Have you tried original seats ?
I have the original seat backs in mine (from '56) but the bases had have re-made many years ago.
Drove from Melbourne to Cooma in 2008 without issue, not exactly uncomfortable but also not exactly comfortable either. We stopped & changed driver whenever the fuel tank needed filling so got a brief leg-stretch.
Changing the seats impacts on the resale value and unless it's going to be a daily driver why would you change them ?
Worth trying some in someone's Series I, you could change foam density or use two different densities so it looks original but is more comfortable.
