Default 06 Ram Seats?

I love everything about my Dodge but the front seats. I'm a large guy and my tail bone feels the support arms on the sides of the front seats. Has anybody else noticed anything like this?
I going to take it to a trim shop and have something done.

I added 1 1/2" of foam to mine. It only took 45 minutes to do it. Four bolts and unplug the wiring harness got the seat out. Turned it upside down. Unhooked the support wires from the springs, added the foam and a piece of indoor/outdoor carpet so the wires did not cut into the new foam. Reattached the springs to the wires and put the seat back in. Helped on those 15 hour drives to Colorado once a month.

I had to do exactly what lee recommended too. Definately helped although I think I used too soft of foam because it's breaking down too. Going to do it again with a better grade material.

The seats seem to be a common complaint on these trucks

Here's some good details on the surgery: 3rd gen front seat fix

Thanks Guys! That's the route I'm going to go.
2" super firm and the tip about the carpet to keep
from tearing the foam was good!
