Can't think why anybody would want to hire your seat......
Given that the seat lock only secures with a couple of bolts to the frame crosspiece, why not try putting a little spacer between frame/lock? Cheap to try, which probably suits, it would alter the seat 'angle of the dangle a smidge. Thicker pad would be the other, but not cheap.

Rev,
Bagster/Baglux do a range of seats, you can specify extra padding up to 25mm i think. It is a costly option thought.
Other than that see if you can find a second seat unit and strip it down and fashion your own from some new comfy foam? All you have to do then is get it covered?
Just a though.
