I was wondering what you guys and gals think are the most comfortable car seats out there no matter what type of car or truck or how much they cost. I hear the Mercedes S550 and Lexus LS460 have some of the best any thoughts or opinions? you figure that is where we spend most of the time in the car so why not have the best.
 
Well, this should be classified into econo, luxury and exotic categories! My Honda Civic and CR-V seats are rather comfortable for 4+ hours drives.
 
mkv GTI has a great balance with their leather seats very supportive but not like race seats. thick side and leg bolsters but great lumbar adjustments. I can adjust to the perfect long distance...course they aren't the softest seats but best I've had

Any Recaro seat works well for me...

That's the first thing that crossed my mind too :xyxthumbs But if your car didn't come with 'em, installing them can be tricky these days what with all the integrated safety systems and such.



I find that the firmer/more supportive/"sport" seats are always my preference, especially for long-distance work,but that's just me. A lot of things are gonna depend on the driver's body (e.g., leg/thigh length, how big/wide you are, etc.) and how aggressively you drive (for anything over 0.6g or so I want a seat that'll hold me in place).
 
I'll also agree with the Recaro statement, but the OEM seats in my old 16v GTI were wonderful.



I worked on a Lincoln Continental this week and I forgot how comfy those seats were. It's like driving a couch down the road.

The seats in the 16v usually are Recaros, I thought.
 
I absolutely love the seats in the last gen. Jetta GLIs. I believe they were Recaros. The leather seats that were in my 94 Camry were also extremely comfortable (in a completely different way of course).

Just don't light the aroma therapy candles!:grinno:
 
I find the MkV cloth GTI seats very good. Also the latest BMW 3 series sport seats with lumbar are outstanding.



The Germans seem to know how to make good seats... unlike American car makers!
 
At the last Auto Show I attended I but my butt into just about every car I could. Was surprised the winning seats for me were in a Saab convertible.

Seats in the late model GTO's are amazing. I love the fit and feel of them. Also Viper seat are comfortable as well.

+1 on the GTO. I used to own one and those seats were amazing.



I have never owned a German vehicle, but I have always like the seats on most German cars.



Recaro seats are awesome. I almost bought a car because of these seats (cobalt ss when they first came out).
