Wet months I use stadium seat pads. Or treestand seat pads. Waterproof, and durable, and cooshy.
During dry times I use some fake leather covers, and just put the pads underneath, or tape blankets to the seats in strategic areas.

I was thinking about buying one of those memory foam mattress toppers. Cut it to fit in each seat.
What do you think? |

I put 1 1/2 inch foam padding under the covers wrapped in thick garbage bags to keep the water out of the foam. and make sure your seats have a few drain holes in the lowest spots.
if you dont and get them wet you will have wet butt for weeks.  |

Friends have done that and said it works fine. I run a foam used to line wooden travel cases (like musicians and sports teams use) because I used to work for a company that built them so I could get all the scraps that I wanted for free.
