Default '08 accord coupe ex-l drivers seat

I have had the car for a few months now and the leather seat seems to get more and more uncomfortable every drive. I was searching around and apparently it's a pretty common complaint. Is there anything I can do to make it a little more comfortable? I don't get back pain or anything like some people do.. but it's just not comfortable at all especially on a long trip. Thanks!

24 years old and you can not figure out how to make your seat more comfortable?

you'll have to forgive me, it's just a nutty question.

how do you figure? It isn't the lumbar support it's the seat itself.

No, the headrest doesn't bother me. It's like there isn't enough padding in the seat or something.

That's call cost cutting. You'll find something similar in the likes of Sonata and (new) Passat. The days of sofa seats like a Crown Vic are over and use too many cows.

Or we can just call it "sporty comfort" seats.

Ah that sucks lol. The most comfortable leather seats i've been in was a volvo s60. The seats in my accord aren't terrible.. they're just worse than other cars i've been in. :/. Oh well.

All the Honda seats are uncomfortable, especially on longer rides. You could try different seats but, you'll probably have to have brackets made and you''ll have to figure out how to attach the belt buckles too.
