We started out with thermal foam (temper-foam?)in our seats, bottom and
back cushions. Dave and I both felt our seats hurt our backs on longer
trips, and came to the conclusion it was the lack of lumbar support. On
the longer trips, the temper-foam 'relaxed' from our body heat and
eventually stopped providing the needed lumbar support. We replaced the
back cushion temper-foam with regular foam and the problem was cured.
We still have temper-foam in the seat bottoms, which is a good idea for
crash protection. The only down side is that you slowly sink into the
seat over time, as your body warms the temper-foam. We added an inch of
regular foam on top to try insulating the temper-foam a little from our
body heat (and to soften the seat bottom just a bit).

I built my seat cushions with thermal foam. It molds to your body when
warmed. I can sit in my plane for hours. I got mine at Aircraft Spruce.
I just took a quick look in the catalog, It is in "seat foam" page 37.
It is make up of there layers, one inch each. Pink, green, and blue.
There levels of fermness. I don't think there is any thing better. Take
a look.
