Some people get very different reactions from these seats. I think they are extremely comfortable, well bolstered. Others who sit in them find them to have no lower back support. We have had Volvo's for years, and really they have exceptional seats. The Range Rovers have very nice seats too. But the Benz is comfortable. I prefer power seats over manual. Velour is nice to sit on, but not as nice looking as leather. Our 1982 Volvo has blue velour, and the seats are like new. They are also very comfortable. Ford makes crap seats, by the way. Our Limited Explorer with leather has complete junk for seats.
