We have an M32 ("Promise" #48). We use small vinyl covered beanbag chairs (blue - $17 at Target) in the cockpit. They are really comfortable - conform to whatever shape you want - and you can even use one on top of the steering box. They are great down below too. However, they do take up a little space.
There is some company making them for sailboats - covered with sunbrella I think - but way more expensive.
On another note - I am a little worried about the lack of life lines above the taffrail on the M32, but I see some folks have installed them above the taffrail. I plan to install jacklines on both sides of the deck to tether my automatically inflatable vest to. (I like the looks of the taffrail by itself)

For comfort and back support while siting at the wheel I installed a captains chair from a bar stool, cut the legs off and secured it to a swivel from a ships store and onto the steering box. You can still open the box to get at the switches.

Good Luck
