swivel seat base

I've seen one advertised by Bluebird which apparently needs no fiddling about with and will fit straight onto existing runners, pricey though at £165. I can't quite picture how these work, does having a swivel base mean the seat is raised up a bit and, if so, by how much?
thanks

pricey though at £165

westie types raise it by exactly 30mm
mm oh and they fit between the existing runners and are welded with a few short runs along each side

thanks, I am reluctant to part with £165 (being a tight git)

Here is a much cheaper option for those with deep pockets but short arms

Just slide your seat off and turn it round....!!

WHS ^^^^^^^^^^^^
I can slide my captain's seat off the runners and spin it around in a few seconds after a bit of practice.
