Wondering if seats from an XK8 would fit...maybe you could find a car for sale and see if they're more comfortable for you.

I think the seats are great, but that's my opinion. If you could help us understand why they don't work for you, we can probably help find a suitable replacement?

I've also never heard of any XJS owner who has been unhappy with a standard seat. Has some of the foam collapsed or the webbing straps broken or deteriorated perhaps?

Maybe the rubber piece that is the base of the upholstery "sandwich", if it's broken, I could imagine that it would be pretty unsupportive and uncomfortable.

My passenger seats practically brand new. The driver's seat center cushion either need some replaced and I tried to put the left side cushion. Lumbar is collapsed so it's still uncomfortable

Is the passenger seat comfortable for you? I would think that fixing the drivers seat, or finding a good used one would be better than trying to fit a seat from a different model. The parts are available, I think, if you want to do it yourself or an upholstery shop can do it.
