What is a BenchBuddy?
A BenchBuddy is a reasonably priced biodegradable seat cushion manufactured using carefully selected materials that are durable, comfortable, and lightweight. When the entire product is eventually disposed of after many uses, it will biodegrade into the earth's soil within a relatively short period of time without causing any harmful affects to the environment.
Whether selling for fundraising or used for promotional purposes, this product is very attractive to spectators at sporting events who quickly become uncomfortable when sitting on hard, bleacher-like seating surfaces.

There are many types of seat cushions available on the market. Why would a spectator want to buy the BenchBuddy seat cushion?
The BenchBuddy seat cushion is lightweight, comfortable, and durable. Because of these advantages, low cost, and convenience, the purchase is easily justified. The added bonus is that the Benchuddy is 100% biodegradable.
What is meant by the statement that the BenchBuddy is 100% biodegradable?
The statement means that all of the materials used in the manufacture of the Benchuddy will naturally degrade into the earth's soil when disposed of, where they serve as a natural food source for microorganisms that live in the soil. Materials used for other seat cushioning products can take hundreds of years to break down into the soil.
The purchaser is assured the BenchBuddy will in no way harm the environment. When the BenchBuddy is discarded after a long time of comfortable use, it will soon break down into the soil and become a harmless part of its surroundings.

How long will the BenchBuddy last?
Like practically everything that you buy, its useful life will depend on the care it receives while it is being used. At best, it will last indefinitely. The slip-cover is tough, preventing moisture from affecting the inner cushion material. Thus, by protecting the slip-cover, the BenchBuddy should be useful for as long as any other cushion, and at a lower cost.
What is the most affective way for school students to sell the BenchBuddy seat cushion?
Point of purchase sales is definitely the most effective way to sell the BenchBuddy seat cushion. The product easily sells itself! When spectators notice the product offered for sale when they enter a sporting event and realize they are about to sit on hard bleacher seating for several hours, they quickly become curious. Once they become aware of the affordable price, it's an easy sale.
There are other products to sell for fundraising. Why would I want to sell the BenchBuddy seat cushion?
For various reasons, many spectators arrive at sporting events wishing they had brought something comfortable to sit on. Others realize this after a short period of time. Since the BenchBuddy seat cushion is inexpensive, it is easy to justify the expense. Buying multiple cushions for the entire family won't break their pocketbook. Students can sell this product "on site" under adult supervision, rather than having to risk traveling door to door throughout neighborhoods.
How much money can my organization expect to make by selling the BenchBuddy?
Since the BenchBuddy is inexpensive and easy to sell, the numbers quickly add up when selling at sporting events with hard bleacher seating. One of our fundraisers used the term "They're Selling Like Hot Cakes!" You can expect to make 100% return on your investment.
I've noticed that after several uses of the BenchBuddy, it has lost some of its original thickness?
Due to the characteristics of natural materials, some settling does occur after initial usage.
I plan to use my BenchBuddy cushion for a long time, but someday I will need to dispose of it. What is the proper method for disposal of this product?
The BenchBuddy can be disposed of just like any other product, and will break down into the earth's soil much quicker than other products. Since the materials are compostable, we recommend this method of disposal. Check with your school or local government for locations nearest you, or click the link below.
Since the BenchBuddy is a fundraising product, are there choices for customizing the product?
The BenchBuddy is offered as a Standard Version that is an in-stock item. It can also be customized with special graphics.
