    A little research on the seat foam question turned up the following:
Temperfoam is now marketed mostly under the trade name Conforfoam.  Contrary
to common belief in the aviation community, the folks in Nebraska do not
have an exclusive dealership for the stuff.  It is used quite a bit for
medical applications, things like wheelchair seats, because it largely
eliminates pressure points, which can lead to all sorts of problems for the
chronically ill.
    Most foam suppliers, however, do not stock much, and the prices they
charge are about the same as the Nebraska folks.  Although I did get some
sample pieces from a foam fabricator that makes packaging for me, in the end
I ordered from Nebraska because they were happy to cut the right seat sizes,
laminate the different densities, and ship very promptly.
    My seats are finished, and will go in the airplane later this week.  I'm
flying from Texas to Wisconsin and back starting Saturday, so I'll post a
report on long-term comfort when I get back.
