I’ve had my front seats apart in order to install a heated seat kit. I would say it would be completely doable to replace the seat padding. All it is is a yellow foam cushion that can be swapped out. The difficult part is taking the upholstery off and reinstalling it. The main seams have zippers so that’s no problem. But there are parts of the seat cover held in place by metal hog rings, which must be cut with wire cutters, and then replaced with new hog rings (using hog ring pliers) when reinstalling. The heated seat elements are 12” square stickers that adhere to the foam seat cushion under the leather. I would imagine you could peel them off the old cushion and re-stick them to a new foam cushion using headliner spray glue. It’s a bear of a job but if you’re willing to do it, the only costs would be the replacement foam cushions (order new from Mopar), hog ring pliers, and some hog rings.
Good to know about the cushions, and thanks. My only concern is that if I do manage to track down the replacement cushions, they'll only serve to move the problem from 'uncomfortable' to 'mediocre'. It's been a long, long time since I was in a KJ with as-new seats, and just can't remember how good or bad they were from the factory.
I've done seat repairs before, and these days it's something I send out to a shop. I'll pull the seat... But I find the actual work really annoying to do. Better that someone else swears at it
Going to look into the KK swap idea a bit more. Been reading a few threads; still undecided if I want to go to the trouble.

I have no idea, but it has started giving me ideas for dinner
