Almost all aftermarket seats are firmer, with more support. The soft seats make your rear end go to sleep/sore sooner. Try the Mustang, you'll find you get used to it after awhile. Plus the Mustang seat better/thicker/less flexible (kinda like a real leather feel vinyl, it breathes accordingly. The OEM seats are stretchy vinyl and promote "swampa$$". Directly from the manuf. website "All foam is compounded and molded at our New England facility. For a seat to be comfortable, "it's what's inside that counts". The most important component of comfort is the seat foam--both the quality of the foam itself and its design. Each Mustang foam is formulated and cast to be soft enough for comfort and resilient enough to stand up to those "thousand-mile" days. Mustang has over 25 years of experience in compounding the right chemical mix to create the best controlled density polyurethane foam for all-day comfort. The foam has a density of approximately four pounds per cubic foot, depending on the size and thickness of the seat. The foam must then be molded to the correct shape to support your body at the best angle. Our quality foam usually feels firmer than stock but is less firm than other aftermarket seats. It will compress enough to mold itself to your body shape within about 15 minutes of riding time--every time you ride. You do not need a "break-in" period to be comfortable. Your 100th ride will be equal to your 10,000th mile. Mustang seats are known for retaining their shape and support after years of use."
