I was looking for the same information because I need to replace my
seat.  The old one was a extruded rubber seat that was really comfortable
but it just fell apart.  I checked in the archives for R.B.P. and found
a couple of sources:

Nantahala Outdoor Center www.nocweb.html
They seem to have closed/mini cell foam in a variety of sizes.

Grateful Heads www.gratefulheads.com/outfitting.htm
The carry foam in a few different sizes as well as tools for carving 
it up.

There was an article in Sea Kayaker a few months ago on "Customizing
your Cockpit".  It listed Ken Rasmussen as a resource for closed cell
foam and had an address.  I can look it up if you can't find it
anywhere else.
