Foam Seat Buns?

Any upholstery shop should be able to make them.
Probably cheaper and you can get different "firmness" also. Worth a call at least.

Good point Ray, probably no firmness selection at any of the big name suppliers.
In my opinion Legendary Interiors is top notch but never dealt with them for foam before buns
I am lucky and have a really good shop in the area. I have a broken spring on the drivers side of my bench and the original velour seat covers so I will not touch it I am scared I will screw it up. Brought the car there and got a quote of 150 with new foam and can choose the firmness. They were contouring foam that day for a custom car and it is a Hot knife they use to do it. Prob pretty cheap just for the buns. I would think they need the seat for reference also. My 2 cents.

I just replaced the drivers side bucket seat bun on my 68 fastback. it already had custom made covers on it, and they weren't exactly like the originals I guess. tuned out ok, but wasn`t as easy as some would have you think. didn`t use the back rest bun, the orig isn`t depleted like the botton foam was.
Thanks to all for the input, I have a shop recommended to me here, I will call them Monday.
I bought front seat buns off ebay from Tamraz's store. It's made by PUI. I was satisfied with the foam and price.

forgot to mention, I bought mine from JEGS. took a couple of weeks to get it. was shipped from PUI. $101.99 shipped. seemed the best deal I could find!
That was a great price. I bought mine about 2 years and I think for two front buckets (top and bottom) on the 66 Barracuda, I spent around $220. I can't remember the exact price. But PUI foam seemed like it was good. I used an electric turkey carving knife to cut mine
What are you working on and what trim grade? It matters.

I did my front two seats myself. I took before pics (so I could put them back together, lol), but not any during pics.

FWIW, I used burlap from Michaels. Not quite a coarse as original but I didn't mind. Hobby Lobby or most any craft store should have it.
