Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Mona, I found this answer, but I'm worried that, as for myself, most readers won't know what that means (or maybe it's just me!) This is just a note, by the way, I'm not declining your answer. Thanks! :-)

مقعد مصمم لراحة الجسم


Explanation:
I suggest that you should use something like "مصمم بصورة تلائم راحة الجسم". and avoid lietral meaning.

ذو منحنيات


Explanation:
Could use some extra thought to come closer to something like:
مشَكَّل بمنحنيات مريحة or perhaps ذو تفصيل/تصميم بمنحنيات
Still needs some work, but maybe you can use these as a starting point.
