Seat foam

After a lengthy spell recovering from some nasty spinal surgery I am looking forwards to returning to flying (albeit on a 737 ). My big problem at the moment is that one of my butt cheeks has shrunk a lot when compared to the other side.
Is there a source of foam that can be recommended for seat wedge making so that I can carve it myself, experiment with shapes and angles and ultimately make a portable bum chock? It ought to be quite rigid, sensibly priced, fireproof and breathable. I need to get it right because I'll spend long hours wedged rigidly at a given angle and the bones might well knit together out of alignment.
If anyone has ANY useful input then I'd be interested to hear it.
