Where to get different foam for dinette cushions

Having just sold my 96 Eagle, and have just bought a 2017 Greyhawk, I notice that the foam in the new Greyhawk is way too soft for sitting. In my old Eagle, my butt wouldn't bottom out the foam on the wood, but this new one does. I am only 180 pounds so it seems like this foam will support kids real nice but not adults. What kind of places would match the dinette foam with something a bit more supportive?

Go to a foam and fabric store and get some type of memory foam and they can cut to fit for cushion covers

Try to get a much more dense foam. Think a place like Joann's Fabric maybe??

Try a boat canvas shop, they usually do boat cushions and have various density cushion material.

Agree with Sundancer. Boat trim shops have just about anything you need as far as foam. Years ago, I had my boat cockpit reupholstered by a local upholsterer and opted for firmer cushions. And just fyi, you can buy seat cushioning material on ebay and Amazon.

This is on my future to do list as well. The foam in those cushions is a joke. I guess they have to find a balance since it could be used as a bed as well.

Thank you guys for all your suggestions. I never would have thought of a boat shop. I'm going to investigate all those suggestions.

We made one trip with factory foam in dinette cushions, and came to the same conclusion ------- too soft. We have a FOAM SHOP which deals with RV/BOAT/AUTO/RESIDENTIAL cushions, mattresses, etc.
We chose one of the the most dense/firm foam offerings for our 2017 Melbourne 24K ------- much better.

IIRC there's a youtube video out there on someone replacing the foam in their dinette cushions with foam and batting. I recall thinking they did a great job,
