This is no answer but just a thought. I was looking in my Campmor catolog and saw an adjustable canoe seat. Said to fit any canoe on the market and looks very versatile. $19.99. Don't know yet if there is a feasible way to use it on a kayak.

Yes, I know there has been much discussion on seats in the past. But this is
: different. Really.

: I have a couple of kayaks with comfortable seats, carved from minicell foam
: to match my bottom. I am now building what could best be described as a
: "general use" kayak - one for other family members and friends
: who want to give kayaking a try. Frequent paddlers include my 11 year old
: nephew and my parents. Nephew is thin, parents aren't. So a seat carved to
: fit my nephew would not be comfortable for the parents, and one carved to
: fit the parents would not fit the nephew. And dad's seat would not be the
: best for mom. Anyway, you get the point.

: Any recommendations on a non-custom seat? I know CLC has the "creature
: comfort" seat, and Newfound Woodworks has the "action
: seat", both of which look very similar. Does anyone have any
: experience with either of these seats?

: Thanks for the help,
