Uncomfortable drive seat in 2009 Accord?
I just bought my third Accord - a new 2009 LX Sedan after having great experiences with a 1986 and 2001 Accords I had bought used. I am finding the front seat unbelievably uncomfortable, and have not yet been able to find a comfortable setting and have tried adding various cushions to no avail. Are others having similar problems? Any advice?
The newer seats are taking longer to break in, give it some time. I have a 2004 i got used and its comfortable, my sister has a 2009 that, like you said is a little uncomfortable, its a bit to firm isnt it?.... My guess is that after a year it will have been used enough to make it comfortable.
Hey Dan,
You're in good company. I'm having the same problem with the 09 accord sedan (also in the Boston area). To me, the seat back forces your back to arch too much. Here's what helped me somewhat: a support called the McCarty's sacro ease premium back support. I got the full length model that goes all the way up to your shoulders. The advantage is it has a frame that you can either leave straight (which I did) or bend according to the contour you want. At first, the cushion wasn't as comfortable and my butt got numb, but after a bit of use, it's getting better. The Relax the Back store will give you 10 days to try it out or return it. It's kind of pricey. Hope this helps.
I am assuming you both also played with the placement of the lumbar support control to see whats best.
nothing will help. I've tried everything.But pushing a pin behind headrest bar which pushes headrest forward will at least push lump in seat down
Same problem here. New 2009 LX and theseats are back killers! So far no solution. Looking for an UPPER back pad to balance out the exaggerated lumbar support.
