About the Bolster Buddy
Bolster Buddy is a Christian-owned and operated company committed to helping boaters see better, feel better, and enjoy more time on the water. We design practical, high-quality, and affordable seating solutions—proudly made in the USA.
Our story began on the lake, where founder Rick Velasquez, a decorated combat veteran, struggled to find a comfortable, reasonably priced way to improve visibility and support at the helm. The available options were either overpriced, poorly made, or simply uncomfortable. Determined to create something better for his family and fellow boaters, Rick put his firsthand experience and problem-solving mindset to work.
The result was Bolster Buddy—a durable, versatile cushion that provides the elevation, comfort, and stability boaters’ need, without the premium price tag. Built to last and designed with real-world use in mind, Bolster Buddy delivers improved visibility, and dependable support trip after trip.
Today, we remain dedicated to quality craftsmanship, honest value, and supporting American manufacturing. At Bolster Buddy, we’re proud to help you enjoy every moment on the water with clarity, comfort, and confidence.
Take it Beyond the Water
Bolster Buddy is designed for the lake—but made for life. Bring it to the dock while you fish, toss it in the truck for the kids’ ball games, use it in the bleachers, or add extra comfort at the campsite, picnic table, or hunting blind. Wherever you need elevation or support, Bolster Buddy is ready to go.
