Hi guys I'm in the Uk near the M50.

I have a Mercedes Sprinter and the seats (like in all Mercedes commercials, especially with back problems) are far too hard, so I want to change them.

Ideally I'd like an armchair, but as they're not crash tested I'll walk on by. A seat that does come highly recommended with arm rests is from a Honda Odyssey as shown here - http://www.bitz.me.uk/hondaodysseyseat01.JPG (shown fitted to an American RV). As far as I can tell the HO is only available in the States. They seem to be very similar to the ones used for the middle row of a Chrysler Voyager, but on testing the CV I found they could be doing with being a little softer and in need of more wrap around the sides.

A seat I did find comfy was from the old Rover SD1, but as they're extinct and don't have arm rests they're no longer an option. Seats with lumber supports are not an option either as my spine bends the wrong way frown As a very last resort, I could fit after market arm rests, but they tend to look crap.

Any ideas welcome on what vehicle may have suitable seats are welcome.

Thanks in advance of any help smile

I have always found Volvo seats comfortable should be able to pick some up out of a V70/C70 cheap.

Yep. V70 or Saab 95 Aero seats would be my first choice.
