I think I've got good support now for the lumbar spine, but can imagine that the angle of the seat is going to get old. I'm used to a car with total power seats with lots of adjustment, so I could just change it when one position got tiring.
I have a long history with back pain and car seats. And the dealer has a 3-day 300 mile money-back offer, so I've got to decide if this will work for me. It would be great to know how to get more information about custom seats.
Thank you!

Back problems are pretty much like Tolstoy's description of the difference between happy and unhappy families. Different from each other (neither a quote nor a paraphrase, but I think a segue).
Last year on long drives I found I could barely walk at the end. This year I set my front seat all the way back (I'm around 5'6'') and that seems to have solved my problem.
