Question LX470 front seats not comfortable?

We bought a 2004 LX recently.
We felt the two front seats are not very comfortable. We felt the metal string across the seat in the 'Lumbar Support' area is hurting our low back. Regardless how we adjust the lumbar support, the string appears to be too tight and hurts our low back.
Does anyone have same feeling? Is there an easy fix or is it covered by warranty to have it fixed/adjusted?

Thanks,

I'm no seat expert, but, I would say you probably have a defect with your seat. I own a 2004 LX and I've NEVER say in more comfortable seats, ANYWHERE! In fact, I think the seats in the LX rival the comfort of the leather sofa in my media room! For the record, I'm a large man at 6'4" and 275lbs, and I couldn't ask for more comfort and support in a car seat! I would bring your LX into the dealership and get the issue resolved.

IMO: The LX470 front drivers seat could use more lumbar support.

(That is, more pronounced convex support.)

I believe the LX seats were designed for the "target market", meaning "more affluent", meaning "shaped like a pear" human body form. I'm not (any of the above), so I find the lumbar support somewhat lacking.

But if you feel some kind of metal string against your back - you've got a faulty seat.
