I test drove a Denali before getting my F150 Lariat and I admit their seats were more cushioned, but I don't find the F150 seats to be bad once you get them adjusted properly. I love the cooled seats in the summer here in Texas.

My 2011 FX2 has leather seats as well. They were AWFUL when I first got the truck but they've since softened up and are very comfortable now.
Give it a little time.

Last week I spent 33 hours (per trip A meter) driving to and from a funeral, no complaints about the the seats, left them the way they were when I picked it up from the dealer 2500 miles ago.
6'3" 180 lbs. had a 2004 FX4 previously and do not notice a difference.

Have to admit I wasn't impressed with the Ford buckets at first. Drove to Daytona from Canada with my buddy's Ford last October.Having been a GM man for 30 years, hated the buckets for the first hour. Once I finally had the supports and seating position to my liking, I found them very comfortable . Just ordered a 2012 Platinum.

To the OP, I have the exact same complaint. After 5 minutes of sitting in my seat my back starts to ache. Feels like the seat only supports my upper back. I can't find a comfortable position for the life of me after adjusting everything.

I have cloth buckets in my 09 stx. I dont know if they are similar or not, but I love them. I am 6'6", and finding a comfortable car seat is a PITA sometimes. The only thing I dislike about them is the way the head rest point so far forward.

So I ordered a 2012 F150 with leather bucket seats. Dealer called saying the truck was in and I went, all excited, to pick it up. On the test drive, I found the seats to be VERY uncomfortable for me. Where the seat hits my upper back, it seems to push me forward with my lower back largely unsupported. I did adjust the lumbar, which only helped a little. Maybe I'm too tall or too fat. I currently drive a Denali and have always thought the Denali seats were great.
Frankly, I was so disappointed that I walked away from the deal. For me, the wife's 02 Sport Trac has better seats. I love everything about the truck except the seats. Maybe I could grow to accept them. But I ain't willing to spend 40 large to find out.
Anyone with a similar experience?

I have a 2012 Screw with cloth, I don't know if the seat foam they use on the leather is the same or not, but to me it seems too firm. I don't have any issues with the seat back, it's the seat bottom, there is a very pronounced ridge that runs on each side of where you sit and after a short time it feels like you are sitting on something that doesn't belong there and you end up fidgiting and adjusting your a** on the seat. I have 17,xxx miles and it has gotten a little better, but still not what you'd expect out of a new truck at all.
