Anyone use any padding for Bucket Seats?

Anyone use any recommended pillows for the lumber support for the Bucket seats?

I can’t imagine why you would ever need padding for these ultra class almost rolls Royce like seats ?
They are so comfortable.

Exactly. Apparently you don’t know much about having a bad back. It’s not about softness. It’s about support. The lumbar pillow is about adding bulk to support your back by sitting in the curved part. Not because the buckets are too hard.

Should you option the buckets if you have a bad back? Probably not

I wouldn’t recommend the buckets for someone that has back issues. The seats themselves are comfy but I can’t imagine it would be good from an ingress/egress perspective on a regular basis.

I don’t have a bad back and sometimes I struggle to get out of the seats if the space is tight and I can’t open the door enough. Can’t imagine if I had a bad back…

The back issue is caused by this too much padding support. You though it is more comfortable when you sit in, but actually your back and padding are fighting against when driving…

For you maybe.
For others it’s just breakfast.
