Ok so in order for me to make my mini my daily driver again i need some long journey proof seats! Any one have any opinions on which are the comfiest? Any other suggestions on making distances more bearable? Like sound deadening etc

Cheers guys! :smartass:

My sofa is the comfiest seat Ive ever sat in, always thought leather would be cold and horrible, but it soaks you up and I quite often doze off in it.

Hope that helps :tongue:

Them seats look lush puddings.

I like the look of them big recliners cobra do, i think they do them in leather aswell, or maybe fake leather......they look real comfy. There were some at bingley. Although i didn't have the 575 quid :sad:

and get a sound deadning kit its worth it!! they were selling at bingley for £10!!
try to also get a roll then you can do the boot and the bulkhead. the more the better. i'm sure there was a feature in the mini mag last year about it but i'm not sure which one. hope this is some help :grin:

I've got some Equinox seats (similar seat, just different fabric?), and they do my back in on long journeys.

I've got some Recaros in my blue Mini, which I believe are from an Astra GTE. Very comfy. :rolleyes: It's one of the main reasons why I want to take my blue Mini on the Nurburgring trip! :grin:
