So, after having my ass go numb for the last time on my 38 y/o flattened driver's seat, I finally broke down and did the pool noodle "fix". I wish I had taken a picture because it actually turned out pretty well and now the difference is amazing. No more feeling like I am sitting on the floor, and I actually have full butt and thigh support too.
I have the old W115 setup which has all coiled springs in the seat box. I cut 4 4.5" cylinders from a softer/smaller diameter noodle and put them upright between each of the front springs and held them in place with twine. The next row of springs back, I used the same smaller/softer diameter noodle, but cut length-wise to the width of the seat and stacked two on top of each other for lower thigh support. Next row back from that, I used one larger diameter, thicker/firmer noodle cut to the width of the seat and stuffed it between those rows of springs. Finally, for the last row, I had wished to use that same bigger, thicker/firmer type of noodle, but that row is much tighter/narrower than the rest, so I used the small diameter noodle again, cut to the width of the seat and stacked 1 and 1/2 of them (sliced the top one length-wise in half), which is all that would possibly fit in the space. After all was done, I put everything back together, strapped the sheep skin in place, and now I can drive more than ~90 minutes without wanting to jump out of the moving car. Eventually when I get some more money I will buy an original spring box from the dealership, but for now, this is heaven.
