The secret is to get the SHAPE of the seat to fit your body.....again
on the 1-34 the deal is to get the weight supported by your legs...
back side of the thighs.... and not have weight on your tail bone or
butt. *The secret is to get the leading edge of the seat "up".

By now the "factory" cushions are like 40 years old, and are either
long gone or in really bad shape. *Correctly shaped cushions will help
a lot too.

Experiment "on the ground" with various seat positions, rudder
positions and cushions until your are really comfortable.

Once you set things shaped to fit, THEN add a layer of "space man
foam" and you'll be really ready for a 12 hour flight, or a nap in the
cockpit.

Exactly right!
