No, not that I can see. My guess is that it's one made by them but was returned after being used for several months and the customer was pissed because it didn't hold up. Going to order from the Seat Shop instead.
Seat cushion- OEM, Durafoam or eBay special?

Here are the pictures of the leather replacement bottom seat cover on my 07, I had it replaced about 60k ago. You,ll notice in the back where it is short and the non-leather gray material is showing (Pix 2). Like I said previously, the guy I had do it, built up the cushion some so it may have cause it to come up short in the back?
The leather has held up pretty.

That's a lot of "short". Even though the cushion was built up, it should be squashed by the cover once it was wrapped. The cover doesn't stretch nearly as much as the cushion compresses and it wraps around and hooks to the seat pan. Or maybe it was REALLY tight and the cover stretched over time from the cushion pushing out on it?
Aside from that, I agree- the material looks to be holding up great. Thanks for the pics and input!
Is the OEM one discontinued? I don't have any experience with TSS cushions but I'm not crazy happy with the one seat cover I bought but the OEM is discontinued so unless I could make a passenger seat cover work on the driver seat, I'm stuck. And it cost twice what the OEM one would have cost.
No, I think it's available but Rock Auto doesn't carry it, and after searching through the gmpartscenter website for 20 minutes and finding everything but that particular cushion in 20+ pages of matching search hits, and hearing people have good results with the seat shop cushion, I just went that way because of convenience.

There are several different ways...
I just use a commercial steamer that I bought on ebay (cost me $35).
Watching some of those videos really shows how effective the steaming technique is. Very cool. I will give this a try on the old cushion and keep it as a spare.

I have a new oem foam cushion and new oem seat cover sitting here waiting to be installed. If you guys need any specific pics, I can send them. @iamdub and @Geotrash both have my digits
As far as them being discontinued, I purchased two foams and two covers a couple months ago. This is for the non cooled seats (no perforation). I got them from malouf Chevrolet. One for the avalanche and one for casey's 08 Yukon
