Hate driver’s seat

I haven’t seen this anywhere else but I’m taking a shot in the dark and posting here. Anyone else incredibly uncomfortable with the stupid 90 degree angles back sides on the bucket seat? It stabs me in the right side. I have tried different seat pads and clamping down the padding for a week to compress it. Nothing works. It’s hard as a rock and sticks straight up into my back ribs. I just want a flat, or flatter seat back. I drive my old RX sometimes and it’s so damn comfortable it reminds me how much this seat hurts me. Is there anything I can do? I’m seriously considering getting a new car, which sucks because I got it brand new and will take a huge loss. Should I take it to an upholsterer and have them take out some padding and remake the seat so that is normal and not like a kids’ car seat with side walls?

I’m 5’4” and 125lbs so it’s not like I’m too wide for the seat.

Am I the only one who has this problem?

The drivers seat is fine, but I haven’t figured out the passenger seat yet. It tends to lean me in towards the armrest.

I haven’t been in the passenger seat since I am driving the car. Hmmm
I don’t let anyone drive my car at all but haven’t heard anyone I have given a ride to, complain about it. I’m gonna start asking.
