Scatter cushions do have a place in yachting, if you want the woman in your life to enjoy sailing with you. They are a powerful token of your understanding that home comforts are not incompatible with good sailing.
If you put them in the lee side berth in the first place, they won't need to migrate.

New boat came with an inordinate number of scatter cushions. Even my mum thought there were too many, and has taken most of them home - filled half a pontoon trolley. Leaving two on board to provide visual accent (or some such interior-designy term) and if needed for a comfy posture while reading. I have been tasked with building dedicated stowage for use underway.

I have short legs, long arms and a bad back. I can only sit for a minute or two in most boats without a cushion, so all our friends tend to offer me a cushion as soon as I sit down now. I am grateful for this but would prefer the whisky first.

Wow !
Self tacking cushions, this must be one hell of a designer...
About the only thing that could improve an Anderson 22, perhaps?

Well I'm allergic to scatter cushions, but I could knock up a system with a travelling counterwight one end and cushion the other I suppose, the only snag would be getting ones' hair caught in the traveller wires...

I thought the whole problem in the first place was that they were self-tacking ?

GF wants scatter cushions and those rolly bolsters. Avoiding it like a Thatcher thread in the lounge

After due negotiations about scatter cushions on our new boat - me at 0 and SWMBO at 6 with blending patterns, we compromised on 6... with said patterns. I am pleased with the outcome and have agreed to keep my preferences for up on deck and leave the soft furnishings to those in charge.

A damp table cloth makes your plate less suseptable to moving when rolling or heeled.

The rear panel of these is of similar material to the seats themselves, that is Alcantara like (although a fifth of the price). At levels of heel acceptable to our crew they stay in place.

That smacks strongly of incompetence. You need to make up your mind and stick to it.

OK, from now on my main criteria to decide when to tack will be if it suits the cushions.

True. Not only incompetent, but wholly inconvenient. More than 2 tacks in a passage, and SWMBO wants to light the diesel.

must be a girl thing then, but I can't see what the problem is. On my previous 29' I had 5 scatter cusions, one bolster. 12 pillows, 4 duvets, 3 sleeping bags and 5 blankets. All stowed away when necessary and noone ever complained of being uncomfy or cold
comes in handy sometimes
