Why is it so expensive. Best option seems to be to cut up an IKEA mattress. Anyone got any other suggestions.

Reuse the old cushions unless they have disintegrated. No-one will see discolouration.
Edit: .... and add some polyester wadding for comfort!

They're 45 years old. Just going to wash them again but thought new might be a better option.

Joscelyn has made quite a few boat cushions over the years, for our own, and for friends', boats.
Most recently (last month), she made settee/ berth cushions for a friend's Haven Class motor sailer.
She got the foam from these people: https://www.thecheapshoptiptree.co.uk/..
Total cost for the two settee bases, and the two backs, was around £140, all supplied ready cut to her pattern.
There's numerous potential problems with using the old foam, including fire risk.
Good luck!

Got all my seating foam from:
Sofa Cushion Foam Cut To Size | Replacement Cushion - GB Foam Direct
….they’ll cut to size, glue on a Dacron covering and stockinette outer sleeve as options.

Why bother being cheap about the replacement? I had someone redo all mine.. It cost over a £1000 including new foam and all upholstery for everything.
The original was musty and old. It was over a £1000. But It won't have to be done again for at least another 20 years!
