Trouble adjusting seat

Is anyone else having an issue getting a comfortable seat adjustment? I don't think there is anything wrong with my seat - I just find myself constantly adjusting it and never finding a position that's comfortable. It seems to be giving me a back ache no matter what I do. In particular, the lumbar adjustment just doesn't seem to go to any place that I like. I'm not normally picky - on other cars I've spent a couple minutes adjusting the seat and then left it in place for years.

What are your own experiences with the driver seat?

Suggestions?
 
Yes, it’s taken me two months to get comfortable. Two things that have helped:

1. Creating a new profile to save my seat changes. For some reason saving changes to an already created profile wasn’t sticking. I’d find myself constantly having to readjust and think I was going insane.
2. Actually understanding how four way lumbar support works:

- The top arrow inflates the upper half of the lumber support
- The bottom arrow inflates the lower half
- Pressing forward inflates both top and bottom together
- Pressing back deflates both top and bottom

Understanding this has been a big help (I needed an increase on the upper lumbar support, without the bottom, to get rid of back pain on long trips). Once you can get that natural curve of your spine supported, you’ll feel great.

Hope some of this helps!
