Can I change my uncomfortable seats?

I bought a Ford Kuga in February this year and cannot fault it - except for the very uncomfortable front driver seat.

They are 'bucket' type seats with padded wings at the side and I cannot find a comfortable driving position. I am considering selling the Kuga, which is such a shame as otherwise the car is perfect.

Can I change the seat to one that doesn't have this 'bucket' style?

Unfortunately replacement seats by people like www.recaro-seats.co.uk/ are even more bolstered. I can't tell you if any other Ford seats will fit. The previous model C-Max had flat, unbolstered seats but the current C-Max has bolsters.
