Foam on the front seats

Post by astaib »

Hello,

Did you already change the foam on your front seat?
I noticed today by removing the seat cover that the blue foam is completely worn, and very thin now (I bet that they have 18 years old!).

I wanted to remove them and replace by something else, but what?

Thanks for your experiences

Arnaud.

There are many suppliers for Memory Foam in various thickness and firmness. I bought some many years ago to add and an extra layer in my seats. I can't recall where I bought it.

Arnaud,
The foam should be fire resistant. In the USA, Aircraft Spruce sells aviation grade seat foam.
