You need to have someone take a look at your lower discs (L4-S1)--- it's not your weight.

Ditto that. On the same note, my sciatic nerve acts up on drives longer than 2 hours in this car.Originally Posted by jim07

Mthis-How does someone that tall and weigh that much find our seats comfortable???

I don't think I'd let someone who is 350 sit in those seats. That's like a year worth of wear on them.

I don't see how the seat bolsters would affect the low back.
Get an MRI and check the discs. You'll likely find the culprit there. And sorry to hear about your back issues.

To be honest, the support that the side bolsters give have actually improved my lower back on long trips. I used to get massive lower back pain around 3 hours into it. Now, nothing. Best seats I've ever had.

I am 6'6'' 275lbs and I like the seats. I must say even at full deflate they are right at the limit of comfortable/too tight.
My only concern is that no matter what I do to get out of the car I am still putting wear on the bottom left bolster. I have been utterly OCD recenlty putting Leatherique on it about every other time I drive it lol.

I've moved my front seat back about 4 inches. It's like a whole new world.

I am in the same boat too. I feel like the I can see the lower part of the leather wearing out faster. I have resorted to this weird drop my *** in then twist around entry and exit to the car......sucks but I want to keep it looking new.

If your sciatic nerve is hurting you, you should consider stretching and yoga. From my personal experience, most pains in our bodies stem from tightening of the muscles in our body. Stretching will do wonders.

I have trouble wearing anything thicker than a CC holder in my back pockets. Just a normal thickness wallet creates a problem for me when I sit on a properly cushioned chair. I have used a card holder for the past 5-6 years and no problem. I used to have daily issues on the wallet Cheek!!!
I think the deep bolstered and the size of my *** work in the same way as a thick wallet did. As soon as I sit in the car it starts and a few minutes after getting out it is better.
I do agree with the excercise comment, butt, thank you all for caring so much about my ***. When I post a valid C63 point I don't get this many responses

Sadly the seats are why I went with the E550 over the C63 as a DD. A little too tight for daily comfort

Actually that is the correct way to get in a car without hurting your back. +1 for "drop a**" technique
BTW no one who's 350 pounds is getting near my seat. The only way they could be comfortable is if they broke the side bolster IMO. I would have to see it to believe it.
