Seat discomfort with asymmetric bolsters on the base of the seat
The longer I drive my LS the more I realize that my seat is becoming a bit of an issue. I dont know if this is normal but the bolster on the base of the seat on the right side is significantly higher and more rounded. This creates a lot of discomfort when driving long distances. I am going to bring this issue to the attention of my service advisor. I hope they can help me. I would hate to have to deal with this discomfort. The TSB on the seat cushion is for the harder rear central piece. Do any of you guys notice that the base of the drivers seat has a higher bolster on the right side than the left side.

The seat bottom TSB (L-SB-0071-09) includes the entire seat bottom cushion along with the side bolsters. The leather cover is also replaced. I had it done and the seat is now slightly more comfortable. Be forewarned, the leather may not match with the rest of the seat. Mine is noticeably rougher, especially on one of the bolster, and the leather is wrinkled. I haven't decided yet to have the dealer replace it again.

Thanks for the tip. Do you remember if the right bolster on the base of the seat is higher than the left. I dont think Lexus would have designed it this way. I wonder if they can just replace the entire seat. This one issue that I have to get resolved

Never noticed the right bolster being higher, my problem has always been with the center seat bottom. Before I could feel a ridge or plate around my thigh. I figured out that it has to do with the seat bottom extender. I have adjusted to a sweet spot now.
