Default Driver seat recommendations

The stock seat in my 97 is killing my back. I drive about 40 min. straight getting to or from work everyday so I need something a bit more ergonomic. I came from a '95 Limited 4Runner which had some real comfy seats that held you well around the sides. I loved them. These in the lude seem a bit under-supportive on the sides and the contour of the back is awful. I know about Recaro, but I don't want to pay for a freaking name. I also don't need harness ability as I will not upgrade to that any time soon. I just want an affordable seat that I could easily fit into the lude. Hopefully without much modifications. I would be glad to even grab a blood stained one from a junk yard, just as long as it supports my back and holds me in the seat a bit more.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!!

4th gen seats are pretty good and have the side supports if don't want to spend too much cash...

Ive never sat in a 5th gen, but i think that 4th gen seats are very comfy. Ive heard rumors that the 4th gen seats are actually designed/made by Recaro? Can anyone confirm?

i would say to get some nicer acura seats, like a rsx, tsx, or legend or something. the luxury cars are always going to have more comfortable seats. i'm not sure how big of a guy you are, but the buddy club seats hold me like a glove and they have a cool little arch on the back of the seat that really helps my back support. but they can't be reclined and i always have people sitting in back so it would be a problem for me.
