Has anyone used these and can advise if they are decent?

Buy ACI cushions. Better and firmer foam.

ACI for a sure thing quality/fit/feel. If I were to gamble on any other set of foams it would be these (also USA made) : https://www.thorntonmusclecars.com/p...foam-full-slot


A dead giveaway that a seat foam is questionable in fit or quality is if they simply lump their cushions into one category… “66-72”. The link above actually has a decent breakdown for the differences in those cushions vs model year (pasted below).

Smooth or no slots seat foams
1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass / 442 Supreme and Convertible
1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass S / 442 (Fastback), Cutlass Supreme and Convertible
1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass S / 442 (Fastback), Cutlass Supreme and Convertible
1971 and 1972 Chevy Chevelle
1971 and 1972 Buick Skylark

Half Slots seat foams are an Oldsmobile only foam
1968 and 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass / 442
1970 Oldsmobile Cutass S / 442 (Fastback)

Full slot seat foams
1966 and 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass / 442
1966 to 1970 Chevy Chevelle
1966 to 1971 Chevy Nova (Excluding 1967 Nova SS)
1966 to 1969 Chevy Impala
1966 to 1969 Pontiac Tempest / LeMans / GTO
1966 to 1970 Buick Skylark

The ones in link assuming as pictured appear as full slots - should be good for my 66. Who knows about firmness though?

Bought some foam for my Le Mans convertible buckets from Ames a couple weeks ago. Ordered complete Legendary upholstery in Saddle at the same time, about an 8 month wait for that.

They have a cheaper and a correct seat foam option in their catalog so of course I chose the best one.

So at least my heap will have a nice interior.

They appear to require your specific car info upon ordering so I think they’ll match slot vs non-slotted correctly per application. That’s encouraging at least.

I unfortunately don’t have any first hand experience with them yet. I will be ordering a set for a spare pair of ‘67 buckets I have lying around if I ever get some free time. From what I read, some industry people at least sounded hopeful about them as an option, but they didn’t have any experience using them yet.
