My wife has stenosis and arthritis in her back. Constant pain. She loves the Raptor seats...especially with the heat on. Proper lumbar adjustment is crucial amongst other adjustments she has tuned. I don't think that the Recaro seats bring much to the comfort equation if anything. Both seats are objectively among the most comfortable seats every placed in a truck. If back pain is an issue in the Raptor either you aren't properly adjusting the seats or your particular issue is severe enough to be extremely unique and I feel bad for you. Watching my wife over the years and many surgeries later providing only moderate relief my heart goes out to anyone suffering persistent back pain
