Seat swap.

[Snails Pace Ste]

Has anyone swapped their original seats for more comfier ones and if so was it straight forward. The standard seats in my 2009 moho are terribly firm and my back is in agony after just an hours driving.

I am assuming your seats are in a 'C' Class so original to the van cab.

We have an 'A' Class and the seats fitted by the converter are ISRO. The are adjustable in two ways on the squab, up/down and back, and have good lumber support, even without lumber adjustment.

I suffer from a bit of back pain most of the time, but I can sit in those seats for hours and get out and my back feels better than sitting anywhere else.

They are not suitable for fitting in all cabs, especially for reversing for habitation use, and are not cheap. I would not have any other seat.

I'm confused (doesn't take much! ) I have a Peugeot Boxer PVC, with a Fiat Ducato passenger seat (replaced the pug double seat) both of which have all the adjustments you listed, plus lumber adjustment

Most I've driven non-stop was 565 miles, I needed fuel, otherwise I would have carried on

We felt our 2012 bessacarr (fiat based) seats were uncomfortable after an hour or so and gave us bad neck and backs, we solved it by adding some headrest cushions.

I had to make a plate as seat bases to narrow, also wiring and seat belts had to be adapted, a lot of trouble, think a better idea would be to look for narrower ones.

I was under the impression that van seats was one of the few areas panel van manufacturers actually spent some money. The van's no good if it cripples your drivers.

I found the Ducato seats in my old van a bit basic and firm, but I could drive for hours without issues. Better than my previous BMW with adjustable everything including hugging bolsters. Only issue was I had to slam the seat base down to pretty much the lowest because the swivel base. I also have the back very upright and the seat quite forward. Very sit-up-and-beg rather than laid back.

My current A-class has Agouti (?) seats. They look nicer, but they aren't much different in comfort. I need a loo stop long before I get uncomfortable.

Many thanks! Do you remember what model were your seats from? I mean RR model?
