I didn't buy the comfort seat when I built my Northbay because I
found the standard seat sold with the kits to be quite comfortable.
The seat essentially comes in three pieces; the backband (from a
third party company), and two foam pieces that are glued together.
The bottom piece of foam is the same shape as the top piece but
it has a hole cut out of the middle such that it's like a 3/4" ring.
I just rounded off the edges on the top a bit.The top piece sinks into 
the hole and after awhile starts to formto your butt. Missing, however, are
thigh braces and knee pads but the kit contains a couple of blocks
of foam for those as well.
