Maybe my skinny *** is a detriment. I have a base coupe, cloth seats. Read a post that the leather seats are more comfortable. I can pursue used leather seats from ebay and upgrade to power adjust and maybe some extra comfort or look to find a cushion for the seat. I have tried a lower back support with questionable results. I also tried a seat fusion but it slides around and I don't like the feel of it. I also read about a gel seat for a motorcycle that CF owner suggested. Any advice? My *** and small of my back is killing me. Please don't suggest to eat more, don't think that will solve the problem, (but it might) Thanks to all!
I"m 5'10" and around 200 - I have an issue with the small of my back and the XF seats would DESTROY My back, but I found a cure - a small pillow. I place it so that it supports the small of my back - over 700 miles each was to CAA6 AND 3200 miles in 11 days in 2014 - and no issues!
Also, the Limited (my first two XFs) and Base (my current XF) seats pretty much performed the same for me. The base seats ARE more comfortable, but the small-of-back problem is the same in both.
