Has anyone improved their Prius Seat?

Looking to buy a Prius, but it doesn't have the lumbar support I prefer. Has anyone found an aftermarket seat? Or come up with another effective solution?
I drive a Prius at work and I take along my own lumbar cushion. This helps around town but not very effective for longer drives.
Thanks.

Any answers? My seat is also very uncomfortable.
Well, I bought the Prius - bad back and all.
I found a lumbar support cushion at The Driver's Seat. Works okay. I can tolerate it for a near-zero emissions car.

I am buying a Prius this week. I'm not fond of the uncomfortable seat. I have found an aftermarket company that will make adjustments to the seat. Like... inserting an air lumbar support, altering the padding to fit my needs. Hope it works!
Well, did it work out? Are you pleased with the aftermarket seat? can you share the name of the aftermarket company?
We drove a rental south to the florida keys, having arthritis and two hip replacements, I found the car to be quite alright, I own a Avalon and bought it because of the hi seat selection. the prius seats were not uncomfortable in the front, a bit hard in the back, but often I dont sit in the back of a car. we put over 1800 miles on this trip and my back was fine. quite impressed with the prius. thank you.
anyone have anymore suggestions? i just purchased a 2008 and am sooooo uncomfortable.
i had a similar problem with a volvo v50 and actually had to return the car. ( lost a lot of money on that deal)
So what's the deal with the seat. Is there an aftermarket seat? If so, who, where and how can I buy one?
give this sight a try. they have top quality products and this cushion looks thin, yet knowing their quality, it will be very good. they also have several good wedges for lumbar.

I just bought the '08 fully loaded Prius and within days was crippled (never had a bad back day in my life). Anyone know of the after market adjustment the poster wrote of? I am considering selling it..not worth the pain..
I had a test-drive with the Prius and could not believe how bad the seat felt. It must have been designed by some sofa scrambling teenagers. They make absolutely no sense to my or my spouses back. Also the leg support is missing, witch results in tired knees after a while. Then the hand brake ( foot hand brake ) comes in the way when one wants to stretch out the left leg. Nice for short legs
Hey Toyota ! check out a BMW z1 or so to learn something about car interior design that is corresponding to human body ergonomics. That would get me back on the Prius road. Until then : Ouch !
I bought my Prius about a month ago and it's killing my back too. Before I purchased it I rented it from Hertz for a few days to see if I'd like it and I don't recall it bothering my back then. I'm miserable in this car. I'm loving the mpg, but the back pain is almost too much to deal with.
I think the Prius hybrid car's are very much popular in the develop countries now in developing countries like india many companies are coming with hybrid car's.
