I got new straps (and foams and covers) last year when I re-did my seats.
The new straps were really, really tight. Even after a year, the
seat back is a bit too stiff, and does not offer a whole
lot of lateral support.
I think the bottom couple of straps should be tight to provide lumbar
support, and the upper ones should be a bit slack so your upper
back and shoulder blades can settle down into the seat, and not slide around.
