I have never found them uncomfortable. Is it worn out? Unless you just replace it with another vw seat you may have to deal with the track issue. Maybe go drive a newer one and see if it feels the same to you. If not either get a new one or have yours rebuilt at a auto upholstery place.

This. I never really found my '99 seats uncomfortable. As far as comfy seats, any other mk4 set of seats should fit fine, but you would want something from a 2-door Golf or GTI so you have the ability to flip the seats down. One option is to find a set of Recaros from a 20th/337/GLI. I have them in my 20th and I love them. They came stock in those cars and they have adjustable lumbar support. Pretty comfy, IMO. But they usually aren't found for cheap.
