2009 TSX driver's side seat hurts!

I bought a 2009 TSX as a commuter car. My commute is 60 miles (one way) and takes 60 to 90 minutes each way. The TSX is quiet, smooth, powerful, and gets great mileage. However, the driver's seat has very stiff bolsters on the seat that start to hurt my rear end after about 15-20 minutes, causing me to have to shift around during the drive. The side bolsters are very hard compared to the rest of the seat, and the side pressure is what causes the problem. I am 6 feet, 180 and have never experienced this problem before--can hardly imagine how others with a larger "seating area" must feel... Has anyone else experienced this?

Feels good to me. I'm also 6', however I have a few more pounds on me. My previous car was a GTI, so these bolsters and seats actually feel soft to me.

Im the same exact hight and weight as you. I have no problem with the seats, in fact, I think they are one of the more comfortable "sport" seats Ive sat in.
I suggest messing around with the 8-way power adjuster. I have the front end of my seat a little higher than the rear.

Hope this helps.

Sorry to hear this and right after I first got my car I would get a strange pain in my right leg after sitting in my seat for a few minutes. I attributed this to getting used to new, better seats but it never went away. So one I really played around w/ the seating adjustments and found something better and voila, the pain is now gone, so I would try the same and see if it helps you also.

With so many adjustments it can become more of a pain than a seat without all that stuff.

Just about everyone who has ridden or travelled in my car compliments the seating. Even those that aren't interested in that kind of stuff.

Maybe try throwing out your whole current seating position and start over. I notice when the front of the seat bottom is too high it cuts off the circulation to my legs and makes me fidget like you're posting about.
