It's probably a combination of broken springs and dry padding. DIY? Possibly. The springs may need some welding and the fabric covering the seats is often a mess when you open it up.

Hey Mike, I have the opposite problem. My seat seems less lumpy -- no, wait a minute ... its just that my wallet is getting thinner. [:p]

There's a step by step on seat pad replacement in the Technical Manual.
