Replacement seat option?

The drivers seat cushion in my 97 Corolla with over 220k is pretty dead, what are my options for a drop in replacement?
Are the seats from later generations bolt in replacements? I don't want to futz with welding up brackets etc. And I'm guessing that expecting to find a low mileage seat in a junk yard might be a bit much for a 13yr old model.

Other option would be just to replace the cushion, but Google is not finding the part for me, are they available? Or could I swap in the passenger side cushion?

Thanks!

or you can simply replace the seat with another driver seat or even from a 8th generation model i think the bolt pattern is the same as the 7th gen.

I asked this question awhile back and was considering it before I decided my car wasn't worth having more money than needed put into it. General consensus was to take it to an auto upholstery place and have them make a new cushion for it.

Your best bet is to comb the junkyards for a new seat using car-part.com
