Default Base 2010 V6 seat uncomfortable?

I have a base 2010 V6, and the driver seat is just unbearably uncomfortable. I've tried all the sitting positions I could think of and after 20 minutes I'm just squirming trying to get comfortable.

I believe the problem is a lack of lumbar support, however I bought a cheap back support thing at the dollar store and it unsurprisingly didn't help. I can't exactly sell the car over this but I don't mind buying different more comfortable seats. One problem with that is I have the tan interior and most aftermarket seats I've seen are black, would that look right?

Anyways, if you guys could suggest anything you think might help please do, my back is begging you!

so your seat has no motorized seat adjustments? mine has lumber adjustment and it helps. as for your @$$ comfort, if your seat raises, try raising it a tad just so that its not bottomed out. when i have mine bottomed out, my *** goes numb on long trips. feels like i'm sitting on plywood after a while.

I love the seats on mine. I came from a 2010 Mercedes to this and the change was insignificant. The bucket seats do sit much lower but I like the firm feel of them.

I have spent a few trips in my friends 2010 and i personally didnt think they were uncomfortable but he did say sometimes would kill his lower back so he started using one of those little roung/tubular pillow things to throw behind him when he would be on the road for abit of time. Cost him like 5 bux and said works decent. When he doesnt use he just tosses behind seat on the floor.
