2019 C300 W205 Seat Support?

Took several test drives but would like input on seat comfort for long drives.

Are the seats supportive or too soft? I have back issues so the firmer the seats are the better, especially for multi hour trips.

Thanks for any input.

I've done Houston to Austin (roughly 3-4 hours) and back with no discomfort. Mine are MB-tex sport pkg seats.
It's not S-class comfortable, but I have no complaints with multi-hour trips so far.

Thanks @JAMADOR

Mine I believe are non-sport? Whatever comes with leather seating package. Heated but not ventilated.

Just don’t want the seats to be too soft and non supportive.

Can anyone else convey their thoughts?

I had a base C300 for a loaner & the seats seemed a little softer, but not really any less supportive, just less bolstered than the sport seats. Only drove the loaner about an hour at the longest.

I love the seats. I have leather in a sport and I don’t think they’re soft. Great side bolsters. Try adjusting the lumbar support on the lower side of the seat.

The lumbar support pushes right into the sore spot in my lower back! Plus it deflates when not needed...love that feature and the seat!

Thanks everyone. Went to the dealer and drove again, paying lots of attention to the seat this time. Seems like it will be a great road car!
