The car isn’t the most comfortable car in the world. The people that say it is, well they are lying to themselves.
I would like to say though compared to the ND Miata, the car is 100x more comfortable. Definitely depends on what other cars you've had. Compared to the RX7, definitely more comfortable, compared to lets say the CX9, not as comfortable.

Once you're in I think the Supra is very very comfortable. I also kinda like that you gotta do the supercar squat and turn to get in, friends feel special when they get a ride. Plus, Feels and looks like a freaking JDM batmobile!

I was comparing it to Honda Civics, Accord, RSX, Integra, TSX, TLX, MDX, RDX, and RAV4.

I’m 6’4” and 220 lbs. I have the same issue. Just gotta sit upright more. I reach back with feel the space between the seat and bar and give it about a half inch of room. The girls love your height, the Supra don’t.
speaking of girls, the A90 is perfect for petite girls.....

Those are Honda's except for the Rav4, you're not giving the Supra a fair chance compared to those cars :p

Why would you compare the supra to any of these? They aren't even in the same category. TLX? INTEGRA? Gotta be kidding me lol. This is a true sports car with M sport suspension underneath. Maybe sell your supra and buy the new 22 TLX if you're worried about pure comfort and a little bit of sportiness.

I am good thanks. I appreciate your concerns. Just saying the car isn’t comfortable.

Stock they are fairly comfortable. Not like a Mercedes, but better than 80% of the sporty-ish cars out there. You absolutely have to learn how to fold in and out if over 6' even more so when you lower the ride.

I ruined my comfy ride completely by adding springs and sway bars. But vastly improved the control on the track where i drive it 80% of the time.

6'2" 205 and at the track I actually move the seat forward to get closer to the wheel.

If you are looking for the impala lean back driving style- there is no way.

So, while searching, I ran across a video on YouTube. He lays the stock bar next to a Cusco one that they painted green and he shows where the factory bolt holes are. Based on this screen capture, I do believe that the Cusco bar will afford a bit more room at the top of the seat. Pic and link to the video below:

6'3" here. I find this actually to be one of the most comfortable cars i've ever owned. This includes my old Focus ST with Recaros.

That being said i would also urge you guys to remember to adjust your steering wheel. Remember it also telescopes. I find a lot of people forget you can move the wheel closer or farther away from you and that can change seating position a lot.
