737-700 Evolve Blue seat upgrades - Pics!
As some of you might know SWA is updating the Evolve seats on 737-700's to have a fully blue seat cover and replacing the bottom cushions with new, thicker cushions. Welcome improvement and will help the current fleet resemble the -800s and MAX new interior.
I was lucky to fly on N426WN this weekend and the difference was amazing.

I believe this is just Evolve, but now in Bold Blue.
There's been some conflicting information about the seat bottom cushions, but my understanding is that only the covers were to be replaced -- that the cushion is the same Evolve design as before.
I suppose a new cushion would feel better than an old, used one. But they sure look the same as Evolve to me -- just now blue.

Isn't that what I said in my original post?
"updating the Evolve seats on 737-700's to have a fully blue seat cover"
I have been told the bottom cushions are all replaced as a part of Evolve Blue and are 1/2 inch thicker. I noticed a huge difference in padding under my butt!

You also said, "...and replacing the bottom cushions with new, thicker cushions."
My point was regarding the bottom cushions. Everything I've read indicates that they are no thicker now. Just the same seat, only blue.
I haven't flown them yet personally, so I'm trying to understand how making them blue could be an "amazing" difference.
Was it crew that told you they were thicker?

Glad to see WN improving the Evolve product!

Apprently no evidence for the claim the bottom seat cushions are thicker or that they were replaced when the covers were swapped out.
