RX Seat Comfort
Have F Sport. Seats are very comfortable. Have a 15 GX460. When they came out many online were complaining about seat comfort. I drive mine to Florida and back from Delaware on the GX and they are very comfortable. I guess everyones "butt" requires a different fit. Personally, I am 6' tall and weigh 200 pounds.

uncomfortable seats rx 350 f sport
Hi I have had my rx 350 f sport for 5 months know and the seats are not comfortable. I tried going to the dealer and see if this was an issue. They told me that they didn't hear of anyone complaining. I found the seats to be hard and causing my legs to go numb. The dealer added more padding on the seat, He also said i could use a pillow on the seat. I found it alittle better but i would think that if you spend that kind of money you wouldn't need to and a pillow. I love my rx 350 but the seat is driving me nuts.

It is what it is and at this point there is little more that Lexus can do for you. I am surprised that your dealer added more padding, kudos for them to try to make you happy.

I am still not a fan of the F-sport seats but I liked the design of the vehicle versus the non F-sport, so I am making due. We have a 2014 RAV4 in the garage, and the seats are a bit more comfortable than the RXF.

I've got a '16 F-Sport and I will tell you from my experience, the F-Sport seats are HUGELY better than the standard seats. I had my F-Sport for about 2 months and we had a seal come loose on the pano sunroof. The dealer drove to us and left us with a non-F-Sport loaner. The seats comparatively were hideously uncomfortable, flat and hard feeling. I felt like I was sitting on a board. The F-Sport seats cradle you and are very comfy for long drives. I never feel any pressure points like in my other cars. Definitely sit in an F-Sport seat.

for sure i would have 1, for the suspension, not sure about the aluminum vs premium.
the back of the seat is ok, just the lower inner pieces are terrible for my wife and I. had to rule it out in just a few minutes driving one.

I loved the interior trim, not sure I love the dash nor the wheels but the seats were an absolute deal breaker.

That's true, adding the bolsters will make the seats uncomfortable for a lot of large or overweight people. Personally I LOVE the F Sport seats, it feels like I'm being hugged by my car. I would slide around on my old RX350 sofa seat, even though it was very plush. I guess the F Sport is for people who really do want a sporty feeling (stiffer seats and suspension).

I have never heard anything but compliments from my passengers about how cool or comfortable the seats are.

Lower cushion, the outer wings are fine, the material that is inside of that and vertical killed it for me and my wife. This was after just a few minutes.
I do longer trips as well, did 17 hours solo last week, 10 hours often enough. The lower cushion killed it for me,
