    I realized that the Prius driver seat isn't comfortable for a long drive at all. I'm 6'4 and my upper back is like off the seat. I bought a cushion cover to minimize the discomfort but I'm thinking about swapping the driver seat. I'm looking for a old Corolla or Camry manual seat, they are way more comfy.
    Does anyone successfully swapped the driver seat?

    I know the Corolla & Camry seats in the 2013 range look identical to 2004-2009 Prius, but not sure about the seats airbags. Hope someone comes along with more information to help us.

    There are a few threads here on Lexus and Camry seats if you can find them

    I am about your size and have always used a lumbar cushion for the lower back along with a good recline. Also bought an extend a seat bracket to allow the seat to slide further back.

    You're in Los Angeles? There's a bunch of good automotive upholstery shops to choose from there... they can re-stuff your old seat to suit or steer you to resources for a full swap.
