Must be the same in the Space Shuttle ;)..........................."Nissan Qashqai comfort levels are also boosted by the seats, which Nissan claims were inspired by NASA research to provide optimum support. Just how much NASA input they actually contain we don't know but they certainly feel comfortable and supportive over long journeys".

That makes sense of course - my bottom certainly feels soggy after sitting down for long spells - nice to think that an astronaut is supported all round!

Is that age related ?

Regarding saggy seat, I bought one of thesehttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Carpoint-Luxus-Luxur ... 442832?Not only is it very comfortable beneath your bum, but it stops any stretching of the seat at it takes all the weight from your body. Ventilation holes help keep it cool.I was beginning to see some sagginess but everything has gone back into shape since using this, the seat looks like new again.

It's fairly normal on most leather seats for that to happen. Though in all the cars I had with leather seats it would take years for it to be that bad. One of the reasons I now prefer fabric seats, they look good for years if kept clean. Leather only looks good for a relatively short time before the saggy seat syndrome strikes.It can be fixed though if you bring it to a specialist leather repair place.

Hi Jon. Does that "work" in the back too or is it angled to fit in the front seats only? The only complaint I get about my car is that the rear seat is too hard. This could be the answer to my daughter's discomfort - as long as it doesn't result in an unduly angled seating surface nor one that slides sideways on the back seat

It may slide around on the rear seat as it has a fabric base, on the front seat it fits pretty tightly within the side pieces so does not move around. I suppose the narrow end may tuck between the upright and base of the seat at the back and wedge in place if pushed in, this may do the trick, but my days of getting in the back seat of a car have long gone
