I have a crap back and the standard BA seats used to give me a sore lower back, so much so that i used to use a towel as lumbar support. I bought the MS seats that are in my car to onsell, but thought i'd throw them in to see what they're like. They've never left it, because they're just so much more supportive. I can to 8hour trips pretty much nonstop now, and my back feels fine. They're that good.

But yes they're a bit harder to get out of due to the higher sides - but they're still better than something like a Recaro SR3 which are a pain in the arse to get out of. You don't have to be skinny, but someone with quite large hips may have issues.

I'll check which one is the best and shoot you a PM.
