Seat contour 958 vs 955??

For those that have owned a 955 and now own a 958, can you please tell me if the seat back rests are as scooped as the 955s? I had a 955 Turbo as a loaner and found that the seat backs were too deeply scooped such that my upper rear shoulder/back area was not against the back rest. I'm 5'10" and didnt like those seats. The contour seems consistent with Porsche since my Boxster and 996 C4S had the similar shape. I posted in the 955 section and the one and only respondent said that the seatbacks on the 958 are much improved over the 955. (Havent got a chance to go to the dealer, thanks in advance.)

True the new seats are night and day over the pre-2011 models.
One of the main reasons I traded up from my old GTS to my new CTT.
Side bolsters are adjustable on the sport seats and side lumbar as well. Back lumbar adjustable.
These seats you can drive hours in, the old seats after a 1 hour drive I was uncomfortable.
I'm 6ft 2in.
Softer leather as well on the new 958 and heat/cool ventilated, vs just heated on the 955

The 14 way seats are by far the most comfortable and adjustable seats I have owned (incl MB, BMW and Audi). Longest trek so far is about 7 hours; no complaints whatsoever. I know BMW and Audi offer massaging seats, but if I wanted a happy ending I would......

The 958 seats are night and day different in favor of the 958. Massaging seats are over rated. They don't even create enough pressure to gain any benefit from them. You barely feel them.
