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

[malcolm2]

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?

These guys have some specs on foam....

LUX HQ sounds good to me..

Lux Foam - High Quality
Firm foam for regular or heavy use. Lux Foam - HQ is a high quality foam suggested for seats, chairs, cushions, benches, and mattresses. Foam has a typical life of 16 years. (Lux-HQ foam is a 2.8 lb/ft3 density with a 50lb ILD)

vs

Lux Foam - Regular
Firm foam for regular use. Lux Foam - R is suggested for seats, chairs, cushions, benches, and mattresses. Foam has a typical life of 7 years. (Lux-R foam is a 1.8 lb/ft3 density with a 50lb ILD)

They have another similar to LUX that is call HD-36 with the only diff being it has 35LB ILD.... need to find out what ILD is. I am gonna assume I should just max out all the specs, years of life, density and ILD. Might be like sitting on a brick tho.

I assume 2 seat btms would be 6" thick, maybe 24" x 60" for less than $70!

I just checked online how to explain what ild is: (not my wisdom)

What does the ILD rating of a memory foam mattress mean?

ILD stands for Indentation Load Deflection. In simple terms it is a measurement of how hard or soft a foam is. In more accurate terms it's the number of pounds of pressure required to indent 4" of foam by 25% using a 50 square inch indentation. You may also see it referred to as the 25% ILD rating.

For example, this means that a 15lb ILD rating would mean that the foam needed 15lbs of pressure to indent it by 25%, and a 25lb ILD rating would mean it needs 25lbs to indent by 25%, so basically this means that the higher the ILD, the firmer the foam.

You can use the ILD rating together with the foam's density to gain a good idea of the overall make up and quality of the foam.

It is worth noting that due to the batch production process of memory foam, the measured ILD and density ratings can change from batch to batch. It is not unusual for a foam that rates at 10lb ILD to vary between 8lb and 12lb.

This can also vary depending on the temperature and environment the foam has been conditioned in prior to testing.
