Have you considered a used boss seat ? if you wanted a good job you would have to be really good with the sowing machine, or pay a apolstor big bucks.

One cheap way is to take the cover off the seat, put pink insulation styrofoam (the hard stuff not the fiberglass stuff

) between the original seat foam and the plastic base, and then get it re-covered. You might have to carve it in a few spots so the pink styrofoam will fit nice, but I have seen this done as a cheap option in the past.
