Default 2019 CX3 with uncomfortable armrests

Hello,

I spend a lot of time in my car commuting to and from work and my Mazda CX3 has some of the most uncomfortable armrests of any car I've ever owned.
Does anyone know of a comfortable aftermarket armrest pad I can buy that will fit well and make my armrests more comfortable?

Thanks,
SS

Can you explain a little more what you feel is uncomfortable?
I understand a little in part but it is subjective to each person. When I read what you respond with, I will tell you what I did to my arm rests.

Sure, specifically, the padding on the drivers side left armrest and center console armrest is so thin that it hurts my elbows while I am driving. I spend over 2 hrs a day behind the wheel and they are both really uncomfortable.

LOL Ok that was exactly my experience as well. There really is no pad offered for that area that will work at least that I found and tried a couple. So what i finally did had mine recovered and closed cell high density foam added.

My friend owns an upholstery shop... and he does not work on most service needs of his Hydro (ski boat) ... so friends help friends in need.. HA! .If I had to guess, it would be 1 hour labor because the door panel needs to be removed. So guessing 150?
In my case if you noticed the panel above the arm rest is not Mazda. My model it was saddle tan colored hated it? lol
