Anyone have a good way to improve the comfort of the OEM seat? Options

Things to do before the 2017 Okteenerfest.

I want OEM seats, but the foam just ain't cuttin' it. 6 hours to and from Banner Elk was not comfortable at all. Even with a food break at 3 hours.

IIRC the foam I currently have had 1985 stamped on it when I re-did the hardy board under the seat, so it is not original. But it is still old.

Ideas?

its a long drive in a 914 but my seats are very comfortable regarding lumbar support because when I rebuilt them I added extra padding in the lumbar area and the whole back part uder the tartan. on the passenger seat I put all new high density foam and wrapped it with a couple layers of fiberfill type stuff from upholstery shop. My passenger said it was great- we had a 400 mile- 6 hour drive as well. Unfortunately I used the original foam on the drivers seat so that is going to get pulled out and re-done when the car goes to paint- but- it wasn't too bad, just needs abit of extra padding - mark Whitesell has high density foam at 914 rubber you can get as well. I have a chunck of it and might use it along with some memory foam - I have to say I do miss my 911 seats I had in the car they were very comfortable, I would probably like more side bolster support, and would consider Renegade or GTS seats in the future for better overall support when driving the mountain roads.
