I've been playing with my old seats recently. I've removed the straps, stuffed the seat with old pillow filling and then used a square carpet tile on the base, above the straps.
Works really well. The old Minor seat is now more comfortable than my Metro seats - however I just know its not going to be as good for my back and all that. At around 12k miles a year I'm not sure whether to try it...

You'll go blind

Why not do the job properlry, it's certainly cheap enough to buy the straps and very easy to fit

certainly a lot more comfortable..

Must admit the seats do look really comfy,

I think you will find they are Newton Commercial seats that are metro based I have a pair but without the headrests are they are comfy.
