I have read the contour seats with the massaging and cooling are less comfy as they have mechanical vs gas/air bags in them like in regular contour.

To be honest, I have also seen some of your other posts. You do seem to be looking for things to find objection to, I mean I get it, these cars aren't cheap and I can have OCD too but no car is perfect. I don't mean to offend but you were looking for issues before you even got the car, then had issues with non issues. lol No wonder you need the relaxing seats... but yeah the massaging seats are ironically less comfortable. Dealers and others weren't going to tell you that, unfortunately with all these features you really have to do your own research and try everything and I mean everything.

All that aside, I ordered the normal contour seats after people complained about the regular sport.
The dealership I went to had one in stock and it was pretty nice to me without the massage and until the product specialist showed me, I didn't know you can bend the top part of the back too.

I dont know if theres anyway for you to solve the sitting on rods feel, but these are the same exact seats on the 7 series except with your unfortunate massaging feature (this has been noted by other reviews online). If you bought the car vs lease, I'd suggest getting those bottom parts repadded.

Good luck
