Make sure you are correctly using the power seat settings. I drove literally across Country and two trips between Fl and Ct, and a trip down to Key West so I have alot of seat time. For me the seats are comfortable, I don't feel at least the way I have it set the seat slants in a bad way.
Is anybody else having seat comfort issues?

Details of seat construction and materials seems like something not too many dealers' employees are going to have command of. And maybe a bit soon for upholstery shops to learn about their design. Thoughts are to try and get Customer Care's attention and willingness to find out. But then that sounds like too deep in the weeds for them even.
Conclusion: maybe hit up a dealer and ask to just sit in one or more models and trims unlike yours for comparison. And I learned all I know about aftermarket seat pads from my wife's mention many years ago that she felt her seat a bit too firm especially when doing the 2 1/2-hr. weekend commutes to our place at 'the lake'. This was long enough ago that there wasn't yet 10,000 overseas suppliers with every imaginable design, shape and quality under the sun (or absence thereof). The first one I got her was actually 'too soft', but it was so cheap I just ditched it. The next was a matrix open web gel with suede covering = perfect for her. Here's the new one I got for her, and neither too much or too little - at least for the around town puttering we're doing now. But on the very first road trip I'll be bringing the old one along in case this slick 'slim design' turns out too firm for her after a few hours:

Parting Thought: My wife's seat position has my knees hitting the dash, but I've found I need no other adjustment than just moving the seat rearward - nothing else. The most critical adjustment I've either read or learned (or both) is to move back just to where your thighs bear lightly on the front of the seat with feet on the pedals. Too much = sore knees, too little with legs in the air = crinked back. And every hour change the angle between seat and back to move the circulation around.

I have been trying for months. At this point i just find the car to be a total waste of time. Cheap/poor electrics. Slow. Quite small. Now it is physically making me sick because of not finding the ‘sweet’ spot. Poor design imo. Glad you are happy with your. Mine will hopefully burn or get stolen
