One answer here might be to use the foam that is used for custom,
very-close-fit seats - e.g. in Formula 1 cars?
When we did the supersonic car record, the seat used this technology. The
'bag' was filled with the foam and the driver sat in it. He then sat there
with a warm bottom while it cured - after which he had a seat that fitted
both him and its shell like a glove.
I'm considering similar for my Europa left-hand seat: I want to avoid the
Hi-Top mod, but I'm 6ft tall and thick seats mean I'm banging my head on the
window above. I also like a close-fitting seats anyway. This would enable me
to have a shallow but extremely comfortable seat.

I tried it in exactly that location.
Don't. Do. It.
Really. Trust me. Cleaning that mess up was a royal pain. I then did
the job over with proper blue foam.
