Maybe you are sitting too far forward so your legs are spread out? Try pushing your seat a bit further back, or lowering the seat with that handle on the side.

 

comfee to my butt!!

 

i am slightly taller (5 10) and 155 and i have had no problems..

 

I am 5' 8" and rather heavy and it's comfortable to my big behind.

 

I am 5'8" and 160. I spend all day in my soul and I have no complaints... Sure, its not an S class, but its not what I would call uncomfortable.

 

This the most comfy seat that I've had. My Audi before this car was ten times more uncomfortable. Especially on long trips.

 

not that my comment will really help, but I found the Soul seat to be a lot more comfy than the Scion xb I looked at and better than my Mazda MPV and better than my previous Geo Prizm. so.. who knows, maybe something unique to you.

 

I'm 5'10" 202#. The high firm seat really help my lower back esp. on long trips.

 

Not that comfortable

I have to say that I don;t find the driver's seat all that comfortable. I took a three hour trip this weekend and wasn't all that pleased. I'm 5'11'' with a short torso and I don't think the seat goes down far enough. The seats seem to be narrow. I came from a Mazda 3 so I'm not used to a giant suv by any means. I would agree that the seats are not that comfortable and not a high point of the Soul.

 

I agree with williamsron73. Not the most comfortable seats. My Rav4 was alot better than these, but then again it was a more expensive vehicle. I think for what the Soul is.....it is fine!

 

I find the seats quite comfortable - not in a cushy sort of way, but nicely supportive. Made a 500 mile trip with no issues whatsoever. I do think that seats in a new car need several weeks to break in and conform to their owner.

 

I'm a fatass and have chronic lower back and severe sciatica issues ...I find these are really comfortable seats even on long drives which I do often.

 

I just drove my new + home last night and couldn't help but notice that it feels like I'm about to slide out of the seat. Almost like it's tilted too far forward even though the up/down adjustment is all the way down.

Just my $0.02.

If it's all the way down, then your seat is tilted down. When you jack it up the front tilts up more than the back.

I've put 8500 miles on my Soul since August and I find the seats super-comfortable, even on the 600+ mile drive to NC from NJ. And back.

 

I too feel like there is no support under the front of your legs. I find if I pump it up it lifts the back of the seat and feels like I am leaning forward even more.

 

The seats are exceptionally poor.

I have back issues and it is sensitive to micro trama. The lower lumbar support of Soul is terrible. I've had to resort to strapping in a back support. It is unfortunate because I know the support is eventually going to damage the fabric and foam of the driver's seat.

No other car I've ever been in is as bad as Soul. I can be in my Subaru (lowered and stiffend suspension) for almost two hours before I really do have to get out because of the pain.

I sometimes find it hard to be in Soul for over thirty minutes. Had I been able to take a 40 minute test drive I would not have purchased Soul because of the poor seats. The front seats are my number one complaint.

 

Not to sound rude because that's not my intention but with the number of complaints you have about your car I really think you should get rid of your Soul....if it were me and I was as unhappy with it as you appear to be that's what I would do....there should be big sales on Toyotas soon.

 

I have back issues too, and these seats have been fantastic. My mother and father, both in their late 50's, agreed and said they were extremely comfortable. Now that I've commuted 300 miles in them, 53 miles each way, I really love them. Very supportive.

 

Hahahahah!

Instant classic.

 

dang - i'd hate to be a seat designer - there's just no possible way to overcome the fact of life that all butts ain't created equal -

but, since the large majority of comments seem to like the seat, it would seem appropriate for the majority of us to consider ourselves to be average butts -

 

wha??????

 

Both of my other current vehicles have Lombar supports, and neither are comfortable. This one is just fannytastic.

 

This one is just fannytastic.

LOL! I agree Red, fannytastic indeed. Took me a couple days to find the right seat position, no problems on long trips.

 

I love the seats I'm 6' and 250lbs I drive two hours a day and have no problems the Soul seats are lot better then my Ranger seats

 

Ok, I retract what I said...

I'm starting to get used to them. I guess coming from a 20 year old sports car, with super high bolsters that keeps your butt firmly in place, to these is kind of a shock to the system.

The seats in the Soul suck compared to the seats in my 95 Grand Cherokee. I could fall asleep in the Jeep's cushiony seats.

The Soul's seats are okay. I'm 21 so I'm not really picky...I can sit on it. I agree that they are supportive and firm, and they are noticeably better than a bunch of other cars I've driven. My butt does fall asleep every once in a while when I drive over an hour.

 

I find the seats to be quite comforable too. Ive had alot of vehicles.

 

I agree that thye are not very comfortable seats. I can't pin it down to anything specific, but I notice that I tend to slip down after a while and I need to push myself up with my feet to sit up in a straight position, otherwise my lower back starts to hurt.

 

You hit it on the head, I noticed that too, your ass slips forward its like a slight tilt moving you forward over time.
