Stuart,
Unfortunately, that method is probably the only way to achieve the
firmness that is required in those places. THe deterioration is due to
the glue giving up over the years allowing the particles to separate
(usually depositing themselves on the carpet under the seat in the form
of yellow powder).
Replacing that foam with the same (only new) type will probably last for
years.
Cheers,
Joe
