I’ve been having issues with the seat padding my MME Premium. Maybe it’s just me, but I get tailbone pain halfway through a 2 hour drive. Sitting on a gel pad helps but it isn’t resolved.

I am 240# and sit up straight. Should I instead recline more??

BTW, this is a serious post. My Accord doesn’t bother my butt.

I have the same problem on long trips. I bought this cushion and no more pain.

I found the seats to be a little firm, too. We are about the same weight, but I have become accustomed to the feel. I hope you find a solution.

I slide my seat all the way back, lowered all the way to the floor, and reclined quite a bit in my '22 Select. No pain unless I splay my knee into the centre screen. I shoulder check out the rear passenger windows. I'm 6'4 245.

Same issue here. I haven’t been driving enough lately, but it’s definitely an issue on long trips.

I have had sciatica since my early 30's with a handicap parking permit and use Dr. Air Seat cushion at home, work and in the car.

Takes pressure off the tailbone.

I even take it along on long haul airline trips.

Thanks to everyone for your responses. Maybe Ford needs to add padding to the seats.
