Default Comfortable Seats

My wife B_tches about the seats everytime we take a long trip in my '03 C4S. I'm fine with them. They're the stock seat that comes with that model, with no lumbar, no heat. The car is my daily driver, and I'm on target to do 20k-25k per annum.

Before she starts suggesting that we take those trips in our Ford Expedition, what is the most comfortable seat available for my car, if my main use will be "touring?"

I was seriously looking at the Recaro Sport, but in the end decided to go for the factory GT3 seats since my wife hates the car anyway

There is a lot more info on the Recaro website, but their website sucks. My guess is that these would provide better lateral support than stock with a lot more adjustments (options include heat, fans, etc.). Recaro also has some others that are "softer" and OEM'ed by Mercedes.
