We had to re do our 71 buckets because the foam looked good but had flattened out some. Also, I had to install recessed washers on the buttons because they sit too high on the surface of the seat and your clothes rip them right off. That was the Legendary brand.

Legendary.
See my interior makeover thread for the details.
If something is not right, they will doo their best to make it right...
If you want to save some dough, you can use standard sheet foam, cut yourself to fit your seats.

You can get 2" foam at any of the fabric stores, JoAnns', Handcock's, etc....
I checked the net, called and waited until it was on sale, or % off. It is not cheap for a single 2" sheet to cover a back seat for example.
We have a place here called Sunset Fabrics. They have the hog rigs by the pound, and the foam that is fabric backed 3/8", 1/2" etc..by the yard. This is good to use with the original foam to build it up and make a tight fit. Without replacing all of the foam. I did both, replace all and build up the old. Both worked fine. I only stated Sunset to give you an idea. I called several upholstery shops and asked where they got there supplies. They refereed me to Sunset...maybe there is a place in you area like that.
PM me if you have any questions about doing it your self.

I got my foam and burlap from Hancock fabrics. The foam they have is green, not sure what the density is, but it worked well. I added 1" to the front seat base and 1/2" to the front seat backs. The rear seat was fine with the original foam. When I bought my materials from them a few months ago everything was marked 1/2 off so it was very economical.
