    The only way I am aware off adding room is to lengthen the body.

    How thick are the seat back cushions?

    You really don't need much padding here, but you do need a lumbar support and an angled seat back.

    A 2" thick upholstered firm foam pad will do it.
    Upholstery shops carry foams in different thicknesses and densities.

    Making your own seat & back bases from plywood is easily done.
    And upholstery shops will have no problems padding and upholstering the plywood backs.
