    Hi,
    I am driving a nearly new Clubman with leather sport seats. Really enjoy driving the car around town, but anything over about 50 miles really gets to my rear and back. Tried foam cushion to no avail.
    Any thoughts short of buying expensive seats such as Recaros?

    Everyone's body shape is different to some degree, so what's a swell remedy for someone might offer no help to another.

    Having said that: from my motorcycling hobby, there are every kind of cushion available: gel pads, AirHawk modular inflatables, foam cushions sculpted every which way, sheepskins, roller beads, you name it. I've used gel pads and inflatable cushions before to cut down on saddle-soreness. (In my case, trying to relieve pain from my hip bone "points" pressing against the saddle/seat).

    Back is even trickier. More lumbar? Less? Higher? Lower? I've seen various lumbar solutions for seats, various sliding foam cushions to position wherever.
