The foam is a little stiff and after 2,000 miles mine hasn't softened up. At first I didn't like it, but now I see it as a good thing. It's not breaking down. Not sure about yours, but mine is a "low" seat and it needs the stiffer foam to keep my ass from bottoming out on the pan. Incidentally, the carbon fiber material is holding up well, but it's slick. Overall I'm happy with mine and just ordered another (in gripper) for my 450F.
