IMHO I'd wait & see what the new Exmoor seat is like, as it sounds/priced just about right; IIRC it's released on 16/7?

If money absolutely no object get the Recaros.
If you want more value for money I would wait to hear some feedback on the upcoming Exmoor seats released on 16th July. Look to be very much like the Corbeau's. |

I was going to do exactly this...
I think the Corbeaus look great... but when I sat in them, I found the shoulder support bolsters were too tight and narrow for me and made turning/twisting around virtually impossible. The Recaro's have a less pronounced shoulder bolster... they are great seats but body expensive! Will be interested in what the new Exmoor seats are like...  YOLO... You Only Live Once... |

Then don't listen to anyone recommending one brand over another. There's only one way to do it properly and that's to sit in an example of each and see what actually fits your particular body shape. This may mean you have to put a few miles in travelling to try, but it's an expensive item to get wrong. Owners here may be helpful and let you try theirs? |

Good advise, I might try and organise a trip to Exmoor Trim.
By the way supacat, where did you get the sticker in your avatar ? |

It's just a photo I found on the internet - it's not actually a sticker on my vehicle. |

Another quality seat to consider are the Sheelmann seats. Not exactly a cheap seat but very comfortable.
As already mentioned try seating in the seats first as comfort is dependent on your body shape plus exact contours of the seat. Lots of fast off-road then a seat which 'grabs' your body, frequent stops, getting in and out low seat base bolster cushions on outside edge. Try your preferred seat first. Then there is electric seat heater, pneumatic lumber support If your current seats are comfortable and you just want to change the look of the interior get high quality seat covers. Brendan |

Recaro IMHO has better lining and holds laterally the body better but both are very very good seats way way way better than the original (not comparable) Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated Discovery 5 td6 HSE Stornoway Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition

Once again cost is an issue with the Scheelmann seats. They're roughly the same cost as the Recaros. Both the Recaro and Scheelmann are brilliant seats if money no object but no way are they twice as good as the Corbeau's. Yet they're twice the price.
If the new upcoming Exmoor seats prove to be as good as they look, then for the price they win hands-down. Especially as they come with heaters and all runners included in price.. |
