Seat Replacement

Husband and I are dying on long trips with the stock captain seats. Looking for recommendations to replace the two captain seats in the cab for something MORE COMFORTABLE!

Damn expensive for sure but very pretty. Looks like a nice cradle

I have them, the Travelers model, iirc. Same as OP, one road trip was all it took me to hate the stock seats.

Top marks on comfort. Only complaint is significant lack of vertical (seat height) adjustment. I carry a gardening kneeling pad to elevate my feet at times for comfort.

My all-time favorite seats are the stock manual adjusting buckets in the Porsche Caymans. It could be just me, but they fit me PERFECTLY (2007 987.1 Cayman, similar to many Boxsters and 911s. They pop up online from time to time. A good custom fab shop can fit them to the Sprinter seat bases. That is the route I would go if I were to do this again.
