My wife has a Mini Cooper Countryman and her seats are fine for me, because they let us pick which seats we wanted.  If only US car-makers would be so flexible.

Upon further thought I realized the seat bottoms in your Titanium are a different shape from the seat bottoms in my SEL. At the time of purchase I took a test ride in the Titanium and thought the bottom seat bolsters were more intrusive. It was one reason I went with the SEL. I still think the seat heater will soften up the foam over time. However the seat bottom shape may still prove unacceptable. I do not know if it is possible, but if the seat shape is really unacceptable maybe you can put SEL seat bottoms in the Titanium (if not the whole seat). May be the seat heating and cooling mechanism can be repositioned in the new bottom. The foam can be recovered in perforated leather by Katskins. This is not an ideal solution. But if you like the car and want to keep it maybe this proposal can help you.

Comfortable seats are hugely important to owner satisfaction. I have often thought different seat choices beyond the coverings should be a customer selectable option within the same trim line. We are all different shapes. Unfortunately none of the car manufacturers think so.

Just got a 2019 Ford Edge SEL and having the same discomfort with the front seat bolsters being too steep and causing leg discomfort.

I'm 6' 3" and 230 lb so I've got a wide frame.  

I didn't notice the discomfort at the dealer when they had the seat heater on.

I'm thinking I need to find a narrow seat cushion to fit between the bolsters.

Any suggestions welcome.
