Uncomfortable Seats
So I have a 2919 premium non F type and I really like my seats except for the little crease marks that popped up after my drive home practically. I just got a loaner 2020 I’m pretty sure it’s the same package as mine but the seats seen allot softer than mine. It seems like I sink into them allot more. Both are new mine has 4500 miles and the loaner has 2500 miles.

We just bought an RX350--I've been driving it for less than a week and have severe lower back pain. I'm not heavy set, exercise regularly and have a strong back and core. Did not have back pain prior to driving my new Lexus. This is my first Lexus and the only car that has ever given me back pain. I know it's the car because that's the only thing that's different in my daily routine. I'm going to try the towel idea, but makes me wonder why I bought the lexus if I was going to use a "seat cushion"--may as well have bought the BMW X3 with the stiff seats (because that's the only reason I opted for the RX350 over the BMW--cushy seats!). My Mom has been driving a Lexus for over 20 years and has had ongoing, severe back pain--I'm now wondering if her Lexus is contributing to it!
I just got the car and now cannot wait until the lease is up
Hoping Lexus looks into the issue with the seats.

I have the F Sport version and my butt's bones start to hurt after sitting for around 2 hours. I know, probably different than everyone else's problem. I actually never had back pain in this car. It may be the car or maybe me, who knows. At home I never sit on a chair for 2 hours without getting up and walking around

My brother is a BMW guy, and trades up every few years. His last BMW was a 640 which he loved, but after about 6 months figured out his seat was causing his back & leg pain.
He had BMW to do everything the warranty would allow. He also tried numerous Amazon seat gadgets which didn't work. In this case BMW changed the seats that year and a 30min test drive just wasn't enough.
So he picked his back over the beloved BMW and traded it. Yes, he lost money, but solved his back issue. Also he told me the heated seats did help if his trip was less than 2hrs and took a break after the first hour.
Now, he's an Audi guy...

i did a 4 hour run down the river, 2 hours down, lunch, then back... drove it several more times over the weekend long distances as well...
it was a lux 450, so we knew what the seats would be like... i do 17 hour days a couple times a year, so seat comfort was very important to us.
