Replace seat springs/pad with foam?

I've been toying with this idea for quite some time.

I've done all the tricks with the pool noodles and seat support inserts..

Has anyone ever just outright replaced the spring cage with some sort of seat cushion foam?

It seems like something like this would sell pretty well (at least with us forum guys) I figure it would take a proper mold and some sort of foam mixture or something...but I think it could be done..I mean once the mold is made it should be fairly easy to produce a bit of them..

Any thoughts on this? I've always hated dealing with the springs and bounciness of these older MB seats. My best repair was on my gold SD, I got a bunch of carpet padding, packed it in layers and weaved a grid of steel cable to support it but that was nearly 10 years ago...
