Just say no!!!!!

I've done 500-700 mile days in my car without issue (~6' #200-210 depending on time of year). I don't feel any pinching or similar sensation. Thigh bolsters are slightly inflated. As with any long trip, I think it's important to stop periodically. I can drive for about 90-120 minutes (100-140 miles of interstate) before I need to take 5-10 min break to walk around, stretch, eat something (no eating permitted in the car).

The journey seats may be a fix for your problem. In the last year, I've developed massive back problems, and the Journey seats in my car are far more comfortable than anything in my house - sitting in the car is pain free.

man, for realla??? doing this didn't tear the leather...seriously man, i mean i am considering the cushion option too, but at 6'2 and 205lbs, anything on that seat will make me feel like i'm in suv territory. I am thinking about removing/adjusting the front nut that allows a bit more lowering of the seat, there are instructions somewhere in the diy i think, though from reading if not done correctly, it can be screwed up, so the cushion options sounds good...just haven't gotten around to it...but i like your idea..direct..sort of..

Ive owned my 2012 G37xS for about 2 weeks now and I came here looking for suggestions on the seats. My back is killing me after only driving this for a short distances. The seats in my previous car, 1992 G20 (dont laugh) were very snug and I actually found comfort sitting in them for long trips. I'm going to try the cushion thing and if that doesnt work, I'll start shopping for a Journey seat at the junk yards.

I've had several back surgeries and I'm very tall so I had problems w my sport seats too. I took it out and cut the metal brace out of the sides of the bottom cushion. (There is a thread on how to for that somewhere). That helped alot but the upright lateral bolsters were still too tight so I bought a journey seat off of ebay and have been happy ever since.

I have a Journey. Last week I drove it from Missouri to Florida (Vero Beach) and back. Did a lot of other driving in addition to the getting-there (i.e. spent an afternoon at Kennedy Space Center, a 2-hour round trip from where I was staying). Spent over 50 hours in the car. (I'm 44 y/o, if that matters.) I was surprised that I had almost no discomfort... other than needing to stretch every so often—which would be the case in ANY car driving those distances—the seats were perfectly comfortable.
On the way back, I tanked up in northern Georgia, drove clear through Tennessee and lower Kentucky and finally pulled over again (down to 1/4 tank) in central Illinois. I'd driven for over six hours straight. It felt good to stretch, but I had no noticeable discomfort from the seat.
If there's a difference between the Journey seats and the other models' seats, I wasn't aware of it, but I'm very satisfied with the seats in my Journey. Besides, they look awesome.
