I can recommend a Herman Miller Aeron Chair. It takes a small amount of adjusting but its easily the most supportive chair I have used. Also its all mesh so you don't get sweaty. They also offer a repair service if you find yourself needing it.

I have a Mirra 2 for a bit cheaper than the Aeron, and it's also fantastic. (My work had Mirra 1's and I knew I loved them!) I wasn't sure about recommending for OP since they asked for cushion... But I do love my HM.

OP, if mesh isn't on the table, still check if Herman Miller has any options with materials you like. My husband also didn't love the butt support on one of his chairs before we got the HM's, and he got a pillow from Purple. They're fairly affordable, but excellent support.

Steelcase Leap v2 ergonomic with an ultimate purple cushion is what I use, any other setup and my bottom/back of thighs go numb or start to hurt.

Might work for you to just throw an ultimate purple cushion on your current chair.

I have the Herman Miller embody. It’s a great chair with a 12 year warranty.

If there is a show room near you I suggest you visit one and try out all the herman Miller chairs to find the one that best suits you.

I had a herman miller Aero, was a good chair but got uncomfortable after long periods for me. I'd say it's worth a try since they have great resell value. I actually sold my Aero for $50 more than I paid back in 2020.

I switched to the secret lab titian I much prefer this chair but the aesthetic probably isn't for everyone.

I've used aeron and steel case chairs but the best is a simple Bungie cord style office chair from Amazon. A couple of hundred dollars is all they cost and really helped me with my lower back pain.

This is a you question and not one for the internet. Search for chairs using the search engine and you will see the brands we recommend. Visit google and find the retailers near you for an in person fit check and barring that, find a retailer with an acceptable return policy. To my knowledge, zero BIFL chair makers have a 6" seat pad, so you are going to have to find an aftermarket one or get a chair and have one custom made at a local uphostery shop.
