Also - have a good look at Medical Grade Gels.

Long story - but I've spent a lot of my professional life, putting unconscious people into unusual positions for many hours - and avoiding pressure damage was a bit of a thing for me...

Medically, gel is often used, as well as some specialist foams.

I have a seat that has been rebuilt, and that has a layer of gel within it as well as foam.

The trick with gel through, is to just use a small layer, as if its too deep, it allows you to slide off, if you see what I mean.

Also - I spent a lot of money on my seat, and had it covered in Black Alcantara Suede - looks ace!

But to protect the seat, and for my own comfort - on long trips (I regularly ride Manchester to Aberdeen) - I chuck my £30 black sheepskin over it - and that is amazing...

Try talking to Tony Archer 01484 536832 in Huddersfield who has rebuilt and modified several seats for me. There isnt to much that he hasnt seen.

I've bought upholstery foam from here in the past if that helps you out.

Just a though may be worth bearing in mind - if you do go for fixing your seat yourself try to ensure that any foam that you purchase for the job is 'closed cell' as 'open cell' foam (like a car washing sponge) will readily absorb and retain water.

Sorry if this is preaching to the choir
