Also if you can find a place that makes mattresses custom-order (like Verlo), I'm sure they'd give you some scraps that would work fine. The Verlo stuff would probably be the most comfortable (high tech stuff!)<br><b>References : </b><br> Fabric shops (like for people who sew) have foam, as do what the first poster said, an auto trim repair shop.

Most sporting good type stores will have these camping mats, They have no fabric or anything on them they are just 1/2" thick closed cell foam. It works great, 2 layers will make a nice firm thin seat. Its also easy to work with. Glue it to the seat pan with contact cement (leaving some hanging over the edges). Then trim it up the edges with a razor knife. After that you can do fine shaping/rounding the edges with rough (40grit) sandpaper. Then wrap it with a heavy grade vinyl and you're done.. Sofly: The store I bought it from was called attwoods (its about the same thing as Tractor Supply). That one you linked looks like it tho. It was that same color/price and they had them in 3/8 and 1/2" thicknesses.

I Think 3/8" would have actually been easier to work with but would just take a couple more layers.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://img117.imageshack.us/my.php?image=seca003hj7.jpg Finished seat (complete with dirty cat foot prints).
