Picked up my Maverick today. Love everything except the seats which absolutely suck in the front (rear seats are nice and firm).

You sink down into them, and they provide zero support.

Wondering what people have done, I've seen some old threads but nothing really conclusive. I'm hoping I can go to an upholstery shop and they can add foam or something.
I don't think the seats are too bad in my Lariat. But, they could use a little more support since the Maverick handles so well. Maybe something out of a sporty Lincoln?

huh?
the front seats are terrible in the Maverick yet you bought one??
Maybe you should have sat in one BEFORE you spent the money??

My experience was that I didn’t fully realize the driver seat needed something extra till after I drove it a while (I have arthritis and lower back issues)
Perhaps the OP had a similar experience.
Maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to judge 🤷‍♀️

I just went out and bought a memory foam seat cushion and lumbar support-problem solved.My '22 XLT has no lumbar adjustment-shoulda stepped up a grade but when you buy sight unseen...
Whenever i see a seat augmentation like that I always wonder if you are battling a case of piles.
