Something like this - an actual pan, eliminate the springs or give the springs support under them so they will not sag downwards.

This IPC is from my last vehicle which I drove for 15 years, Note Item #8 is the seat pan, the cushion itself provided all the needed support, the Ranger has a combination of a cushion and spring , I tried the cargo straps (x2) and interweaved them in the springs, you feel the straps.
The main issue is that the center of the spring mat inherently forms a V when you sit in the seat, so your tailbone always sits lower than your but cheeks. that is what I have found to be MY ISSUE with comfort.

Its hard to explain unless you actually open it up and place you hand on the springs.

Example: If you were to place your hand on the RH Side of the spring mat - it creates a slope downwards on the RH side - so if you picture you sitting in the seat, now you are sitting sideways (Uneven - Unlevel), this strains the back, so in a turn (roundabout) when your body weight shifts it feels like you are sitting on a uneven seat.

So I may revisit this someday and come up with a way to dump the seat spring assy or fabricate a seat pan that will stop any deflection (a solid surface)
or I may try - a cargo strap (Horizontally) across the back side as I only tried placing them vertically.

Now I am brain storming ideas again and may have to sidetrack my remodel project - Grr
May try a (Ace Bandage) temporary and wrap it tightly around the back side of the spring mat - Simulate webbing

I fell and landed on tge concrete corner of my porch in Nov landed full weight on my tailbone and broke it not exactly something you can splint I m8ssed the last step on a ladder l rolled up and protected my head from the vehicle a few feet away and forgot about that edge so I feel your pain I have a coccyx pillow I use in the vehicle another in the house. They really help but I had to buy 3 different styles before I settled on the right one . If it helps I can pm you a picture and link.
I have an mri in 2 weeks to decide where they shoot the cortisone in, if those don't help then a nerve ablation is next, the ablations in my neck helped alot.
