Default Competition seat bottom conversion to sport seat bottom

My daily GS Z07 rides pretty stiff. I read the competition seat cushion is 20% firmer than the sport seat. Can I just buy the cushion and cover and switch them over.
Anybody done this? Thanks

Yeah, it's a straight swap. Most people don't do it due to cost. The passenger pad has an integrated passenger presence sensor and it's pretty expensive for both types of seat.

You might think about getting a memory foam cushion.

Go with the Sport seat, just order the back seat cover and keep the bottom seat cover you already have. I think the bottom of the competition and sport seats are about the same as far as comfort. The back seat cover of the competition seat is not as comfortable as the back seat cover of the sport seat.

Passenger presence sensor, say that 3 times fast

I was just going to do the drivers seat first, girlfriend doesn't complain. Yet
