Default Anyone do a seat swap on their escape?

I like most of the things in my truck except my seats, they are firmer than I would like and not the most supportive so I would like some better ones. I have the 08 escape, are the newer seats like the 11 and 12 more comfortable? I think that would be the easiest way, otherwise what are my other options. I don't really want a pad cause my hair is already grazing the top of the ceiling when I am leaning to the left.

You may want to consider a "front fold flat passenger seat" to enhance cargo storage. Dealer service manager looked into this for me and quoted me a price but then stated we might have a problem with the electronics/electric and airbag. This is as far I got. You may run into the same issue with a change to a different Escape drivers seat.

I'm not too concerned about the cargo space, I just want a more comfortable driver's seat than my current one, ideally I'd like to put a new terrain seat in it, but I doubt it would be an easy fit.
