I am pretty happy with my seats but I did add a tempurpedic lumbar support pillow which makes a world of difference! I have some lower back problems so the extra lumbar support helps. Otherwise, I think the seats are pretty comfortable.

I have back problems while in the Boxster too. I've been using the little lumbar pillow that came with a big ObusForme back support, but I'm now finding that anything more than half an hour and I start to get leg pain too. I tried the inflatable pillow behind the backrest, but it was too high for me.

This is the one thing that makes me think about selling the car sometimes. I'm going to look into the Tempur Pedic pillows.

I have a 986, a 987 and a 996 and all the seats are more comfortable for me than any other cars I've owned. The 986 has the sport seats and they are by far the most comfortable. I am 5' 9" and 175 lbs and they are perfect for me, but I can see how they may be less so for a larger person. I have noticed in the past that if you buy a used one that was owned by a larger person the seats can be wallowed out and a lot less comfortable for someone my size.

+1 on the tempurpedic pillow, I had an older one which I measured and cut in half then pulled out the back seat pad where I could reach my hand in and pulled/feed the pillow in, did on both seats and wife now does not complain on long trips, well at least as it relates to the seat issue..............

total difference in the feel and comfort.
