can F sport seats be swapped out to standard seats?

Can the F sport front driver seat be swapped out replaced for a standard IS seat? The F sport seats are uncomfortable and I want to buy the standard IS front seat instead which is comfortable, is it possible do swap out the seat and will all the electronics work the same?
I have the 2012 IS350 F sport

I'm sure you could locate a local Lexus owner that would be willing to test this out with you and do the seat swap. Are you able to post in the F/S section yet because of your join date?

I am curious why you find the F seat uncomfortable. I have a non F seat and find it uncomfortable as it is too soft and not supportive. I replaced my MB ML320 driver seat with a Recaro as the stock seat offered inadequate lumbar support.
Perhaps we could trade driver seats?

Where were you when I had my IS350? I love the FSport seats... but yeah the standard ones could be considered more comfortable.

I'm potentially interested in the swap (I'm in FL) though I'm curious to know if I'll have a light on my dash as my current seats are ventilated and the F-Sport seats are not (AFAIK).
