    For these seats in the S5? I have the "comfort" package, not sure if that contributes to by discomfort... I'm not obese by any means - 6'4", 225lbs. Thoughts? Maybe eat less?

    I'm 6', 140 lbs and I feel my butt is an exact fit for my seat. I highly doubt anyone over 200 lbs would love the seats...

    Studies show 70% of American females are uncomfortable in S5 seats ......

    Just so we're all on the same page, these are the 'comfort' seats, right? With the independently adjustable headrest?



    And these are the standard or 'sport' seats.



    My car's got the sport seats. I'm 5'8" 1--too many lbs and I still think this car has got the best seats of anything I've ever driven. The only other car that's come close for me is the Recaros in the Focus ST. Those are tighter than the Audi seats, and I still love them. I'd really like to drive an S5 or RS5 with the ROW Recaros.

    Yeah - I haven't sat in the regular sport seats. Wondering if the comfort seats are a little narrower. The pressure is really on the bolster by my thighs, not my actual butt... Not sure if seat position also matters, but I slam my seat bottom all the way down and jack the front all the way up with the seat back at a pretty regular angle. Who knows...

    225lbs isn't exactly over weight for someone 6'4".

    I thought the comfort seats are slightly wider with less boulster for the larger person?



    Not sure if this option is still available from Audi, the Super Comfort Seat

    Perfect! I'm also looking into the ultra fluffy seat option.

    I would assume the comfort seats would be wider not narrower than the sport seats. They look like the standard A5 seats with added thigh extension.

    I wish it was. Feels like if it was just 1/2" wider it would help. Think it's a combination of sitting position, how my seat is set and my size. Just happen to align my left leg (by sciatic nerve) on the left bolster.

    I found this thread where a guy had the same problem on his right leg and was significantly smaller than I am...

    The thigh extension serves no purpose to me honestly. it's just there for looks. it just a sink for dust and crumbs haha
