Seat question

Picture of the newly stanced ‘burb for your time. (I installed a front end leveling kit a couple of weeks back. You are correct, I don’t go offroad. You are correct, it isn’t even 4WD. You are correct, it is 95% for aesthetics. But I do live on a street that is prone to street flooding, and that 5% is for extra font end clearance. OK, if I’m being honest, it is more like 99% aesthetics. Ring up my bro truck points.)

On to the question. I really like my ‘burb, but the driver seat is killing my shoulders. I’m not huge (6'2", 175), but the bolsters on the drivers seat push my shoulders forward, and I have a 50 minute commute each way to work. I have a rectangular pillow from the Relax the Back store (one of those self-inflating ones) that is doing an OK job, but looking for a solution that fits the seat a bit better and maybe doesn’t look horrible if I leave it on the seat full time. What I need is something that supports m y back, but allows my shoulders to be in a normal position, not pushed forward by the bolsters. I ordered a back pillow from Amazon that might work, but thought I’d throw the question out to the Oppo hive mind for suggestions.

(Side note - what is up with the aggressive bolsters on a Suburban anyway? I’m not tracking this thing, the seat on this should be like a sofa.)

Looks good! Can’t help you on the seats. Had a Denali XL that I thought was really comfortable.

Put some Recaros in it imo.

I don’t have any suggestions other than to tilt the seat back a bit but would be interested in answers because I have the same problem with my tall 6’3” torso

find an upholstery shop nearby that is good with custom work. It’s hard to say what their options would be though if those seats have air bags in them.
