Can't get comfortable in driver seat!

When I test drove my '13, I drove a Premium, Lux and an F-Sport version. By far, the Lux had the most comfortable seats (it could be the padding, the leather quality, the additional adjustments, the headrests).
I actually considering doing something similar to @peasodos by replacing the driver/passenger seats with Lux seats but the price is too steep for my budget. And getting great used condition Lux seats in my color (Flaxen) is tough as it is!

Well I haven't been able to sit in them yet! Hopefully I can get my hands on a Lux driver seat and call it a day.

I have the luxury package and, as much as I love my car, I struggle with the seats. They are highly configurable, which seems nice, but I find it tough to get that just-right setting. I've found most other car seats, even much more basic ones, to be more comfortable with minimal adjustment. The exception is a 2018 Honda Accord -- most...uncomfortable...seat...ever and I couldn't go more than 45 minutes before getting wicked sore spots! I had a 2001 that was quite comfy and I could run a 15.5hr trip in 1 day.
As you can tell from others' feedback, depending on your body geometry you may find them to be the most comfortable seats ever.

I think these seats were designed for those with perfect posture & this is why it's so difficult to find a comfortable position as most people don't have very good posture. I've been actively working on my posture while seated/standing and ever since I've trained myself to sit/stand a little better, I've been able to find a comfortable position. Now that my posture has improved, I really enjoy the seats in the GS but your mileage may vary.

I have noticed after improving my posture, the seats are more comfortable. Nice install, I love the look of the lux package seats.
I also agree the Flaxen + bamboo is quite nice, then again I'm a huge fan of the flaxen color anyway.

I love the bamboo steering wheel. That only came on the GS450h with the Luxury package, correct?
I have the 18 way seats and they are highly adjustable and tied with the best seats ever. Tied with my 1993 SSEi……

I agree, I have the base seat but it still has 10 or so adjustments. I sit in others cars and usually don't have a problem. This seat is making me work for that comfortable spot!

I wanted the HUD so bad when I was doing my search but could never find one in my price range! I've thought about adding it but it seems like a lot of work and I'm not that technically savvy.
So you had the standard 10 way seat and you feel that the seats not only "obviously" have more adjustments but that they are actually softer as well?

How much did these seats cost you?
