I watched a couple videos but I didn't see one where cushioning was added. Is this as simple as putting some foam down and stapling the fabric over it? Maybe I should try gluing the foam to the chair so it isn't shifting.

Chair is in good condition other than the seat. Seems silly to throw it out and buy a new one when they are like 150 bucks or more.

Also where should I buy this stuff? Is there a special "seat foam" I should look for, or just get whatever the local Hobby Lobby has in stock? The fabric is that black fake leather looking stuff. That works for me, I'm not sure what it is really called.

Fabric stores? Foam varies in density, you'll want something dense enough for a comfortable seat.

There was some product I first noticed 25 years ago, gel seats, for spectators sitting on bleachers or in stadiums. That might make an incredible chair seat if it fits under the cover.

Hmmmm. I’ve hated every pair of gel insoles I’ve ever bought. Might be apples and oranges though.
