Hi,

My wife has now had a drive in the Octavia, and likes the car very much, however she found the seat quite uncomfortable, the side bolsters are quite hard and pressed on the side of her thigh to a degree which was almost painful.

She is not that generously proportioned, but wider in the hips than me!!

We wondered if others have had a similar experience, and whether an extra cushion would alleviate the problem?

Can anyone suggest a suitable cushion?

there have been various reports of the seat bolsters being quite hard - and you either love it or loath it.

I suffer from a dodgy back on and off and when it is bothering me the !pinched hips" does not help. but on the majority of occasions I love the seats.

When I am suffering I place a, relativly thin, cushion on the centre of the seat a find that helps a lot.

Thanks slider, We thought we would try another drive using a cushion and see if that helps.

My wife found the sides of the backrest to be exactly at the same width as her arms. And since she's not that tall, her arms press against the sidecushions all the time. We ordered the Duo leather-fabric upholstery, because she didn't like the feel of the all-fabric seats rubbing against her arms.

And it also might be a bit more civilized an interior with the leather too..
