2018 E300 Designo Leather Seats?

Anyone have or been in the e300 with the Designo Leather? I am wondering about the feel and comfort of the seats? I now have an e350 with the Nappa leather and they are great but the Designo looks kind of hard? I have a car on order with Designo now and Im having second thoughts. Thanks for any help!

2017 Mercedes E400 wagon (formerly 1995 Honda Accord EX sedan)
We have had a 2017 E400 wagon with designo leather seats since July and recently made a trip in it of 2400 miles, driving ten hours a day for almost a week. The seats were very comfortable and the heating and cooling features useful. For your information, when we visited the factory in Sindelfingen to pick up our car, it became evident to me that certain options not listed on the MB-USA website, such as cooled as well as heated seats in the second row and designo leather in other colors, were probably available if you ordered the car from the factory and asked about them specifically before the car was built. Live and learn!

So do you think the Designo leather is comfortable and has it been hard to keep clean??
Thanks!!

The wood-leather steering wheel is the best think😍
My car got 1200km on it, i can barely see any black spots, theres nothing that needs cleaning, i took those pics yesterday, i never cleaned them, you could see how good they are. The only problem are the floor mats, difficult to keep clean. Overall i like the leather alot, and especially that most car interior parts will be covered with that leather, not a fake one. I had the 2017 with normal real leather, and i could feel the differece!! Good choice
