Default Replacing Drivers Seat Cushion

I ordered a new drivers seat cushion from Sewell and am having an upholstery shop replace it. Are there any other parts (frames, springs, anything else) that I should replace while I am there. After 11 years and almost 100,000 miles, the seat on my '02 UL is just not as comfortable as it could be. Any advice or suggestions is appreciated.

What is the upholstery shop charging to replace the cushion if you don't mind me asking?

The charge is $75. I am removing the seat from the car and dropping it off to the shop with the new cushion. Once he completes the job, I will try to clean the leather and reinstall. I think it is reasonable. I have the temporary luxury of an extra car while my kid is away.

My question for those who have done this is whether the new cushion is enough. I have seen some say that the shop put in extra cushion on top of the OEM cushion. My repair person said that after a short time the extra cushion would shift, bunch up and also block the airflow. Just curious about the experience of others.
