Looking at the Lariat, King Ranch or Platinum? For Long Trips and Daily driving which leather seats are the most comfortable. I know people will see go sit in them, but the dealers around here do not have any in stock, and I have to order one. I do not have to have massaging seats, but want very comfortable and long lasting leather. Between the heated and cool Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum seats which ones do you feel are the most comfortable?

Thanks

 

The seats in my 21 Powerboost Lariat (non max recline) are not as comfy at all. I cannot speak to other trims, but compared to my only reference point (a 17 Raptor), I am disappointed in the comfort. They are too firm and the seat bottom is too long so they scrunch up the back of my knees unless I crank up the lumbar support to push my lower back outward. I am at 6k miles and not sure if they will eventually "break in" or if this is what I am to live with.

 

Only your butt can tell you. It's like asking what bed is the most comfortable.

 

I had two 4hr trips this weekend in my Lariat, and my wife & I didn't have issues. They could be a little more comfortable, but I think it's just a matter of adjusting the seat some, and maybe a lumbar adjustment too. The only thing that won't get corrected is I wish there were some side bolsters on the seats, but that's it. I don't have experience with any other trims though.

 

I'm not sure about the non sport model cloth seats in the newer trucks....but I do know that the cloth seats in my '13 XLT was far more comfortable than my '19 and my '20 XLT sport package seats. The sport seats are much more firm...and the fabric seems more rigid.
The leather seats in my '21 Lariat are pretty comfy to me, though still quite firm...but still not as comfortable as the cloth in my '13 XLT was. That is my experience...I haven't driven in the upper trims, so I can't speak for those.
Edited to add: The ventilated seats in the Lariat alone is worth the difference to me.

 

I find the 302a cloth seats (non-sport) more comfortable than Lariat leather. Same adjustments, but softer and more breathable. So I saved a few bucks and went XLT.

 

Didn't you just ask this question a few days ago?

 

I find the leather seats in this one to be VERY comfortable. My 4th F-150 and my 3rd King Ranch. This truck is simply a pleasure to drive. Seats in my 2016 killed my back after sitting in it for 2-3 hrs. I'd be looking for a place to stop and get out to stretch my legs every so often. Not the case with the 21. So far, 4700+ miles, and I am very pleased with the seats and overall ride quality of the truck.

 

I have the Platinum and find that the seats are comfortable if a bit firm. With the three inflatable zones I can tailor the feel of the seats quite well. The massage function takes a little to get used to and I like it on a relatively straight road but not so much in curves as the massage in the seat bottom can be unwelcome while turning. My Wife likes the seats on straight ahead roads but finds that the flat seating area and lack of side supports in the bucket causes her to lean quite a bit around sharp corners compared to our other vehicles.

 

I too am considering which model to order and seat comfort is a big deal to me. Decisions, decisions.
