I did have an experience on an American E145 to STL a few years ago where my seat felt like there was a mis-shapen bar the back of the cushion which was hard on the tailbone. Kind of like sleeping on a hide-a-bed couch. But since that time I haven't had trouble with E145 seats.

Was your discomfort more about the seat design? Cabin wall? Seat ptich or width?

Some of Midwest's OMA flights are E170 and others are E145, so depending on what flight you book you might be on either plane.
I was on a 145 going and a 170 coming back. I was fine with the 170. Maybe it was simply the one seat I was in. It was extremely hard and I moved around, but never could get my rear end comfortable. I am only 5' 8" and pitch is never really a problem for me.
