Message I needed something more comfortable than stock, definitely needed lumbar adjust for the back. I also was looking for vented/cooled seats.

I ended up going with Recaro Ergomed ES, mainly for the bolster and lumbar adjusts, but also for the possibility of the venting/cooling (I wasn't holding my breath since even OEMs have difficulty pulling this off effectively).

Great lumbar and headrest adjustment. Thigh bolsters are ok. The side bolsters can be a bit uncomfortable the narrower they are adjusted (pointedness increases), but are not too pointed/sharp when slightly narrowed. Electronic tilts work just fine. The heating works wells, but the ventilation is ineffective, which is very sad considering the price point (these are very expensive). I may look at reupholstering and finding a source for perforated foam made for flow (I need to see what is currently being used), or other modifications in the future to increase airflow.

Overall, great seat overall, ventilation is poor, and side bolsters can be sharp when adjusted very narrow.
