    ** Edit - I don't use this or any seat cushion anymore. **


    Custom foam cushion cut from my template at Bob's Foam Factory - $4.31

    One 250 thread count pillowcase - $3.30

    Couple hours stitching and sewing ....

    -----------------

    My old cushion was made with a 5" deep wedge for the stock mounted seat. Too much thigh support.

    I didn't want to look down and see my legs hanging too far over the short Prius seat bottom. Took 2 tries (different patterns) with foam factory this time around, but this cushion is great!
    It's just a 1" x 1.5" triangle glued to the front edge of a thin base (thin because I'm tall).

    The triangle wedge fills in the sloped front of the seat nicely, adds a nice cush of thigh support. Back tucks in to stay in place.

    Pillowcases work great for seat foam covers.

    Not going to market it, just showing you don't have to settle for only what's on the market.
