Modernizing old seats

[ProTourGSX]

Recovering the rear seat in my '70 Buick GS, never liked original seats for comfort factor; has anyone used, or thought of using Memory Foam (like used for new bed/mattresses) to prolong the life of the seats, as it always returns to it's original shape?

Just an idea, not necessarily something I have to do, but thought it might be cool for an extra place to sit in the garage, anyway.

I've wondered how well it would work too and if it would be easy on your tukus on long trips

I love the chrome trim back of my 442 seats, but they are crappy.
I added some medium density foam, some ne springs, edge wire to pull down the center....... and it feels like I fall into these seats.

A little 1" and 1/2" foam added, cut 1/2" slots in the old foam for center section.

The worn out original GS front seats will be replaced with Recaro or Corbeau buckets; the rear seat is only being redone as a garage prop/back half of a '70 GS for use as a custom couch (with stereo system in rear deck & trunk).

No one rides in the back seat of my Buicks, ever!
So, with the back seat & seat belts removed, there's only room for the driver (me) and 1 passenger (not very often), as I'd prefer, anyway.
Also, it makes more room for amps/speakers/storage for road trips/etc...
