I toyed with the idea of putting soft copper sheets under my upholstery with a Peltier chip and blower on the other side.

I remember old VWs had that indestructable, perforated vinyl (same on my old Benz) and horsehair or coconut fiber stuffing. Smelled a little funny yet really kept the seats cool on hot days. I imagine finding a supportive foam that had breathable air passages might be unubtainium. Howver, if I found such a foam, I might be just run cooling, de-compressed air under the seat and seat back.

Am surprised however, even with their inefficiencies, that nobody seems to sell peltier cooled seat other than luxury car makers. I lookd up such seats, used on FleaBay and the seem more expensive than a whole A/C system.

Any thoughts? Thanks, Mark
