Not the seat, but maybe a diferent or custom seat could raise your ride hight.

did you already buy one? cause if you didn't maybe look at a different model the Slim is all about the low seat height and the long reach to the bars and controls. I'm 6'2" and have had my Slim a couple months and love the ergos of it.

I would just throw a thicker seat on it! Maybe even a black line seat! That seat on the Slim is thin and rock hard! it looks good tho...lol

You might want to consider a Crossbones seat if you like the look.
