You might try this inexpensive, easy, seat cushion (pictured in my old MX-5).

Cut a piece of 5/8" closed cell foam (the kind packpackers use to sleep on) to fit the botton center of the seat (black pillow case cover is optional). Cut it a little "long" which will help support your legs. The foam will cushion your tail bone and give you just enough "lift" to bring your butt a bit above the side bolsters.

This has worked for me for over 90,000 miles, in bolstered seats ....

she's great for DD (i deliver pizzas in her, so i'm driving for 4-8 hours daily), it's just when i'm sitting in the seat for extended amounts of time (3+ hours) that it starts getting bad. Next road trip i take, i've got some travel pillows that i'm gonna be putting on the seat

I certainly will! Unfortunately, the car probably won't arrive until mid to late September. But when she does get there, I will certainly hook up with you guys for some runs.
