I use it between my Hobie and Trident 13. It has cord that keeps in place and easily attaches to different yak seats.
I have a yakpad as well. Use it on my COD Apex 1 seat.

The reason I bought it was because I was diagnosed with high hamstring tendinopathy, and sitting on just my kayak seat for 6 hours at a time waiting for the WSB bite to turn on would lead to excruciating pain.

However, before I got to use it, I also had a platelet-rich plasma injection in my hamstring, as well as a ton of physical therapy which seem to have helped the problem.

So I can't say for sure that the yakpad is the only reason I can stay out there for hours on end now... but I'm sure it helps. It's pretty comfortable, and can easily be attached to any seat.

I do get hamstring pain from time to time still, but not from sitting in my kayak anymore.
