Seat Pad?

I drive a '15 Outback. The seat is nice, but perhaps due to my age, I start getting serious nerve pain down my right leg after a few hours. I think a nice seat pad would be a significant help. Anyone got any recommendations/suggestions?

I made one for my Trident by cutting a pac-man shape out of one of those cheap puzzle-piece foam floor mats. Made a world of difference

I use a frameless stadium seat pad on my PA
It adds some cushion on the bottom and increases support for my lower back

I'd say don't waste time trying foam pads, go straight to the self inflating air cushions.

Air or gel are the only two I would consider personally

thermarest made a nice seat size air cushin
I break it out after 5 hours or so
good for another 5

since any height increase adds to my tippiness
I keep it slightly under full inflate
and tuck it under lower back just a tad too

doubles as a floaty if your pfd fails
or u can stuff it inside the yak if you don't have enough noodles.

been rockin mine for several years and no holes
