Plusher on the seat cushion as well as the back?

Default 4 ways - 6"1

Interesting, I have the 4 way sport seats and they fit great but I am only 6"1 although my legs are long for my height. I guess there is a seat for every butt.

What I would highly caution you on is the 4 ways if you have long legs. I have sat in 2 cars with 4 ways, and being 6'5" they just don't work. I actually passed on a car with them because your legs have no support leaving all of the pressure right on your butt which isnt too comfortable. The 14 ways and 18 ways which have thigh support (up and down in the front of the seat) distribute the weight more evenly.
4 ways
