Comfortable Seats?

I have an 07 LS and i find the seats rather uncomfortable. Dont do crazy long distance driving but not too short either. About 40 miles a day or so. Anyone else feel the same way or know of any way to fix this or any options?

I hated the look and feel of my stock LS seats. So, I picked up a set of ION Recaros off ebay. I love these seats.

got the Recaros in my car--I f*cking LOVE them. I couldn't go without them. I load bombs and missiles for a living, so as you can imagine--I have a bad back. I drove to Texas and back, then to Iowa and back--and overall, VERY comfortable. I think they're worth every penny if you can find them.

One thing to consider is why you think the stock seats are uncomfortable. Not enough padding, not wide enough, not enough lower back support, etc?
Personally, I don't carry much extra weight and don't get enough exercise, so the stock SS/SC seats make my skinny ass go numb after about 4 hours. If I sit on a thin pillow it helps greatly, so maybe I need more padding.
Try the Recaros and see if they help. If you don't like them there are tons of sport and racing seats out there. Summit Racing has them starting at about $159 each, but obviously you have to work up some mounting hardware too. I'm lucky that I live within an hour of Summit and went there and tried out many of their seats.

Another possibility is to get the stock seat cushion reshaped and reupolstered. Might not be too expensive, depends on where you get it done.

just my 2 cents, your reality may differ
