I just saw an ad for a captains seat from an astro. It has arm rests which I guess is what makes it a captains seat.
Do armrests make driving more comfortable? easier?
Also do any stock rear bench seats fold out flat - bed style?

Re: driving from the captains seat
What makes it a Captain's Chair is the swivel base, not the armrests.
Driving with armrests can be comfortable IF they support the entire forearm. The ones on the AstroSafari family only support 1/2 the forearm. On my Freightshaker, they came all the way to my wrists.
Stock rear bench seats do not fold flat to form a bed. For that, you'd need a conversion bed.
