How about some fluffy seat covers? Mmaybe get a memory foam mattress pad and cut a piece the shape of the back of the seat and put under a fluffy seat cover. I think I am one of the few that finds the seats to be just fine, headrest seat and all. I have the cloth also.

That is one of the options I am going to pursue. I want to check with a custom seat place by where I work first. I am very interested to see what is going on inside the seat, back and I bet that they will know how to quickly pop the panel off of the back of the seat back so I can look inside.

Well we just purchased an 07 SEL (about 3 weeks ago) and we drove it this weekend on a trip from Baltimore to NYC. 5+ hrs and not a complaint on the seats or head rests. Can't seem to figure out what all the hub bub is about.

I am jealous. Can I ask how tall you are? My wife also finds both the seat and the head rest very comfortable and she is shorter than me at about 5'8'.

That sounds like the lumbar setting is set to firm. Try loosening it up & that pressure point should go away.

I have adjusted the lumbar support and that does help some. However, even with the lumbar fully off, I still feel pressure at the seam in the middle of the seat back. I also feel it in the other front seat which does not have the adjustable lumbar.

Thanks.

I recently purchased a used 2009 Ford Edge SEL with upholstered seats. I initially liked the seats because they did have protruding lumbar supports that many of the newer cars do. However, after riding in the car for a while I have found all of the seats to have a pressure point that runs across the seat back (left/right). It seems to be just above the seam in the upper middle portion of the seat back When I sit in the seat (front or back) it feels like there is a bar running across the seat. The result is that most of the pressure from my weight against the seat falls in that area ( a lot like a hide-a-bed with the bar running across it) and my upper back (below the shoulder blades) hurts. My father-in-law used to design seats for GMC and he suggested that it might be fabric tie downs in the seat. I pressed in the area with my fingers, and in the back seats it feels like a wire is running acrss the seat back. When I try that on the passenger side I can feel to hard objects just above the seam line and almost lined up with the head rest bars. I haven;t found anything seat by feeling around, but it feels the same when I sit in it. I am probably taller than average at 6'3" and that may be part of the problem. Has anyone else experienced this and do you have a fix? Or does anyone know how to take the panel off the seat back so that I can look an see what is going on inside the seat back? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
