Default Stupid seat position question

Hello,

I've driven and owned loads of cars and in many done circa 40k a year. Seat comfort has never been an issue but i did find my 2014 v60 r design seats exceptionally good.

I've driven lots of autos but never owned one.

I'm now in a 2015 v70 se lux auto. When I first drove it i found it very comfortable and had no complaints.

However, as I've now started putting some miles on it I struggle to find the right position, primarily for my right leg.

It's not an issue of seat, back or bum comfort as this is all fine.

In manual cars I've just always positioned the distance to the pedals based on my clutch foot and never really thought about my right foot, accelerator or brake. That has all just worked.

With this I try and position it as though I have an imaginary clutch pedal pushed to the floor but still find on a long journey that my right leg starts to get a bit uncomfortable kind of like a dead leg but no where near to that level.

I'm 5ft9 and fairly normal build. I suspect I'm just over thinking this now but it's really annoying me that I'm struggling to get comfy in a car that's all about comfort.

Any similar experiences or words of wisdom?

Thanks
Steff
