Hi I have a set of cobra monico bucket seats. I wouldent say there that comfortable on a long journey but they are really supportive and hold you in well when taking corners fast (On a track of course)ive got my hands on a pair, are they just cosmetic or do they actually make journeys more comfortable?!

I had Cobra Classics in my mini and they were pretty good. They're pretty comfy and hold you well enough in the bends.
I had Cobra Monaco S in my 205 GTi and whilst they held you in very well, they were horrible to do long journeys in, the bases haven't got great padding and as such they tend to become very uncomfortable after about an hour.

I've got some Mamba seats - they're very comfortable and I could easily sleep in them!
Some buckets will need harnesses though, and they can be a bit of a pain in a daily driver.

I've got Cobra Monaco S buckets, they're reasonably comfy but I haven't been that far in mine. When I go round corners a bit quick they hold me fine, but don't hold onto the rail on the floor so make a bang :s need to get that sorted

Ive got cobra classics, they're nice and comfy and hold you well, but my back tends to ache on long journeys because of how I sit when I'm driving and the top of my back isn't leaning on the seat! I'm not sure though if I just drive sitting funny!
I really like the look of them though

They are corbeau classics and they are very comfy and hold well, much better than the standard seats they replaced, just dont have someone with a big backside try and sit in em !

iv got cobra clubmans, they are quite comfy, i have harnesses, so i dont move very much when cornering hard, only harnesses are a tad annoying, they need adjusting for different passengers, lol
