I've done a search and didn't find much on seat foam here. What kind of foam is being used on a café seat? I'm not doing anything fancy. Just a simple flat pad on a fiberglass seat pan. Thanks in advance!

I've done quite a bit of research myself, looking to go the same route. There are a lot of options. It really depends on your budget and necessity for comfort. What I've found so far is; layers of yoga mats, foam camping mattress, layer cut from original seat and professional seat foam. I'm sure there are others, but since my seat pan is toast I'm going to use my old seat foam I think. -
Best thing is to use a two-stage approach - softer foam over harder foam. The soft foam contours and comforts you while the harder foam underneath provides support and prevents deadspots and sore points.
I'd ask to buy some from a pro shop, or simply get the seat to the stage where it'll be covered and then get them to put the foam in and cover on.
Its one of those things that you will sorely (pun intended) regret if its not done properly.

get some GOOD foam!!! (bedding expert here).
As Hakamisu said, dense foam at the bottom, then your comfort layer
get some nice memory foam or a nice visco-elastic. Treat your ass to some good foam. it is your main connection to your bike apart from your arms lolComment

I still don't know anything about foam. What kind of foam is "stiff" and what is softer? The 2 stage approach sounds like the way to go but I don't know what kind of stiff or soft foam to buy. The foam at fabric stores seems way too soft. Even the stiff foam at the fabric store seems too soft to me. The gel stuff sounds good for the top but what to buy for the base....Comment
