Question Searching for new seats

My fiancee and I agree that my new xB (as much as I love it), isn't the greatest on long trips as far as comfort goes. Does anyone have any advice about some better seats for a '10 xB?

if you are looking into aftermarket seats, i would go for BRIDES that are reclinable. One of the best comfy seats that I've ever sat on. Or you can get some clazzio leather seat covers, which I heard were pretty comfy as well.
Another choice are Sparco seats, especially the Torino's or Milano's

I dont have any aftermarket seats (Im searching as well) but from what I see and hear, seems like for the price and quality, Corbeau's may be the way to go...

I had the CR1s in my tC and were great.
Adjustable, lumbar support and they hug you.
Made driving x30 better!

We could agree on nothing, but that's not important. As long as we respect each other opinions. /circle jerk

Thanks for the help. Also, if I pull the trigger, I know I'll lose my side airbags (obviously). Do you need to do anything special so it won't throw a code? If it throws a code, will all airbags become not functional?

Why not go with clazzio? cheaper, and from what I hear much more comfortable and you won't loose the airbag. Also you can get heated seat inserts for them and you won't need aftermarket seatbelts which get uncomfortable.
