Upholstery shops have foam suppliers. A good shop will order what you need - or perhaps have a remnant that you can use.
And you want a high ILD foam with a medium density.

A foam with an ILD of about 50 will seem, at first, too firm. However, after sitting for fifteen minutes or more, it is feels still comfortable. And you don't "sink" on it.
Furniture stores don't use a high ILD foam because the lower ILD foams "first feel" is nice and soft. It sells. A high ILD foam would not make a good first impression. (intended)
However, for long term comfort and support, I'd choose a foam with an ILD of 50 (and forget about memory foam and layered sandwich foams. The solution is much simpler.)
