2005 Corolla LE → XRS / Matrix seat swap — compatibility check + best comfort upgrade ideas?

Body:
Hey everyone,
I’ve got a 2005 Toyota Corolla LE (1.8L, North American build, cloth with side airbag) and I’m trying to swap in a more comfortable driver seat — ideally from an XRS, Matrix XRS (’03–’06) or Pontiac Vibe GT (’03–’06).

I’ve read they all share the same E130 platform, so the seats should be bolt-in compatible (no drilling), but I’d love to double-check from people who’ve actually done it:

• Has anyone here swapped Matrix/Vibe/XRS seats into a Corolla LE successfully?
• Any issues with airbag connectors, seat height, or rails?
• Are Matrix XRS / Vibe GT seats noticeably more comfortable or just sportier?

Also open to suggestions for comfortable aftermarket bolt-in options (Corbeau, Cipher, etc.) that won’t mess with airbags or sitting position too high.

Appreciate any advice or swap pics — trying to keep it OEM-looking but finally want a seat that doesn’t kill my back on long drives. 🙏
