I don't think so

Pool noodles are big, round and clunky. Beside that they are some type of styrofoam. That type of repair is certainly not going to last long. I would check out the seat and find out where or what the problem is. Are the springs broken. There are a number of DIY's on that problem. Is the horsehair pad rotten and disintegrating. I have seen posts lately that say they are readily available from your favorite thief, I mean stealer dealer. So, if you like your Benz and Love your wife, fix it right so she will really love riding with you. I fixed my own driver seat which was really bad by taking the passenger front seat from a parts car I bought and using the base of that seat on the drivers side. It is a little difficult to adjust the seat back, but can be done. But in the junk yards also, typically the passenger seat is in much better condition then the driver seat. If you can find one that looks and feels good and has not been out in the weather for years, it makes for a good upgrade.
