Uncomfortable LX Seats

I just got an 05 LX three weeks ago. The test drive went great, I bought it, got a great deal, drove home. Now I'm finding out that I can't find a comfortable position in the bucket seat. Anybody else have this problem? It think its just too damned hard or I just have a skinny butt.

Does Honda have a better grade bucket that will fit in this car?

hmm, I'm wondering why you aren't comfortable...

Unfortunately, no, if you want new seats you'll have to go to the aftermarket scene.

I feel the same way! No matter how I sit in the passengers seat, I can't get comfortable. My drivers seat, however, feels really nice.

I have a 2004 ex sedan. I would like more thigh support and lumbar. i am thinking about 1st getting a $50 memory foam lumbar support cushion. Would the 2004 Accord bucket with lumbar fit?

i have a 04 ex coupe and the seats sux. Even when they do break in they suck donkey Nu*s. I rode in the stock seats for 25k on my car. I always left my car with lower back pain. My butt stopped hurting when i spent $20 to buy myself a leather seat cushion. The cushion just gave me a glipse of how much more comfortable leather is to cloth. The other thing i hated about the cloth seats, is the fact your body would slide around in the seat when you made hard turns. That got really annoying.

My suggestion is upgrade to rsx leather seats. This will be one of the best and most noticable mods you'll ever do for your car. The seat hugs your kiddnies, perfect lumbar support and good thigh support. I dont slide around anymore on those hard turns, the seat just hugs me on every turn. Then again i think it also depends on your height too. I'm 5'8'' and there perfect for me, same with my friends whose 5'10''. My sister hates them and she's 5'4'' and she wants the stock seats back.

If you drive on trips thats longer then 30min, they i would suggest the rsx seats. There good for when your stuck in traffic for an hr, like me. The rsx seats aren't too hard to install either, if you have a dremel its takes no time at all. If you dont have a dramel, you can only get 3 out of the 4 botls to fit, but 3 out of 4 is good enough for me.

I am comfy too. Who cares though this are is not about comfort. Sometime less comfortable is better because it prevents you 'relaxing' too much which is a bad thing while driving.

My evoVII GT-A bucket seats are sooo comfortable for stock, but eventually everybody goes aftermarket.
