Looking for a new/different passenger seat

So my wife gets pretty uncomfortable in the bucket styled seats of the 370z. We take my car to the beach fairly often (2.5 - 3 hours depending on traffic).

Question Looking for a new/different passenger seat

So my wife gets pretty uncomfortable in the bucket styled seats of the 370z. We take my car to the beach fairly often (2.5 - 3 hours depending on traffic). I admit the seats are the best ever, but she likes to sit cross legged on the seat and obviously the way the sides curl up, that's not possible.

So, do you guys think I could get some other sort of Nissan, flat bottom seat and swap out the Z's passenger seat for it? Like maybe out of a Rogue or something?

Yes I know this will make it ugly inside but I'll keep the original seat to put back in, obviously.

Two words: Ejection Seat.

Wonder if G37, Q50 or Q60 seats will fit into 370z.

Or try a memory foam pad?

The Recaro EV08 seats were probably the most comfortable seat to flat bottom seats I have ever seen that will fit into the 370Z. Don’t just replace one seat in the cab that will look silly replace both seats if you are going to replace your seats in your Z! The Nissan 370Z is a Japanese sports car meant for racing seats with bolsters to be installed in the cab. If you search you can find the right seats that fit you. Traveling on long trips in your Z can be comfortable for you and your passenger with the right seats installed and if “comfort” is your goal don’t stiffen up your suspension. An idea for you here are the pics I have of the Recaro EVO8 seats I have.

tell her you will remove the passenger seat for weight reduction if she doesn't like it

Just tell her that sitting cross-legged in the Z is a great way to guarantee injury if you are involved in an accident.
