I found this on YouTube showing Durofoam vs OEM. This is why I am going with the new Durofoam pad too

On their web site they dont make a replacement seat foam for 2024 2500 GMC.

I agree, even my 2024 2500HD AT4X AEV could have had better seats having paid an extra $10K for AEV edition. I was considering ordering seat covers for front seats however that would likely block ventilated cooling although seat warming would still get through. Its a shame there wasn't a choice in selecting seat leather type when ordering.

I agree.

And even when the seat ventilation is working it’s not really working — at least not the way most other brands do it. The tech at the dealership had to patiently prove the ventilation was actually moving air, even on the highest setting. All the other makes we’ve had with ventilated seats get downright cold after a bit, especially in a sweaty T-shirt. Maybe it was an afterthought.

I think the GM seat material is okay. It’s the shape and hardness that I’d like to fix. I wonder if that’s due to all the machinery needed to make the massage feature work? My wife’s new Grand Cherokee has the massager seats, and they are MUCH less comfortable than the seats in her 2016 model that didn’t have the massagers. Now I want to sit in a new one without that feature just to see if it’s better.

Do I want foam with more bounce? That translates to comfort?

…and I doubt that dude does any bouncing when he flops into one of those seats. Once again, I don’t understand the advertising.

I just returned from a warm day drive, had cooling on and could feel cool air out of the seat cooling system and although not excessive it was pleasingly effective and refreshing. First time I've experienced it.

…which makes me think mine isn’t working properly, even though I can detect some air movement if I concentrate and feel with my hand (and I’m not sitting on the seat).

I'm not saying that y'all are having the problems that you describe, but my seats will freeze me out on high!

Not mine.

Great post, I hadn't realized another company makes custom seats. However I am coming from an 06 Silverado so the seats seem really nice to me.

So $1400 total for both front seats installed. Durafoam padding, Katzkin leather with perforation for cooling, color is Charcoal/Autumn Gold, ADDITIONAL padding on seat front and side areas of bottom pad. It might seem expensive but worth it too me. I lt can’t be any worse and for what I’ve heard Katzkin is very good.

Thanks for sharing this. I would/am totally do/doing this! Can’t wait to see you sharing more details and review when this is complete. Amazing. THANK YOU!

They come on automatically if someone is sitting on them

I think I’m the only one who really has no issue with the factory seats on my AT4. That being said, the seat you selected look great! Will definitely be watching this post for updates. Good luck!

Were the only two .

As promised…pictures after installation. Foam density is softer and leather much more soft over OEM. All indicators today seem to be huge improvement for me. Trip to Angel Fire all day driving from Texas will be the ultimate test! It’s worth it..
