Add in the addition of heated seats and you have foam that is breaking down with repeated compression as well as heat.
I am not against steaming foam. I’ve done it. I just want to make sure there is full disclosure on possible outcomes with this since people come here for looking for information so they can make an educated decision.
Does anybody know if it is possible to just swap the lower cushion from pass side to driver's side? Are they the same? I am hoping that will be my cheap ass way out of buying a new one lol.
To answer this myself, yes they will swap and I just did this. Now I got to get used to hiking my fat ass up farther over the new cushion height LOL. Taking a break right now then going out to finish the pass side. Also going to disconnect the seat belt warning for that side. Looks like an air bubble sheet with a hose attached to it.

Just purchased new seat foam from a company called “The Seat Shop”
Higher density foam for the drivers seat as mine was shot from 100,000 miles of officers butt sliding in and out of the truck.
Cover is worn a bit but will have to wait a bit longer as I have other things to tend to on this truck.
Cost was around $150.00 for the foam. Their website has a YouTube video on how to remove,replace, reinstall the seat cushion and cover.

OK my new leather showed up yesterday, so I decided to just dedicate the weekend to getting that project done. As promised, here's how the front driver's cushion turned out.
Before - left side bolster worn and flat:
Here's the cushion after being de-leathered:
Everything's intact, just quite worn and pushed down:
After steaming - notice the seam indentations are gone and the left bolster is like new again:
Seat reassembled with new leather:
Like I said, it's like new again. Not only in form, but in feel too...it's nice and springy and firm again, just like it would be from the factory.
So yeah, IF your cushions aren't like ripped and seriously damaged, just steam them. I picked up a used commercial steamer on ebay for $36 shipped. Hell of a lot better than spending $200+ for two new cushions - and I was able to steam the seat backs, and the back seat too. Everything's like new again.
