Über855R Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I want to replace my seats down the road and am starting to think about what I want. The two main options I am looking at are the Recaro Orthoped http://www.recaro-automotive.com/us/product-areas-us/aftermarket-seats/product/orthoped.html and the Other is the Ergomed http://www.recaro-automotive.com/us/product-areas-us/aftermarket-seats/product/ergomed-es.html Hopefully those links work. Here comes the question part. The Ergomed has the option of a side airbag, this option seems ideal since removing the stock seat means removing the airbag. Any thoughts on the effectiveness of a side airbag or necessity to retain that feature are welcome? I keep leaning towards the Orthoped because of the mildly bolstered cushion which would allow me to transfere to and from a wheelchair easier than a deeper bolster design. Unfortunately the side airbag is not offered with the (To my knowledge.) If anyone has first hand experience sitting in both or either I would like your input. Thoughts on the bolsters, comfort, adjustability, climate control, finish materials, etc. are welcome... About the finish options, has anyone ever touched the Recaro nardo and artista materials? I am wondering if jean fabric could easily slide over this material when i slide in and out or if it is more of a friction type of feeling. Again, I use a wheelchair so these considerations matter. Another question is about the brackets. The Recaro site lists brackets for a s/v-70 but they are shown as discontinued. Would these brackets directly fit an 850 assuming I could track some down? I know these are pricey so it will be a someday project. Also if anyone has comparable alternatives to suggest please do so. The features I would like most are power adjustable, COMFORTABLE, and low seat bottom bolsters. Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
