How do you find aftermarket cabin filters for seats?

Pole Position
In the UL there's one in each seat, plus one in each rear side sill, plus the glovebox cabin filter, plus the trunk rear A/C cabin filter (the big sucker) = 8.

Received and installed today. A real PITA to install, and man are they tiny!! If I knew they were that small, Id have tried to come up with another solution, like buying a filter from Home Depot and cutting to size. Almost $60 shipped is a real rip for these itty bity things IMO. Anyway, theyre swapped out and the old ones were just filthy, so thanks everyone for your help.
After all these conversations about bodily fluids and stuff, well, my new floor mats will be here in a couple of days too, lol.

Im sorry I didnt take any pics but I hope I can help anyway. Theyre a pain to get to. What you want to do is remove the small drawer in each of the front seats, then raise the seats all the way up, then pushed all the way back. Theyre towards of the front of the seats, down pretty low. Theyre inside a plastic compartment, and they clip in with a little plastic clip on each side of the filter. Pop the old one out by pushing out one of the outside clips on the old filter, then squirm the new one around until you can get to pop in the same way the old one was popped in.
Hope that helps.

Does changing the seat filter improve the air flow through the seats much? I've got to say that on my pre-owned '06 the ac through the seats is not that impressive.

Easy enough to find them for the AC cabin filter, but what about for the ones in the seats? Im sure Ive seen them online before, but now I cant find them anywhere. I must not be searching for them correctly as I know amazon carries them from a bunch of manufacturers. What should I be looking for?

My car seat cooling works okay. I can feel the cool air coming out of the seat. With the cooling left off the passenger seat I can feel that it is warm while my seat has cool air flowing thru it. What more would I want?

anybody find an answer to this question...in particular for the front seat filters since those do need to be replaced? the OEM version is like 22$ and I'd estimate the Denso version ought to be half that, if I could find it. Searching Denso website yields nothing, just the main A/C filter up front in the glove box.
so anybody find aftermarket equivalents to the front seat filters?
