A local upholsterer dramatically improved my seat's support for $125.

Read my signature...
I rented a car from Enterprise for the day while he did the mods. He had to remove the seat from the car. The "secret" to this is finding a GOOD upholsterer who specializes in restoration work while being unafraid of working on a seat that has integrated side airbags (like mine does). The difference in the lower cushion in particular is AMAZING. It is much firmer and supportive; my butt no longer "sags" into the seat. People who don't have seats with side airbags should find a Sparco seat that fits and order one (or two). I don't think the stock seats are THAT bad, relative to the price of the car. I bought an '09 'Vette the same month I bought the Yaris; those seats were so bad that I sold the car (in addition to other quality related issues).
