Nelson Posted February 7 Report Posted February 7 Is memory foam a good choice when redoing Avanti seats? I imagine a closed cell is the standard but was wondering about the the newer memory type.
Dwight FitzSimons Posted February 7 Report Posted February 7 (edited) Why, Nelson ! That wouldn't be original !!! --Dwight Edited February 7 by Dwight FitzSimons
Nelson Posted February 7 Author Report Posted February 7 I know, Dwight. It’s hard to admit but sometimes you just have to give in. I actually have a set of nos foam for a bucket seat. Still feels pretty good and it will work well for a pattern. Honestly though, you’re old enough to remember the right interior color, grain, vinyl weight and sheen. I’m pretty certain you would prefer the exact component you remember. If I never saw, sat in or felt the original I would accept about anything close. Unfortunately that isn’t the case.
Dwight FitzSimons Posted February 7 Report Posted February 7 I agree, Nels. From what I have heard modern foam is better than the original stuff and is out of sight anyway. When I have my Avanti's seats reupholstered I'll have new foam made. Modern foam might be more comfortable too. I have a set of NOS Claret Red bucket seat covers to have installed. --Dwight
