Luckily the issue is very evident, it feels like the pad is too hard for me to lean on with so much pressure, and for so long. Also im a big dude, would help if the pad were wider so the pressure is not directly in a small area

I have the adjustable as well and really like it. Wide range of adjustment, and on the fly.

Mine too. It's heavy for a back rest and higher maintenance also. My back can tell the difference when removed. See sig pic

I have the same back rest as the one pictured. Works great and is very comfortable.
