C5 seat foam
Noticed that my drivers seat cover is looking a little on the loose side. Thinking that the foam may need to be replaced,who makes the best replacement foam.

I just bought foam from Mid America. I wouldn't choose them again. It is a little oversized and I ended up taking the covers and the foam to a pro. I couldn't get them to fit properly so I had to hire it out. I'd probably go with Vette Essentials. They have a good price and reputation.

GM still makes foam for the sport seats. it actually fits and feels right
if you have standard seats you may be able to find a low mile donor
aftermarket is hit and miss if you like the fit and feel

I have bought replacement foam from Vette Essentials - very good product and a good price.
The foam had GM embossed on the product so gotta be close to stock product.

I bought my last drivers foam from ecklers, they're down the road a few miles. Avoid dj motorsports unless you want some hard uncomfortable foam.
