Default Seat foam core revisit

I saw a thread on this which was started in 2020 and the last entry appears to have been made in 2022. I'm bringing this up again since the links provided in the previous thread appear to point toward discontinued products. As others have experienced, the driver's side front bucket seat foam on my new-to-me 2003 Dakota Club Cab has degraded and I'm seeking a replacement foam seat. If anyone has a source, I'd appreciate a link. Thanks.

The seats on my quad cab dakota's bottom foam is exactly the same. I just took the foam from a passenger seat and cut a section out of it for the power switches on the side when i added the power club cab seat. Now my new-to-me seat feels like new.

I think that was me that started that thread a few years ago. I never did find a suitable actual replacement seat foam. The passenger side is very similar and with a little massaging could be made to work.
I ended up with no follow-up since I ended up getting the bucket seats and console to replace my bench seat out of a junkyard truck.
But if you find a good upholstery shop, they should have the foam and be able to make up a new cushion for you.
