I have this condition called proctalgia fugax which is often triggered by sitting on uncomfortable surfaces for a long time.
And..i have NO issues with the seats, I have an '09 if it matters. I am 6'0" 170 lbs. I'm not really in shape. I'm not fat I'm just "normal". Not a beefy guy, not a fat guy. My *** is probably a tad bit chubby.

OK just to chime in - 6' 2" 220 lbs, 44L suit, 36" pants. Yeah I'm Asian - wanna fight about it (Hogan's Heroes...chill). I commute almost 2 hours a day 5 days a week and have near zero seat discomfort. I do have the JP neckpads. Seat most of the way back, steering wheel telescoped out all the way, bottom cushion angled all the way up in the front. I like the lumbar where it is.

I've driven my 350 for 25.6 hours straight from Sacramento to Dallas (1704 miles), spent the night and drove 11.5 hours to Atlanta (813 miles) the next day (kids, don't try this at home!) without pain, but it does take some work to find the happy spot, and on long trips I engage cruise and completely relax my legs unless I'm in traffic. And yes, I drove it alone with a car chock full of stuff the movers wouldn't take.
Anyways ive leaned the seat back some more and scooted forward in the seat a little.. it helps a little.. i think the problem is at the rearmost portion of the bottom cushion. unfortunately that is just an awkward driving position for me. oh well

what a road trip... The is350 is one of the most comfortable car in its class. The 335 is so harsh and the leather is so rough it is very uncomfortable for long road trips.
However, I still haven't found the sweet spot on my is350 either. I don't know how to use the lumbar support, etc.

Man, I hope you guys know our body relax/constrict during the day. Early in the morning, your body more relax/taller. Afternoon, it get more tense/stress. So moving the seat around are normal for some folks.
Im 5'6 170 lbs, and the seat are fine. Used to be 187 lbs, and it was still fine.
Side note, I just came back from a road trip...West coast all the way to Portland/Mt. Glacier Montana/Yellowstone/Mt. Rushmore/Chicago/Canada/Niagara Falls...then to D.C. and came back in 9 days. 7400 miles on a rental Tahoe.

No matter what the car, there will be people that don't like the seats. Go to any forum and you'll find this thread. That said, I think the Is seats stink for anything but a 30 minute commute. After an hour both Me and the Wife are squirming around, trying to get comfortable. 2 hours and my back hurts like hell. I drove my C6 for 8 hours straight without complaint. Go to corvetteforum.com, people complain constantly about the crappy seats on the Vette. Personally, I wish I had my vette back.

I love my 350s seats, very comfortable. The only issue I have is that the sides don't hug me when I'm turning fast. I tend to slide around the seat. Think I might have to buy some IS-F front seats when I can find a pair. Now those things are comfortable and hold you in your place!
