H3 Seats uncomfortable

[chaos254]

Anybody else think our seats are uncomfortable? Anytime I take a long trip my right leg and hip hurt from the seat. Even when my wife takes it to work, she complains about the same thing. Her commute is only about an hour.

And no we are not fat lol

Have you tried all types of adjustment in the seat?

My seat is very comfortable now but it took a while of adjustment to get it right. Im 6'5" so that probably didnt help.

Agree. I would like the adjustable seats from the Lux model.

Maybe thats why...The lux leather seats have a ton of adjustment. Not sure what the cloth seats are like.

I prefer the feel of my wife's cloth seats with just lumbar, tilt, and front to back adjustments. In my Alpha the seats seem taller, and I can adjust them to be perfect, I just like the cloth vs leather.

I've done long road trips in both and I find the seats very comfy and supportive, 15.5HR didn't bother me at all in the Alpha and 6.5hr in the Adventure.

I wish I had the cloth seats but with the adjustments of my leather ones. Although it's nice to have a 4x4 with leather and seat warmers... Lol. I feel like I should keep a jar of grey poupon in the truck. Every couple weeks I condition the seats. Leathers ok until it starts cracking.

My leathers are great. Did a couple of 16 hr trips and the fronts were great... The rears not so much haha

Love the cloth seats in my '06 - and get many compliments the in the same vein. Like cgalpha08, I've done a few 24hr trips and the seats were the saving grace.

When I was shopping for my truck I was able to check out an Alpha with leather seats. I prefer the cloth seats myself and did not care for the leather ones. I thought maybe the base of the seat could use a bit more length and tilt for thigh support, but I can live with them like I've been doing for the last 80K miles. I have Recaros in my K1500 and the Hummer seats don't compare to those. The Recaros probably wouldn't fit since they are a bigger seat. I don't think they designed H3's & T's for tall people. I think I would've liked to have the steering wheel a few inches closer when I have the seat slid back for (my) leg room.

I love my leather seats and with all the adjusting buttons it has they sure can be configure to be very comfortable...however it does takes quite sometime to get the right setting on.

I also feel the H3 cloth seats are less than comfortable. The seats in my Tahoe are quite comfortable; I expect that the H2 has the same type of seat support.

I have cloth, non power seats. Dont really have any adjustments. I bet the leathers with power adjustments would be a lot better.

Stock H3 leather seats suck. The cloth ones are more comfortable. The rare power cloth driver seat, IMO, is the most comfortable of the bunch.

H2 seats are the most comfortable seats I've ever had my ass on. Better than a 2011 Tahoe LTZ and 2010 Escalade.

Also, I'm about 5'8" and um, light.

Yea, I assume so. I have tons of adjustability. Like torres said above it can be a while till you find the sweet spot where its comfortable but once you do its a comfortable seat.

What else sucks about our rigs? Nothing wrong with mine, mine's perfect...for my sorry callused ass!

I guess it's all relative. GM could have used 5 gallon buckets for the front seats and I still wouldn't get rid of the HUMMERs.

 

[chaos254]

im not getting rid of it. I love this truck just wondering if maybe it was just us that had issues with the seats.

I wonder if tahoe/yukon seats would fit. They are very comfortable

No problem here with the leather in my alpha. Very adjustable, very comfy

 

[2010H3TAlpha]

Love my Alpha leather seats. I have a messed up back/neck from being rear ended by a lady who was texting a couple years ago and I can drive my truck for hours no problem.

 

[DJinCO]

Hmmm. Perhaps I should convince my wife that we need to buy an Alpha for the leather seats... hmmmmm.
I think we are onto something here!

This is what I have on the drivers side only, and I love them!

6'1 250lbs ass; feels great with my H3 holding it.............................. but I also drove a 04 Jetta TDI for 4 years 94 miles to work each way everyday. Still have the Jetta, Hummer seats are more comfortable than the Jetta. I use to have to stop every now and then on the highway and get out for a few minutes and walk around because my lower back would stat killing me. Took the Hummer on a 6hour road trip last weekend for he first time and was comfortable the entire trip.

The H3 really needs a telescoping column. I'm 6'-2" and if I adjust the seat for my legs...my arms get tired, because the wheel is too far away. So I scoot the seat way forward so my knees touch the dash. Its more comfortable this way.

Also...I have to take my wallet out of my hip pocket on long trips.

I bicycle, used to race, and I think fitting there applies here

Whenever someone complained about their hips, or legs - we'd adjust their reach to the handlebars. Make sure, first, that you can put your arm straight and hook your wrist over the top of the steering wheel. All adjustments cannot change that basic premise - otherwise, you'll hurt in a variety of interesting and seemingly unrelated places.

I do the exact same thing and I'm only 5'7"
