cure for hip pain

I think most of this is coming from the narrow center cushion and the too firm lower seat bolsters that do not compress when sat upon. Those that have met me know that I am not a man of small proportion, so my "seating surface" is amply spread across the seat of the SSR. I have tried sitting on a pillow and that seems to work pretty well as it speads the load over a greater and more equal level. My question is, has anyone modified the lower seat cushions to raise the center, softened or reduced the side bolsters etc. to achieve seating happiness?, or do I just put another handful of Advil in the coin tray and move on?? Thanks in advance for the help and suggestions!
I don't know if this will work for all but it helps me
Standing outside the truck Put the seat all the way down as low as it will go then raise the front as far as you can you may have to bring it forward a little so the back doesn't hit then tilt the back of the seat so you are comfortable. feels a little weird at first but it does seem to help me.
