What are seat swap options for a 17 Subaru Crosstrek? The stock seats are not very comfortable and I've tried many different configuarations.

I'd assume that you could swap over seats from an Impreza since the Crosstrek is a close relative, but I'm sure someone else here has more in-depth advice.

I'm not sure if they are meaningfully different but the seats in my 2018 trek are pretty good. I've done a few 12 hour days without being uncomfortable

We have a '15 Forester, and I was going to look into a spacer that lifts the front of the seat to give it a bit more tilt to the rear.  Other have said they're well-made, but they seem pricey. Others swap WRX seats in, but some don't like the side bolsters.

In reply to spandak :

Same with my '19. We did Ohio to Disney and back, I had a sore on my elbow from the console but the seats were decent.

I've been doing a good amount of research and watching videos about the spacers/risers might be the easiest/cheapest option. Reading the reviews looks promising.
