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.

I do like the memory foam pillow that I have. Its greatly comfortable! I also noticed that when memory foam is exposed to cold temperature, that it becomes HARD AS A ROCK! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) I took my pillow camping one time, and wish I didn't! As soon as it hit the cool air, it became extremely hard, and took almost all night before my head temperature softened it up enough.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Just another thought to ponder on..

Good point Toast.......didn't put much thought into how the climate would affect it. A straight memory foam seat might not work too well. I'll have to play around with one of my old seats with different combo's to see which is the most "butt friendly" combination.....thanks for the heads up.......err....nevermind (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
