Default Re: Prius seats and bad backs?

A couple of you alluded to custom seats that can be installed. But I didn't see anything more specific. I do live near Berkeley, if you're talking about California. Do any of you know of a source for custom seats for the Prius?

BTW, I just bought my brand new Prius yesterday. I installed a couple of cushions today. Make that three cushions! But most of the seat bottom cushions put my head into the ceiling, and I'm just 5'6”.

I think I've got good support now for the lumbar spine, but can imagine that the angle of the seat is going to get old. I'm used to a car with total power seats with lots of adjustment, so I could just change it when one position got tiring.

I have a long history with back pain and car seats. And the dealer has a 3-day 300 mile money-back offer, so I've got to decide if this will work for me. It would be great to know how to get more information about custom seats.

Thank you!
