New guy here. Just got my 2011 Lariat 3 weeks ago. I'm 6' 2" tall, 230 lbs and really like the 10-way leather buckets with every adjustment known to mankind. On a long trip, it's nice to be able to make minor "click-click" adjustments. I agree the seats are on the firm side, but I've driven sports sedans for years with seats just as firm or firmer.

My only complaint is the lack of a place to put my left foot. The part of the floor that angles upwards next to and under the pedals is just too flat. Will probably build some kind of "dead pedal".

 

I had a 2002 lariat with the leather seats and was mortified when I bought my 2005 F150. The new seats 2004-present are all the same, very uncomfortable, little padding, terrible for comfort.

 

You're about 6" taller than I am, but with my seating position, my left foot either rests on the heel, or flat right in front of the seat. I enjoy the seating position in my Lariat - more like a couch than a laz-y-boy. It makes for a more relaxed morning commute (stuck in stop-and-go traffic).

I have a 2011 XLT and my seats are great.
