Most comfortable seats in Standard Cab?

Most comfortable seats in Standard Cab?
I have searched and found tons of threads on seats but not alot about how comfortable they were and was the swap successful. I have an 86 standard cab project. I don't mind fabbing brackets or buying some after market seats, Mastercraft, PRP, or ?, but I want to be comfortable when spending all day long on the trail.
The bench in the truck was trashed so I found some seats on craigslist that I think were from a Taurus. They seemed comfortable out on the ground, I cut and welded and mounted them up. I tested on a number of short trips and I still thought they were great. Yesterday went on a trail ride. We left at 2PM and got back about 11PM. My back was killing me. I think the problem is the seat wont recline far enough in the standard cab. If I slide the seat way forward it seems to feel a little more comfortable but then the right leg is pretty cramped going between the gas and brake.
I am not tall, only 5' 10 or so it seems I should be able to make something work in the standard cab.
Another thing I realized afterward about the seats that doesnt affect comfort but I couldnt fold them forward which makes it harder to stuff a jacket or other supplies behind the set.
So who has found a very comfortable option that works in the standard cab?

My SR5 buckets are really comfortable haha, but im not sure if they will give you enough room in your standard cab. You can adjust them to hold your sides in and push the lower part of your back out, i think its called lumbar.

The drivers seat has a cover, there is a bitty rip on the edge, drives me nuts. But the seats were 50 bucks for both, so until I repair it, its covered. (I think from an 05 4 runner) Room is good once i am in, i an short, 5'8" and my head still hits when i get in. Way taller than my bench. And the Pass seat is now out, room for my Dog.
