Is the RECARO Comfort Ergomed E street legal?

Yes. The RECARO Comfort Ergomed E carries ABE and TÜV component certification, making it a road-going comfort seat rather than a competition shell. It is also available with a universal side airbag, so the seat can be specified to keep airbag functionality in vehicles where the factory seat carried a side airbag.

Are seat mounts included?

No. Mounts are sold separately and are vehicle-specific, so the correct bracket has to be matched to your chassis. Order the mount alongside the seat, since the bracket sets fitment and final seat height, and it needs to allow clearance for the electric height adjustment to travel through its full range.

Is the RECARO Comfort Ergomed E sold as a pair?

No. It is sold as a single left or right seat, so a matching pair takes two orders with the correct side specified on each. Anyone fitting both sides should plan on two sets of mounts as well, since each side takes its own vehicle-specific bracket.

What adjustments does the seat offer?

Electric height adjustment, manual backrest adjustment, manual tilt, an extendable seat cushion, lumbar support, an adjustable headrest and backrest release on both sides. Height runs 790mm to 850mm and depth 500mm to 550mm, so the seating position can be dialled in closely rather than accepted as fixed.

What does the AGR seal of quality mean?

AGR e.V. is the German Campaign for Healthier Backs, and its seal marks products independently assessed as back-friendly. The Ergomed E, Style XL Topline, Sport C and Podium have all earned it, which matters most for drivers covering high mileage or spending working hours in the vehicle.

Can it be ordered with heating and ventilation?

Yes, as an optional climate package covering both seat heating and air conditioning. In warm conditions a breathable membrane and the integrated system draw moisture away to keep you dry; in cold weather the heating delivers steady warmth. Specify the package at the time of order, as it is not retrofittable.

Putting Your Senses in the Driving Seat

RECARO seats are more than a collection of components. They represent innovation, quality, premium materials, craftsmanship, and a deep passion for automobiles. Ranging from exceptional comfort and advanced ergonomics to uncompromising sporting character, each product reflects the diverse and demanding expectations of its owners, all delivered with the unmistakable quality associated with RECARO. The result is cutting-edge performance designed to place the driver firmly at the center of the driving experience.

Every Inch Luxurious

Carefully selected surfaces, premium carbon, exclusive leather, and precise stitching that follows the seat’s contours define the visual and tactile quality of a RECARO seat. Style, advanced materials, and outstanding craftsmanship come together to create a product that meets the brand’s exacting standards. Ultra-light carbon, advanced composites, and high-quality foams and textiles complete the materials portfolio. Traditional craftsmanship is evident throughout, from seams and cushions to the final finish, with meticulous attention paid to every detail. To ensure authenticity, each seat is equipped with a forgery-proof hologram sticker, allowing owners to register their seat and join the exclusive RECARO Club.

Unconditional Comfort

Comfort depends heavily on maintaining the right temperature in all conditions. RECARO addresses this with an advanced climate concept designed for year-round use. In warm weather, a breathable membrane and integrated air conditioning system help draw away moisture to keep occupants dry without causing chill. In cold conditions, RECARO seat heating provides consistent, pleasant warmth.

Make Yourself at Home

An ergonomic seating position is fundamental to comfort. RECARO designs its seats to make driving feel restorative rather than tiring. Intelligent comfort features and carefully shaped contours support the body effectively, transforming every journey into a more enjoyable experience.
- Proper support is essential because driving places the body in a largely passive position, which can be physically demanding over time. Depending on driving conditions, factors such as centrifugal forces, braking loads, and vibrations affect the body, often leading to muscle tension, circulation issues, headaches, or reduced concentration during long drives.
- A well-designed automotive seat must counteract these stresses through support and protection. RECARO achieves this with ergonomic seat structures, body-hugging contours, firm upholstery, pronounced side bolsters, finely adjustable settings, breathable covers, and comfort features such as heating or air conditioning.

Sit Back & Relax

Many drivers are familiar with arriving at their destination feeling tense and fatigued after extended time behind the wheel. RECARO seats are designed so drivers step out feeling relaxed and prepared, even after long journeys. This outcome is the result of RECARO’s expertise in ergonomic design and its focus on adapting the seat to the individual’s needs.

The Seal of Approval for Your Back

In modern society, mobility plays a central role, with many people spending significant portions of their day in the car, often treating it as a workplace. The AGR e.V. seal of quality from the German Campaign for Healthier Backs helps identify products that promote spinal health. Models such as the RECARO Ergomed E, Style XL Topline, Sport C, and RECARO Podium have earned this certification.

Peak Body Support Performance

A defining characteristic of every RECARO seat is the feeling of sitting in the seat rather than on it. This concept, known as Body Support, creates a close connection between driver and vehicle. A low center of gravity, firm and compact upholstery, and unrestricted arm movement contribute to precise control and confident handling. Supportive structures and pronounced side bolsters stabilize the body against lateral forces, surrounding it securely and enhancing driving enjoyment.

Dynamic Driving Experience

Maintaining full control of the vehicle depends heavily on the driver’s seating position, particularly during spirited driving. Improved posture leads to quicker reactions and greater control. RECARO designs its seats to support the body optimally, enhancing concentration and safety. Development of road-going sports seats is informed by decades of experience and innovation drawn from motorsport.

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
