Is there and aftermarket seat I can purchase that is more comfortable than the OEM one?

You have got to be kidding!
These seats (98-00 seats) are about the most comfortable car seats ever made and about 99-44/100% of drivers feel the same way.
Either your body and back are very strange and fall into the .66/100% or something is seriously wrong like the foam has broken down or even worse.
Have you sat in the passengers seat and do you feel the same way?
I would find someone with a 98-00 and sit in their car, perhaps you need a new foam insert under the leather?

The answer is no, I do not know of any seat that's a bolt in to the Volvo seat track and would work.
Remember the side airbag is inside this seat bolster

My '99 V70XC has the best seats in autodom. Better than my '02 S60. Better than all the other volvos I've owned. Better than the MBs and BMWs I've owned. I could use another 1/2 inch of seat travel but other than that, almost perfect. The seats, (and the ride) are what keeps me in this car.
