NB8C vs. NB8B seats

Could someone please tell me whether the seats in an NB8C are ergonomically any different from the seats in an NB8B?

I've just bought an NB8C (yay! it is lovely!), having previously had an NB8B. I know the seats in my new car look slightly different, and it feels to me like they have less lumbar support, but suspect that's just my nostalgia, plus the fact that I haven't finished fiddling with my seating position on the new car yet, plus the fact that my back's sore from the train ride I took to pick up the car.

Thanks!

The difference is in the NB8A seats, but that said, you're talking about a car that's more than 10 years old...

As mentioned, NB8A to NB8B/C are different seats, but I wasn't aware of any differences NB8B to NB8C ...

Thanks. It's my nostalgia then. Rose-tinted spectacles ... or a rose-tinted bottom.

The nb8c seats are covered in a much better material than the stuff that you see worn through on every nb8b.
Different coverings can make the same seat feel different, think about leather vs. cloth.

Right, good point.
