    I’m getting ready to order some foam to upholster the seats. I’m thinking about getting 3” thick firm or medium/firm for the seat bottom, and 2” medium foam for the seat back. Does that sound about right to you guys?

    See if someone in your area has some that you might be able to try out. Maybe an upholstery shop in or near you? And a lot of folks like to add the different densities to layer it and get the different "feelings" to suit your tastes. To soft and you'll sink right through it and to hard will cause you pain/discomfort. The top (closest to you) is usually the softest one inch or less, then a higher density below that. Or??? Just see if you can try some out and return it if you don't like it in exchange for something different.

    Or just carry on as if I hadn't replied, you may be better off! LOL..
