The attachment section takes the form of a tubular section having longitudinal ends. One end is attached to the cushion main body.

The tubular mounting section is formed by two fabric pieces, each forming 180.degree. of the tubular mounting section. The two fabric pieces may each have the fabric loops folded over and sewn while the fabric pieces are flat.
