need more side bolster support!

I'm a skinny guy and I find the side bolsters on my cloth seat 2007 are not supportive enough. I like the airbag so a race seat is out of the question. Anyone know of a good solution? I'm thinking of getting the seat covers and then stuffing the bolsters....

No meth here, I'm a vegan so I don't put on weight easily. Plus I like being thin and lightweight and manuverable...I remind me of my car...although maybe I'm more like a miata...

you could probably get the 09 r3 seats. recaro makes them and since they comes stock they should have side airbags in them. or at least i think they would.

Will those fit in an 07, or an 04 for that matter?

That would be awesome, but the I've heard the price would be a bit scary.

Has anyone tried stuffing the Mazda seat covers? Or some similarly priced solution?

I recommend a diet of bacon and grilled cheese sandwiches cooked in the bacon grease.

Or some pillows. But the meat is a better option. Really. Your body doesn't work right without meat.

One more serious suggestion.

Put your left foot on the dead pedal and push yourself back into the seat with it, then brace your right knee against the center console. A firm pillow makes this easier. it should keep you from sliding around in your seat so much.
