Seat foam suppliers?
Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2017 10:40 am
Morning folks, I'm looking to replace the foam in the base cushion of the daily car's front seat. Maybe I'm a little too 'big boned' for my height , maybe these things aren't supposed to last more than the 130,000KM that the car has now covered since new but whenever I'm on the passenger side of the seat, the foam feels much more bouncy and supportive than the driver's end does and this is causing a dilemma.
I could buy a chauffeur and ride around on the passenger side or, and this is the practical solution, I can replace the foam easily enough but does anyone know of a source of the stuff, preferably shaped to suit?
I could buy a new slab of foam from the Toyota dealership and that's still another (slightly expensive) option, but I don't want to open my wallet too wide as I'm afraid of straining the hinges.
And no, the base cushion can't be turned upside down and replaced the other way up because the top of the cushion is shaped and the positions of the seat belt stalks are offset as the middle one and passenger side one come up through the same slot, where the driver's one has a narrower slot. This isn't a VOR situation and is unlikely to become that for years yet, but my backside would be grateful for any information.
Thanks all,
