F-sport seats, comfortable?

I totally agree ! The F Sport seats are way too squeezy and tight on the thighs unless you are 19 yo ! Go for the luxury and be comfortable ... Also they are way easier to get in and out of without smashing the edge off the seat every time you get in and out

So are most fsport owners saying the bolster won't show the deep creases from the abuse it will take.? Sounds like a black interior would be a safer bet than the now common rojo red? I like the luxury but prefer the fsport grill

Just hard to believe that anything that get crushed every time you get in and out of the car will not show premature wear. I guess time will tell but this is a high wear area of any vehicle, much less one with this protruding bolster.

They show loads of wear on the bottom when getting out. as the foam tends to get squished and displaced. With the F-Sport seats, the foam doesn't get displaced as its injected into the leather and therefore seems to go back to its original position better.
It might flatten over time but not experienced that in the IS yet.

I ordered the F sport because of the supportive seats. The Executive package seats are too flat and un-supportive to my liking. I agree that the F sport one are a bit tight at the front and high to get in and out of the car. Hoping the leather and foam will hold up for the life of the car.

I love the F-Sport seats, including the side bolsters. I find that they're just right for me.
On the other hand, this is probably the first high end "sports package" car I've owned that didn't have *adjustable* side bolsters. Normally, you can tighten or loosen them as you wish. Also, they are quite raised, which is something I personally like as it gives me the sense of being nestled in, but many other cars have slightly gentler side bolsters.
As to wear, I have owned many, many cars with leather bolsters (almost every car I've owned since the end of the 80s). Almost none of them have ever had a problem, with the exception being a car that had tan seats. Basically, the tan bolsters ate up the color from my leather jacket, and they looked dirty after a few years. All of my black seats (which is almost every car I've owned) has never had a problem with wear. The Lexus RX F-Sport uses a leather that seems quite durable, too.

Quick question, are the f sport seats the same in the 350 and 450h? What I was surprised about in the 350 F Sport was the exposed stitching across the cushion. Maybe just have a bony frame but definitely felt the raised lines but I'd be sad missing out on the LFA gauges and Rioja red interior. Thanks!
