Driver's seat starting to feel hard

hogweed · 18th February 2019, 15:30

I think the basic cushion that you sit on is starting to show its age, as I feel like I’m “bottoming” to the framework underneath.

I’m guessing there’s not a lot one can do about this, other than a new seat…?

Get the seat pad from someone who is changing their seats..

Add a piece of memory foam under the leather cover, it doe's not need a switch to memorise what height or shape to take after getting up

Ha ha, very good Steve - hope all's well back in Blighty. Bit cold here. I can just imagine the state of the seat if I tried to remove the leather cover

Have a look on Rimmers site they were selling seat pads off cheaply

Rimmers were flogging off covers a while ago, actual cushions are showing NLA.

Yeah... thanks guys, just found them on Rimmers myself - now unavailable as you say
