Our Pilote motorhome driver and passenger seats tend to become a bit uncomfortable on a long drive. Once swivelled round onsite with armrests down, they are a bit better so maybe it's a posture issue together with old bones I've had a search around and there are numerous cushions/ supports etc on the market, all claiming to solve your sore back etc, so am looking for some recommendations based on actual experience. Can anyone recommend any good quality extra supports/cushions, that can be fitted even semipermanently to Fiat Ducato seats , or a good supplier of such products ?

Many thanks.

Yes, I had forgotten that but the previous Peugeot seats were good too.

Driving is fine. It is the leisure positioning that is difficult to get quite right. I found it was mostly the leg position with the seat too high for serious lounging. I've made a small raised step for the area under the table which has the benefit of being a spot to store shoes underneath.

There is/was a company that made lowered seat boxes for the cab seats on most base vehicles that had swivels fitted which tended to make the cab seats too high

Thanks everyone for your valued input and many good points raised.😀

Sounds like some extra memory foam type cushions might help, with trial and error positioning, as opposed to fixed 'Backfriend' type of aid, which is what I had originally looked at, but wanted to hear a real-life review first.

Seems like I will have plenty time to experiment in the driveway before we're out on the road again, unfortunately.

Appreciate all the helpful comments, stay safe !
