Cushin' the Tushy.., Anyone try memory foam? Options

[SpecialK]

I know that I've got waaaay more to work on than my seats, and for what they are they're fairly comfortable, but every little bit helps on those looooong drives to 914 events. I was considering getting some of that "memory foam" (tempurpedic matress type stuff) and repadding the seat, back and bolsters. Aircraft Spruce sells some foam specifically designed for aircraft, but it's apparently made of spun gold for the price they're asking (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) , so I did an EvilBay search and found some 1"- 2" pads used for horse saddles that were quite a bit bigger.......and a helluvalot cheaper.

Just wondering if anyone has done this, and if the "end (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bootyshake.gif) " results were worth it.

when i lived out west i attended the Playboy Jazz Festival for 13 years running. after the first year of a weekend on a wood stadium bench, i bit the bullet, went to Sharper Image, spent the $100, and got their gel-filled seat cushion. best $100 i ever spent. heavy sucker, and expensive, but it works.

Gel filled? I think I've seen those for motorcycle seats. I guess you'd have to make damn sure you took all sharp objects (i.e. - screwdrivers) out of your pockets before you sat down........could get ugly. I wonder if the summer heat would have any adverse affects on the gel? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

I'll have to mess around with some possible combinations after I get the cars running. I've got like 8 seats laying around, and 4 of them are definitely "guinea pig" condition.
