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?

I bought super dense foam on eBay. You can use an electric meat carving knife to cut the foam. Videos on YouTube.

So look for "super dense"?

Anyone ever try anything like wrestling mat shaped to fit for all of the best support areas? I remember that being VERY supportive when my face was ground into it in high school... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Yes, but I started using it for my cut-x runs, I used to just sit on the fiberglass shell, needed the room for my helmet. It works well to take the edge off. But I never ran it under the stock cushion. I pull the mat, and then drop in the stock cushion for the road trip.

Never had an issue with the 914 seats on trips, I even put a set in a CJ-5, made that Jeep much better than the stock seats.
