The seats in my 2004 Outback are horrible and make my back hurt. I am looking into either replacing the seats or getting a padded seat cover. Since I figure it will be easier to go from Subaru to Subaru, does anyone know what other model Subaru seats fit the 04 Outback?

 

Thank you

Not sure about the Outback but I drove a 2010 Forester the other day and the seats in that I swear were the same as the ones in my 96 Legacy, just covered in leather instead of upholstery. They weren't very comfortable either.

00 - 04 certainly, but all of those seats will be like your.

 

95 - 99 probably, i think my leather seats came out of an 01.

 

90 - 94 maybe

 

have you tried other subaru seats? what is it about yours that are bad?

My 1999 Subaru Outback has comfortable seats (and the lumbar support helps after a hard day at work). It has far better lateral support with those side bolsters than my mom's Dodge minivan

 

What makes your Outback's seats uncomfortable???

My mom has a 2010 Forester and her seats are horrible.

 

A friend has an 03 Legacy and the seats are alright, but still not comfortable.

 

I'm not even sure exactly what it is about them, but they are so uncomfortable, they make my back ache. I think its the lack of bolster? Its totally flat, hard, with no back support. Even the adjustable support doesnt help at all.

 

I guess I was trying to figure out what other Subaru models will fit in the Outback that may be more comfortable.
