If your problem is only with the seat bottom cushion, that is very easy to solve. There are many products in the market for that problem. At one point I was worrying that you needed support for the whole seat including the back area. A seat cushion should be a good investment for you if you plan to travel often as then you don't have to worry about which plane type you get. On my 6 flights this year that were supposed to be on the pmUA 772 (3-3-3), I got 3 flights on that configuration, 2 flights on the Polarized 772 (3-4-3) and 1 flight on the pmCO 772. So, you never know what plane you get until you are sitting in it.
