Seat bottom and back replacement cushion
Hi All:
I am looking for a recommendation for replacement cushions for my drivers seat. Has anyone had any good luck sourcing them or do you just find a local specialist who cuts the foam themselves?
Thanks in advance

I ended up ordering a new drivers seat base from autohauseAZ. They carried the factory cushion, I think it was around $285?. I was sure to order the one with the heating elements built in once I was able to find the exact part number match. Be prepared to sit two inches higher in the car - it’s incredible how much sag developed in my old cushion… I changed it because I was starting to get uncomfortable and the heater was so weak, also I was replacing the seat upholstery so did this all at the same time.
