BTW what's temperfoam?

it is a blue foam that is quite tough but pliable. if you press into
it it will gradually yield. when you hop out of the seat it will grow
back to original shape in half an hour or so.

after market shoe inserts are made from it.

I dont know whether you see this stuff in the states but camping
stores here sell a half inch thick rolled up mat which you roll out
under a sleeping bag. it is quite comfortable to sleep on and is
similar in texture to temperfoam.

Actually Temperfoam comes in several colors depending on its density.
It was originally designed for astronaut couches where one would spend
a long time on it. It conforms to your contours providing even
support. It is great stuff and I have been using it for nearly 20
years. You might look up Oregon Aero.com. They sell it. It aint cheap,
but it's worth it.
