Does anyone make a rear seat with a backrest?

no. but i just dropped my seats off at the upholstary shop after i refoamed them. i made the back one similar to the touring seat for the little lady. it has a swoop on the back to keep her from sliding back. i should have them back before the end of the week. i will post pics.

Looks nice. The fabric has something of a matte appearance that I am not familiar with. Is it leather or vinyl?

its vinyl.the pic was taken with my phone. its textured to look like leather. its hard to tell in the pic. i did all the foam work myself. i modeled the pillon after the touring pillon.i made the front seat a little thick, so it kinda tips me forward. i might take it apart and cut it down. i didnt have the bike on hand to test it. it cost me like $150 to have them covered. its a firm foam with a cupped shape, then i put a piece of soft foam to fill in the cup and make it easier to cover.

I had my rear pillion redone by Sergent.
they added width, raised the front by 1.5 inches and covered it with a material that jeans will not slide on. Then I added a Ventura rack. It's not supposed to be a backrest but its heavy duty enough and I will add some sort of extra mount to make it safer to lean against. Its about the only option I've found. My girlfriend did not complain all week in Daytona, did not slide into me and did not fall off the back. She said the seat was much better. In fact she said it was more comfy than my V-Strom ! We did some 4 hour days too.
