Can you be comfortable in any seat at 270lbs?

I am 6'2" 210ish. I am perfectly comfortable.

axmea? · 01-29-2016, 10:33 PM

I'm 4'5 and 230sheeez.

I'm 6'4 230 lbs and have done 8-10 hour drives, stop every now and then to stretch the legs but other than that it's not bad.

Your body weight does matter in the 370z seats. If you are 250 and above you will complain.

I'm a bulky muscular 5 10 kid ... I weigh about 205 and I fit very comfortable in it

Leingod · 02-01-2016, 10:38 AM

I'm 1'2 and am a bit over 1 metric coconut. Touring seats still comfy

Six ft 1 inch tall.

Have no problems. But saying that I keep fit - I have friends that weigh about the same - mostly around the middle, and they will complain that the seats are not comfy.

Long trips we take twice a year 6,000km return trip approx Darwin - Adelaide run (Australia) and stop only to stretch/fuel/overnight - seats never a problem.
My wife is about 5 ft high and weighs as much as an ant - she will sleep most of the bloody journey curled up, so the seats are pretty good kit.

Touring seats are awesome - and my controls are electronic and on the left side of the seat not the right like you indicated?

Memphis370Z · 02-03-2016, 07:19 PM

No complaints here. Love mine.

Z Touring seats are the 2nd best seats this rear end has had the pleasure of sitting in!!! My G35 sedan sport seat were the best ever.

Pagoda · 02-03-2016, 08:49 PM

I found the touring seats were not padded enough, dug into my thigh and hip. Also I'm not a little guy. I took the drivers seat out, performed some surgery removing the side bolster wire metal frame and moved the electronic seat control to the front. Still a little digging into leg, but a slight adjustment usually corrects. I may pull it out again and add some more foam...

But its not gonna stop me from driving my Z. All else about the car is awesome.

darkphantom · 02-03-2016, 09:01 PM

Seat controls going into your leg?? How big are you legs or what are you doing with them?!? 6'0" ~185lbs...i'm fine, gotta stretch every now and then though on those long drives.

Really. At 270 he'd better be 6' 7" + in which case I'd figure he'd complain more about his head bangin' into the roof.
If not, I suggest it's time to put down those burgers...and I mean back down on the plate, not down the throat.

As for the seats, they're great and the controls are so out of the way I often find them tough to get to.
