My local upholsterer did a great job on my e46 BMW's seats. Not that the seats were necessarily an uncomfortable design, but they were breaking down a bit with 15 years' age and use. Much better now after a rebuild last year.

The side bolsters are not removable or adjustable, otherwise that would be great.

I own CX-5 GT 2017. I had no problem with the seat for 4 years. NOW it`s really terrible, PAINFUL, my bones hurts me, my butt 
that`s not fun. I tried different seat adjustment... nothing helped, nothing improved that`s just very painful. I'm 5'11" and 160 lbs. Just driving 10 miles in the morning and feel the pain all day. Cannot stand it and does not know what to do. I let the dealer check the seat. Just got the reply: he did not find any mechanical issue, recommends to replace the seat cushion - but it may, may NOT help ($530)... I do not know what to do now... they send my offer for new cx-5. Not sure if it`s a good idea, you know

I recently bought a 2020 CX5 GTR, after having leased the 2017 GT. The seats are definitely different. I had no issues with the 2017, but the 2020 are just awful. My boyfriend and I both are in pain after only an hour-long drive. I'm at a loss as to what to do since the dealer said there's nothing they can do. If I purchase a cushion, it negates the seat warming and cooling features. Mazda must have changed suppliers or sacrificed some cushioning. I feel duped after spending $35K on a car I can't take on long trips. Anyone here find a solution?

My wife is driving a 2019 CX-5 GT and has found that despite the many seat adjustments available with the power seats, that the seat cushion causes pain in her tail bone. She has ended up using a memory foam cushion in the seat which defeats the heating and ventilation options. The dealer response is that all of the seats are the same which she confirmed with a tush test. Has anyone figured out a soution other than custom upholster or buying a different car?
Thanks.
Thanks.
