I have a dilemma ..... Van's RV-10 rear seat foam is 1/2 the cost of those from Oregon Aero.
I would like opinions on whether the extra cost is worth the comfort.
I'd also like to sit in both the Oregon Aero seats and Vans so if you're bringing your RV-10 with Oregon Aero seats to Sun-n-Fun I'd like to see what they're like.

Linn, one way of looking at you dilemma is.....how often will you sit in the back seat?

it’s all the same foam. You’re paying for the Name only. I know Oregon Aero told me that needed to get their money back for their R&D on the front seats and rear seats. I built my own rear seats and think I should get $50 for my R&D.
I don’t recall where the foam comes from, When I was helping Desser put together a airframe package I saw they had rolls of the foam. They told me they provided the seats for the RV’s, but I don’t think it was for the RV-10. Bottom line, I bought some of the blue and pink (softer) foam online for about $40 for my custom built (by me) seats, have plenty left over too. Most of the seats are formed foam that is rather cheap in general.

worse than that.. how often will your family sit in the back seat? If they aint happy no one is flying with you.. Ask me how I know, they are happy as clams back there and never complain. Usually when we fly as a family I’m going 4hr legs.
Good point however, if no one is really going to be back there for long save the money and use a few pillows covered by a walmart seat cover.. Just don’t let anyone see it however [img]cid:9B04A8BC9D504BF28A2EEF1060E74899(at)pascalPC[/img]

I'll only sit in the back ...... at SNF 
I'm going to travel around the country, possibly with a full load, so the comfort of the rear seats is kinda important ..... especially if I can get whacked by the passenger behind me!!!
Thanks for the note .... made me chuckle!

Van's has RV-10 rear seat foam cores that have 3 pieces (seat, back, lumbar) X 2 seats for $315 now. The O.A. seats are $342/seat and don't have the lumbar cushion.
O.A. says their seats are pure memory foam while Vans has cheaper foam in places. Makes choosing difficult.

I have Van's foam, covered by a local shop. Wife and friends have sat back there, they say it's comfortable.

not really. Memory foam is over rated. None of my cars have it and they are quite comfortable when we drove for hours. When it gets cold, memory foam are like rock until warmed up. Forget the hype buy 2-3 sq ft of the memory foam for your bum and the rest can be the same foam used at car shops.

I enclosed my seats layout for your review. This setup works today, I think this is the same setup as Vans- but I bet a good shop can duplicate it.

I recommend giving Geoff a call to ask about the things he does to differentiate his product from others. Ask him about how he ties down pleats and seams. Or how he adds foam to soften the edges around the seat frame.
Many of you know that Geoff and I are friends, but I'm also a satisfied customer.
I believe he'll be flying to SnF, so you can see his seats in person. There are also a few other forum members that have Geoff's seat too.

I went with the Van's rear seat foam. I get consistently good reports on back seat comfort from adults. I rode in Tim Olson's back seat in 2006 or 2007 and was impressed at how roomy the back seat is and how comfortable the seats are. I am 6'1" and usually (but not always!!) a bit north of 200 pounds.

Pascal,
they came out very nice, you could marketing them and sell to get your
R&D back
