Where to buy foam?

Dude screw that, all you need is 2 pot holders and plenty of dect tape.
It sounds really ghettolicious but it works really really well.

First just duct tape the first pot holderall over with it on your seat
and then do the second of another layer, doing it two different times
will help it stay on

Dude, you totally need to visit the 'Economy Foam Center'
(http://www.rasource.com/foamrubber.htm) at the intersection of Houston
and Allen Streets in NYC. They rock! As a kid I dreamed of taking over
the business and being the foam tycoon of Lower Manhattan. Ah, if only
college hadn't gotten in the way.

While you're there stop in at Russ & Daughters and pick up some
whitefish and maybe some lox. Stop by Moishes' for some bagels and
bialies and then have a hot dog at Katz's Deli (don't forget the Dr
Brown's Cel-Ray to wash it down).

If you have the time wander down Orchard Street and you can get a deal
on a nice pair of slacks.

Dude...totally use carpet backing foam available at carpet and home
improvement stores. Or buy a cheap gel bike seat or pad and cut it up if
you wanna go that way. IN my experiences gel is a pain to work with and
needs to be layered about 3 times to be thick enough. Just let everyone
know how the gel works out....

You might go to an outdoors store and get the kind of gray closed-cell
foam they use to pad kayaks and canoes with. It carves pretty easily
and you can shape it with one of those 'dragonhide' paint scrapers. I
sculpted a pad for my Myata (sp?) seat. The foam comes in blocks of
various sizes, but it's not soft, squishy stuff- might be denser than
you're looking for.

A friend of mine padded a kayak helmet with some kind of foam that he
got from a prothstetic limb company. It's soft, squishy, fleshy colored
and NOBODY asks to borrow his helmet, no matter how comfortable.

The padding in a Miyata seat is essentially the same as carpet padding.
But I prefer air to foam. Or air with some backup foam under it. Or air
with some backup gel under it, but that brings up the weight again.

Then I've seen pretty good foam carving results when using an electric
carving knife. You can do it with scissors, but it gets pretty tedious
and frustrating.
