SGS 1-34 Seat:

Yesterday I was making a stab at doing a 5 hour duration flight in a 1-34. I was wearing a 303 back pack from Strong as the back cushion and used the bottom seat cushion. I had a lumbar pad in the chute and felt comfy for about 45 minutes after take off. At one hour I knew I was gonna be hurting if I made 5 hours. I made 3.5 hours and could have stayed up another 1.5 easily, the lift was awesome although the bottoms kept getting in the way. I was a hurting puppy most of last night and fortunately have a number of physician friends who came thru for me on a Saturday. I will live.

The seat pan seems to be the problem to me. The three different segments with the transition from one to the other do not seem to be compatible with the human back. I'm thinking I could put all the astronaut foam and support in there but would still have a problem. Any ideas? Has anyone found a truly comfy way to configure this type of seat:?
