It is easy to modify the seat yourself. Check out this website:

I have tried the designs mentioned in the article but have had the best result adding a wedge of soft foam down the middle, narrowing at the front. It is easy to improve on the stock seat.

Can you reccomend a good place to source all these different types of foam without having to buy enough to do six seats??

I bought my materials from Foam Factory in Clinton MI. To follow the guidelines on the website previously mentioned you will need HD-R foam, Rebond foam and Supersoft foam, all one inch thick, and a spray can of Claire mist Spray Adhesive. An electric bread knife works great for cutting and shaping the foam. It does not hurt to have enough to do a few seats because it could take a few tries for you to find what really works best for your body and riding style.
