    Hoping for recommendations for a firm, 1" or so seat pad for my 2006 Tundra (it has a bucket driver's seat, and a one piece bench seat across the middle and passenger side.) I love the way the bench seat feels - not so much the bucket seat. Wish I could just buy and install a bench seat that goes all the way across...sigh...
    Hoping to recreate that firm seat feel of the bench seat in my driver's seat as much as possible. Any ideas?
    Edited to fix: It's a 2006 Tundra (I obviously cannot type today...)

    And here I thought 2nd Gens had a 60/40 seat with the same padding material on both sides... :confused:

    If you have enough money, you could have a custom one made.

    I am thinking that they did at first butt the drivers seat is worn down from use?

    What I am not so sure of os how the OP knows what the other side feels like?
    I dont think I have ever sat there in mine,not even once?

    Also I would bet that any decent upholsterer can match the feel for him?

    I sit there when my hubby drives my truck - that is, when I let him (grin!). His 2012 Tundra has bucket seats in both the driver's and passenger's seats.

    It's a complete different feel "in" the bucket seat (driver's) than "on" the passenger (bench) side.
    And nope, don't really want to spend the money to completely rebuild...just hoping for a suggestion for a firm rather than memory foam-type seat pad for a bucket seat, if anyone knows of one.

    How 'bout your favorite sports team stadium cushion? Or two?

    Actually not a bad idea, except it would be hard to figure out how to attach it so it doesn't slip when I get in and out. Thank you!

    New sheepskin seat covers will add about an inch.

    Install it with the carrying handle going thru the gap between the seat and the seat back and secure with a small bungie cord or two.

    See! We gotz solutions!
