I like my JL seats a little more then the JK seats. Lumbar is nice.

I like the JL, somewhat. The angle of the seats bottom part could be angled back a little mlre. The lumbar support is great, except when the seat is laid flat, to sleep, or nap. Then, the lumbar support just plain hurts.

Have you ever gone to a city park or somewhere where they have those horrid picnic tables made out of concrete? If you like those, then you'll love the JL seats.

I liked the TJ seats the best. They actually had some softness in them. I liked the JK series second best. The JL is okay for short runs, like to the mailbox, but other than that, I don't like them.

i've been in the tj seat that my brother had and they were comfortable. i sat in the 07 jk and they were hard but got comfortable towards the end of the jk production. the jl is by far the most comfort. when i test drove mine i was happy with the position and how it felt.

The JL seats are comfortable, but the head restraints are the worst. I wish I could angle them less aggressively.

I'm 5'8", and I find the JL seats more comfortable than my JK. That's about the only thing I like about the JL. I'd trade even up to get my JK back. :)

I think it's going to depend on your anatomy and fitness to some extent. My 2019 JLUS hurt my back a little initially (but I've never found a car lumbar support I liked.) Changed my adjustments and drove a few miles and seemed OK. About 3000 miles later and it's still good. I would suggest you take an extensive test drive and play with the seat and position to make sure you like it.

My JL is much more comfortable on long trips than the JK was.
