Has anyone tried using raw foam from the crafts store? I'm okay making my own from scratch, but there's no way I'm paying $200 for foam

On a side note, make sure your seat springs are in good shape, a couple busted springs will cause the seat to sag too.

Seems like my old upholstery guy said he used and electric knife to shape foam, you know the one you carve your turkey with?

Hey lighten up brah, that's not just ANY FOAM we're talkin about...that's the special Chevrolet brand foam. It's special , load-bearing capacity is what's really needed for your heavy hauls . Plus it gets great gas mileage too.

Everybody knows that the chevy trucks got the leftovers and pieces that didn't meet spec to become a GMC. It's common knowledge. Lol

I want to know why I can’t make my bucket seat console work with the new bench seat foam?

I've used that stuff to rebuild seats in equipment. It works well, but it ain't cheap either.
