Hello all

Just purchased a 2013 i30 elite. Love the car, but i'm finding the seat base bolsters press into my butt a little too much (butt could probably be a little small, but lets not go there).

Anyone else find this? Do they squish down after a while?

Cheers

I think you'll find both you and the car will settle in to one another over a period of time.
Have you tried fiddling with the seat height and back angle?

[Wideawake]

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, seat angle and height are set well. And have a heap of leg room in this car too.

Just seems to be a little narrow inbetween the bolsters lol.

If it's anything like my occasional cycling, I'm screaming for a gel seat for the first couple of days but then don't notice any longer after that. Give it a little time and you'll probably forget.

The Gonz is correct .I put a post on here a while ago as my daughter was having a problem getting comfortable in her drivers seat. After some advice she ended up getting a memory foam cushion. This was discarded after a while.  She has got used to the seat and now has forgotten about earlier problems.  She now feels very comfortable.

If all else fails, perhaps some lambswool seat covers would help.

[Surferdude]

Wouldn't they make the available space even more restrictive?

[Phil №❶]

The softness of the wool is nice. Used to have them years ago in a Laser.

[Surferdude]

Yeah. My daughter had them in her previous  car.
But I think our poster has a problem getting down between the bolsters low down on the side of the seat back. If he adds the thickness of wool seat covers I think that will make things worse.

A little unusual, as the wide ranging shapes of our members usually report how good the seating is, including me.

[Surferdude]

^^^^^^
Me too.

Not a good Idea Phil,when we got Cyril,went out and got a very good quality set of LW seat covers,although very nice to sit on,they actually raise you quite high in the car,Bruce on the other hand,I bought a cheap set of supercheap seat covers and we still fit snuggly and comfy in his seats

Fairy nuff.

Hello & 
Nothing that a few "Chocolately Claires" won't fix. 
As the others have said, I'd wait a while and see if you get used to it.

[Dazzler]

  Interesting 1st post... Not often the size of someone's posterior gets discussed so early 

[Doggie 1]

That's true.
It's hands down winner for crack up of the day.

Just thought I would post an update. Please also note that these are the seats in the GD not the FD.

So I took the car to a auto upholster, They removed a 4" long by 2.5" metal rod from within each side bolster! They were located right where I was getting sore.

They also lowered the foam on the side to make the seat flatter.

So much more comfortable now. Happy days.
