    Not the answer you ask for, but,,,, until you find some foam, try putting a solid barrier between the seat foam and seat frame. I used the hard plastic sheet, racers use to form up dirt car bodies. You might consider a sheet of aluminum, lexan, wood paneling, etc. It improved the comfort for me.
    It does not have to be attached. Just cut to fit.
    Good luck,

    I used this on my Kirkey aluminum seat. Very comfortable, and easy to fit. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catal...?clickkey=4682

    I ordered 2 sheets of this for my passenger seat. Trying to get the wife more comfortable. I bought the blue and green, medium and soft. I did not get a good report from wife. I tried them myself and found them to be less beneficial than standard foam.
    This type of foam conforms and shapes to the body. All that is good, but it compresses to an almost solid. If you have a lot of vibration, it might be more beneficial, or is combined with a sheet of regular foam.
    Not to bash the suggestion, but I had over $70 in 2 sheets and did not get the results I needed. JMO

    I used one layer of the pink and blue foams, perfect! I can ride for hours in comfort.
