Default Uncomfortable seat?

Hey guys I have been shopping for a gs for a little while now, and two of the cars I have driven had uncomfortable drivers seat cushions. The other two seemed fine but I wasn't able to sit in them for long. Kind seemed like it wasn't cushiony and I was sitting on a rod.

The only reason I'm asking this is because I just drove three hours to look at an 07 and about 2 minutes into the test drive the seat made up my mind and I wasted an entire day lol. So I test drove an ls460 and that thing was sick. I had made up my mind on the gs since its economical and has proven itself but now I'm kinda getting skeptical abut the seats

Ok great, I actually really want the gs since the ls is kinda "too much" lexus for me lol. Not the price it's just not my style even though I like it. If that makes sense.

I'm not a huge guy either, I'm 205 but fairly muscular so it's not that I'm some huge fat dude but I am hesitant on the car because of this. Even in a car that still has more "cushion" to it they wear out or would have to be replaced is crap I think. My 04 4runner and 98 Cherokee don't have this issue

My wife is disappointed about this lol. Please tell me this is a freak accident I found two cars like that because my wife is really upset lol. She really likes the gs and normally hates cars but was surprised when I brought one home for a test drive.

Eh, I have my gs for 3 years. My right butt cheek goes numb, never has that happen in any other car I have ever owned. I guess the seat is more stiffer to get that sporty feel.

I am 6'2" and I find that I can only go 1 hour before I have to stop and stretch. I think maybe the seat cushion isn't long enough to give good thigh support.? I have tried all the settings with no great results.
