Astra K seat is killing my back

Hi everyone,

I have a 2016 Opel Astra K and I’m really struggling with the driver’s seat. After buying and driving it for 2 days, my lower back starts hurting because it feels like something is constantly pushing into it.

The seat has the lumbar adjustment button with four arrows (up/down/in/out). I’ve tried pretty much every possible setting. I moved the lumbar support all the way back so the “bump” should be at its minimum, but I can still clearly feel something pressing into my lower back.

I’ve also tried changing the seat height, backrest angle and my distance from the steering wheel, but I still can’t find a comfortable position. My back actually hurts even when bending over afterwards.

I’m 190 cm and 75-80 kg.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to reduce/remove the lumbar support even further, or could there be something wrong with the seat itself?

Thanks!
