F-250 Backrest?

I find my '03 F-250 drivers seat very uncomfortable. No matter which way I adjust it's just not comfortable. I am short and that doesnt help. I find one position that I do like just that at that point my legs not comfortable on the front of seat. Does anyone make a specific back rest for this seat? I think if I find something that pushes me further a little that will help. Any suggestions would be great.

I'm in the same boat. if you do not have power seats your pretty much screwed but if you have 6 way power do what I do. Lower the seat as far to the floor as it will go then lower the front of the seat till its comfy and not putting any pressure on the bottom of your legs just behind your knees. Then I adjust the back till I find just the right spot.

when I go to the truck wash and some wash jockey moves my seat or tilts my steering wheel all the way up I really hate that
wish ford had the memory thingy for your seat. The wifes lexus has 2 seat memory settings for more then one driver

Why not just pull the fuse to the seat motors? If you're not moving the seats around, that'll keep a wash jockey from messing up your config...

Moving forward doesn't help, nor does...

lowering it down. I'm looking for something that will support my lower back which will in turn push my legs forward and make it more comfortable. I didn't know who makes good backrests and if someone was making one specifiacally for that seat. Thanks.
