The shop that fitted my seats added extra webbing and foam above that
supplied by Moss in their kit. I find my '76's seats quite comfortable now,
partly because of that. I think what works for you will have more to do
with your overall dimensions and how you fit the seat, regardless of
vintage.
There was a thread on this list about fitting Miata seats a while back -
apparently a simpleconversion.

Subject: Ouch, my seat hurts
Dear 6Pack List,
I love my TR6 but on long trips the seat really hurts my butt (esp. after
the first hour or two). They are the original seats and while looking at
them I noticed that there are NO SPRINGS underneath. It's just foam with a
kind of rubber liner across the bottom. No wonder it hurts to sit in them.
Before I replace my nice vintage seats I wondered if any one on the list
had ideas for "fixing" these; adding some sort of reinforcement or support?
I thought I'd seen some discussion of this in the past but couldn't find it
in the archive.
Thanks for any help,
Grant Kester
