Getting comfortable in the S560 front seats

I find they are mostly comfortable but I find my legs get a little sore when sitting for long. Trying to adjust the thigh support. I do feel like my calves are a bit sore so maybe it's that. The car is pretty new. Maybe the leather needs to soften up a bit? Or maybe I need to move closer to the steering wheel. I do believe the massage is only for the back, not the seat correct? My Buick would do a quick butt massage when you changed lanes without signaling.

I would move the extending thigh cushion/seat bottom all the way out, thats how I prefer it. I love the seats in mine. Seat massage is only for the seat back, correct.

Also make sure you are making the adjustments in the COMAND menu, the adjustable bolsters and the articulating backrest, lumbar etc.

Something strange. I was in the car yesterday trying to use the nav and it kept going to the seat and/or massage settings. Maybe I touched the massage button?

The NAVI button is right next to the seat button that takes you to the seat menu, you were probably hitting that by mistake

I haven’t found the seats comfortable on long drives either. I’m thinner than most people, and I tend to sink down into the seats. I’ve remedied this by replacing the bottom inch of foam in the back half of the seat with a higher density”closed cell” foam.
