standard seat comfort

How do you all feel about the standard front seat comfort for long drives? I sat in it, and felt just ok. I have had E classes from a long time ago and the seats were quite bad, espically when becoming old. I think the most comfortable seats so far are the 5 series "comfort/sport" seats. Anybody have complaints for lack of comfort or support over long distances?

I think they are too soft.I know the older versions the seats were made by Recaro ,but im not sure about the new ones.
I do a lot of long distance driving and i noticed my back gets tired .But again I am 6'5'' and older now..

Multi-contour is the only way to go. Standard seats are good, but being able to shape them to your liking is just perfect.
