For those who have bought or tested some aftermarket seat cushions that you feel made the front seats tolerable, please share with us here.

Needed some zipties to hook it down, sort of difficult to tuck inside the hard plastic on the front of the seat, and seller sent wrong color,
YMMV...
Not as difficult as adding a couple of layers of foam under the original cushion, but the combination feels great, and most importantly, the SO thinks so too. She's the main driver, (I'm just the weekend relief) so here opinion is most important. And it passed the all important entry/exit pain test caused by the raised side plastic.

It's a bit soft so my lower thigh still gets pressure a little but my hips are up above the main pressure points now. Interestingly also the seat back is not digging in on my lower back as much now I'm higher. This has now convinced me to put extra padding into the seat under the original seat padding asap, as well as put on the new cushion when it arrives. I'm hoping the two together will be enough to get me into the Bolt more as I love just about everything else about the car.

Be aware that the color may not be what you want. I ordered gray, and got something closer to beige. After getting that refunded, I ordered the same thing from a different vendor, only to receive the same not-gray item. Black or white may be OK, I can't say, but the gray is definitely off, IMO.
BoltADrome said:Just had a thought. :idea: GM should offer the original seats as optional "Sport" seats.
No one would ever complain about them, and the rest of us could get the comfortable version included at no cost. That should offset the cost of developing the new comfortable seats too.
