The foam they are using now is stiffer than the "Dunlopillo" foams that were
original and are harder to sit on. In order to get a more comfortable feel
you need to remove some of the foam from the center of the foam to soften
it., I saw a pattern for drilling the foam with a hole saw to make it more
compliant. I think it was one of Norman Nock's tips.
