Noel,

I know a fellow that use to ride bicycles a lot and now has to sit
on a cushion. The type of foam you are sitting on may not be
correct for you. I have only minor back issues but I'm short and
instead of using some kind of seat foam that may compress too much
I read up on the Confor Foam and opted for 3 pieces of 1" each of
the hard, medium and soft. I glued them together and trimmed to
fit in the seat pan nicely. I then trimmed a raw cut piece of
lambs wool to cover the foam and the entire pan seating area. It
is great. No part of of my body hurts nor goes to sleep nor do I
have any aches or stiffness after getting out of the glider. I had
a job where I sat in an office chair for 25 yrs. The last 5 I had
to use a mesh bottom and back ergonomic. And now I can not sit
more than a few minutes in a regular chair. So, the type of foam
you use may not be right for you.

Noel's original post was from 2011. He's since fixed the problem by
buying an ASG-29 ;-)

Cheers, Craig

Too bad - the foam would've been much cheaper!
