Multi-contour seat cushion replacement?

After 158,000 miles the seat bottom is a little flat and uncomfortable. I have found seat foam replacement, but nothing that says if it is compatible with the air bladders and heat/ac the multi-contour seats have. Has anyone replaced the seat cushions yet?

Just as long as your foam is just a little flat and not crumbling you can remove the foam and use a steamer. Push the steamer into the foam and it will return back to its original shape. Just let it dry completely and there is no need for new foam. It's a really neat trick. You will need some hog rings and pliers. Cut the original hog rings with some side cutters.

I'm familiar with that trick, I also know it will not stand the test of time on a car that gets a lot of seat time with multi hour road trips. I travel 7+ hours one way for work each week, the numb butt stops have gotten more frequent recently. If I'm going to pull the seats and seat bottom cushions, I am replacing the foam vs. steaming it. Pulling them to steam it again every 25k miles isnt worth it for me when new seat foam should be comfortable for another 100k.

Bump to the top for replacement seat foam on multi contour seats w/ Heat and A/C
