Default Poor mans seat pad (for passenger)

Headed on a trip, and the wifey wants a gel pad for her seat...it's a Mustang pillion for a police bike...nice and thick and wide!

I see Harley has a nice fancy air pump type...

Anyone have any cheapo alternatives?

If you have any medical supply places near you you might be able to find a gel pad there.
