Default Are the 04 seats different?

Since my seats were stolen I have gotten new factory replacement seats. They are the 04 seats and they feel different. I thought I read that they were retooled a little bit. They feel more firm (probably because they are 2.5 years newer than my old ones) and they also feel more bolstered and seem to hug me more? Is it true that they are different?

I read a review of the 04 in Motor-trend last month and one of the "improvements" they listed was "more shoulder room" I personnally have enough shoulder room in mine, but i guess this is relative to newly designed seats

I've always just found that newer seats feel a lot firmer. I sat in a new '03 and even the seats in that felt different than my old '01... so I'm sure the seats in my '04 will feel firmer too (until they break in).
