Yes, my big-boned brother! While in the factory seats, my hip bones dig into the sides of the seat, which can become painful after a few hours. These seats have that area relieved and I can sit comfortably for long periods of time.

With padding, I believe they're right at 7.5kg. They're similar to stock seats, but the difference in rigidity is vast.

You can absolutely fit two, which is a nice for either aesthetics or ensuring a passenger has the same level of safety on the track.
All FIA seats are upright saloon seats for the reason that when you sit the driver at an inclined angle the body shoots up the back of the seat amplifying the stresses massively.
The Tillett B4 model is undergoing certification at the moment. I won't have a sample of one until I receive the first batch of seats in ~6 weeks. It's similar in style, but was not expressly designed for a Lotus like the seat above was.
This is the B4:
