Most comfortable car seat?
Discussion
Sat in a jag s-type seat a few years ago and felt immediately comfortable. I can just imagine doing a long journey in them with no aches or pains.
My focus has good seats too. I've done a few 500 mile round trips in them and felt very comfy once settled. They are the Zetec chairs which hug you a bit more than the ghia/titanium.

All Saab seats, but the ones in my 9000 aero were so good that they are being transplanted into my campervan.
would you mind awfully getting me some width measurements for those, I think Ill go with yhose if I can find them and get them to fit. looks like all electrics are contained within the seat tooRude-boy said:
Not my car as I don't have a pic to hand but Google is my friend.
Just over 4k miles in mine since Feb and these have to be God's gift to seating. To look at and when you first shoehorn in my 34"-36" waist you think hmm. After a couple of minutes you start to fall in love and the first time you start to make progress you really notice.
They are just fantastic, be it for a 5 minute trip or for 4-5 hours at a stretch only stopping for long enough to full up.
The only downside at all is that you do have to climb in and out of them but that is no hardship and only adds to the sense of occasion, even if it is my DD!

BMW's "Comfort seat" available on the 5 and 7 series they are amazing.
My E39 has a comfort seat option.Split backrest so you can get upper and lower back nicely supported, nicely shaped head restraint that can be positioned just right to support your head whilst driving. Full electric adjustment and heating along with inflatable and moveable lumbar support.
It's like driving your nan's armchair.

MR2 Turbo Seats.
4 position lumbar adjustment
Bolster tightness adjustment
Seat height adjust
Never sat in a more comfortable OE or aftermarket seat, so much so that I'd seriously consider retrofitting one into my next car.
Exactly what I was going to say! Seriously comfortable.4 position lumbar adjustment

Firstly
- for not recognising a 968 CS interior...must study harder..;)I am after some comfortable race seats for my GT4 for everyday use and thought I might have had a recommendation then......thought those looked like Recaro Profi SPA seats......oh well.....does anyone know if they are Porsche's own design or are they bought in?
The 'Sports' seats in my 2002 Audi A4 1.8T Sport. Independant front and rear height adjustment, squab length adjustable and lumber support that could be moved up and down as well as in and out (electrical). Decent side support. When initially settling into the seat felt to be too hard but after a few hours driving seemed perfect. Think that seat won a German award for seat design in 2003.

Fixed back Porsche 968 CS seats
Look like Recaro Pole Positions... You probably know that... They're the OE seats in the Audi TT Quattro Sport too. I loved the seats in my old Escort RST (same as Cosworth recaro's).
I found the DC2 seats a bit narrow but the DC5 seats spot on.
Recaro CS's (as found in the FRS and many others) are beautiful seats.
One of my favourites are the 207 GTI's. They are so comfortable yet bloody supportive and the driving position was pretty good too!

Pretty sure they are recaro pole positions or SPG seats.Firstly

I'd add a plus one for the fixed bucket vote; over the years i've had a few sets of recaro's, and although they are comfy seats they are not a patch on the recaro SPG i've done over 20,000 miles in. Never once had a sore back or felt in an awkward driving position
