Your right, some pictures available on Google Search.
The reason I asked is that it is now a possibility I may be ordering C43 Coupe with the Performance Seats and it was a knee jerk reaction.When I took a Sedan for a test drive, it had the Performance Seats and I found the side bolsters to be too tight.I am a large tall man.
The salesperson told me the bolsters WERE NOT adjustable so I dismissed the idea for ordering them.However, upon reading the on line Owners Manual I see they are in fact adjustable.So inow I will try to find a Coupe that has them to try them out before ordering.It is very important the seats are comfortable as I take long trips driving 12 - 14 hour days.

Before you order the sport seats, go sit in a base coupe. I had one as a loner yesterday and the seats were very different from my sedan. They have a high-back seat and they feel a bit deeper. You might find the stock coupe seats are just what you are looking for. FYI, I tried the race seats in a gla45 and hated them for 10 seconds of sitting. Couldn't imagine a drive in them.

The regular seats are more comfortable than the Perf seats. The perf seats just have a better look (subjective of course). I have the perf seats and they're fine for me, would I be heart broken if I didn't have them... Not really.

I guess it's a matter of opinion. You need to try them for yourself. I have the performance seats in my coupe and I love them. I've taken plenty of long rides with my lady and the only thing she complains about is how low they are when getting in and out. A problem I've told her a number of times can be remedied with the three presets. I've had loaners with the regular seats and I'm happy with my decision. Also the seats are highly adjustable including the side bolsters. The only adjustment it's lacking is the headrest. It's a shame when a salesperson is not even familiar with the product he/she is selling...smh.

Everyone says the standard seats sit lower than the performance seats..

Here you go. You will not regret these seats. I've had both these and the standard seats, I much prefer these.

Thanks everybody.
I will try to find a coupe that has the performance seats to give it a good test drive.
It will be great if they do sit lower as I need all the head room I can get.
I sure like the looks of them!

You are right, I stand corrected.

I must say though, I found those performance seats hard and uncomfortable when I was shopping my car. No way would I want to spend more than a couple hours in the Performance seats.

I opted for the sport seats and love them. 6'2" 195lbs, and fwiw the gf 5'8" 110 lbs likes them too. I've been on one 3 hour journey with no complaints.

My wife has a 2016 GLE with the most plush seats ever, yet I'm MUCH more comfortable in my performance seats.
They hug your body and keep you very supported. Even my wife makes comments when she's in my C43 how she
prefers my seats. I would assume if you are very overweight they may not be the best but if you are not, then I highly
recommend them!

AMG seats are great if you're tracking your car every weekend. But I'd hate to daily them. My brother has them in his GLA and even for a thin guy like myself, it was a TIGHT fit. I'm not sure how comfy they would be after an hour. I love my sport seats. Great support, firm but still enough softness for them to be comfortable long term, and they look just as good as the AMG seats in my opinion. If I was doing a lot of road trips in my car, I would have definitely opted for the Designo seats. Those things are fantastically comfortable!

It’s pretty clear from the varying answers that it’s a matter of opinion and you really need to try them out for yourself before making the decision.
