The issue is that the currently supplied foam is stiffer than the original =
Dunlopillow and as such provides a harder seat. removing plugs of foam from=
the underside improves the compliance of the seat. I did it to the foams I=
used in my 100 for 13 years and they were about as comfortable as they cou=
ld be. I had Heritage rebuild my seats with new everything and it feels as =
if they also drilled the foams, although i'm not sure. They covered the bot=
toms of the seat cushions with fabric so I can't see them, but just poking =
around it feels as if there are holes.
