Painful Seat - Seat Hurts

After reading this thread, I'm wondering if enough customers complained to Mazda, because the 2022 models have redesigned seats for every trim that they claim to be more supportive.

I still have not solved this problem but noticed that in my case setting the seat to a higher position helps a little bit on longer commutes. I am about the same height and weight as you.
It's indeed a shame that Mazda made such a great car but did not invest enough time/money/research into the seats.

I cannot adjust the seat to higher position. That`s the max does not go higher 
I always set it and like it that way. The problem I have noticed is the seat seems to me like saggy at the back, that`s why feel the pain in my bones I just guess 10 miles drive in the morning is enough to hurts my bones/ butt for the rest of the day The dealer said that everything is normal. Perhaps worn cushion, but he is not sure if the replacement would help $$$

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.

Hey all, I've had a good local auto upholstery shop modify seat cushions in some of our car in the past and the seats went from uncomfortable to great. The cost was abut $500, but much cheaper than buying a new car. Just tell the shop where it hurts and they should be able to fix the seats for you. And...you get to enjoy the seat heaters in the winter too.
Good luck all.

Hard seats in cx 5 2021.5 model. Nappa leather brown seats
Unfortunately, i have heated and cooled perforated seats. Hence cannot just upholstery them. They will be improving seats to softer seats in 2022 for cx 5. But to late for my butt.

1 month into a new MY21 Dec build CX5 top range Akera with the Nappa Leather seats.
It's painful literally to drive and after due to the seat width and the side bolsters position & hardness. It's crushed my Sciatic Nerve in my right leg. Had to go see my physio for treatment today. I'm 45 and had Zero Sciatic problems in my life.
It really annoys me about the seats, because the rest of the car is the absolute best! But 1 month in I will now need to find an Upholsterer to adjust, or I will have to consider selling. Not something I want to do after waiting 5 months to drive after ordering.
