Default Bottom side bolsters (again)

Has anyone that experiences discomfort from the bottom side bolsters found a resolution yet? Have they flattened over time, or has anyone gone to an upholstery shop for work? I know about the gent that drilled them out, but I was hoping for a different solution.

Is that the same guy that bent the support rods?
IF so, I have not seen any other solutions.

When I first get in the car, they're a bit tighter than I find comfortable, but after some seat time, they loosen up and it's not noticeable. If they're like the sport seat I have in my X5, I expect them to loosen up over time.
