There are few things worse than spending a couple of hours behind the wheel of a car only to realize its seats aren’t as comfy as they looked. It makes the daily commute that much more unpleasant and it makes road trips tiresome. Most cars, thankfully, have comfortable seats, but there are some that go above and beyond the norm. These cars have seats that are highly adjustable, include special features, and work for drivers of all shapes and sizes. Here are the 10 cars with the most comfortable seats.
The Nissan Altima is a mid-size sedan with a comfortable and spacious interior. It’s fully redesigned this year with a larger cabin and the latest version of Nissan’s Zero-Gravity seats.

There’s a choice of fabric or leather trims with a standard eight-way power driver’s seat that includes two-way lumbar on the top trim levels.
