So, i've finished all the interior of my truck now, stem to stern of the cab was sandblasted, fiberglassed, primed, covered in thick undercoating, and topped off with a nice new carpet.
Which brought me to the seats. The drivers side seat was trashed, (both the fabric and the foam) - and then it dawned on me, i've had a pile of black leather hiding in my closet for the last decade, and i think it's time to bring it to good use :)
So i'm thinking, black leather seats, with one of those back massager/heating cushions put inside the seat before it goes back together, and the most /absolute most/ soft cushy foam i can find to replace the standard foam that comes from the factory.
Basically, you know those 100,000 high end sedans with the ungodly awesome leather seats in them.. i want to make some of those for my truck.
The only part of this that i need help with, is figuring out how i can make it ungodly soft and squishy to sit in.
1) What specific types of foam do i use for this? 2) Do i use just one type of foam, or do leather upholstery professionals use combinations of secret things to make the ultimate comfortable seat? :) 3) Do any of you know any sites you have bookmarked which discuss these types of questions - and can you share them with me? :)I've done some asking around locally, but aside from using 'sewing foam' which is necessary for sewing to the leather - and then 'rebond' foam, (which is not comfortable) they almost always use the pre-existing factory foam, and just cover the seats with the leather. (which is what i don't want to do)
thanks, James
