time.<\/p>\n

“The innovative cushion does not require any foam at all”<\/em>, says Wolfgang Bauer, and there is even a “solar thermal heat accumulator”<\/em> inside the cushion that keeps the cushion core dry – “every day anew and completely without electricity”<\/em>, says the inventor.<\/p>\n

The area of application is in the maritime, outdoor and camping, wellness and home sectors<\/h2>\n

Bauer calls his special upholstery Perltex<\/strong>; the boater sees the area of application not only in “year-round maritime use at sea”, but also “for the demanding outdoor and camping sector, for the wellness and spa sector and for the home sector”.<\/p>\n

His promise:<\/strong> the Perltex he has developed is “one hundred percent sustainable”, as the textile (the raw material) is shredded during recycling and can thus be “returned to the same production cycle without further processing”.<\/p>\n

The inside of the cushion consists entirely of polyester fiber, which is obtained from recycled PET bottles<\/a>. Its hard-wearing seat and reclining cushions, which are around five centimetres thick, are also FC-free, as its textile coating is water-based, says Bauer.<\/p>\n
