E-class contour seats with designo nappa leather
I'm very interested in purchasing a 2018 E-class sedan with contour seats and designo nappa leather. To-date, after a 10 month search, I have not been able to find a dealer in NJ that has a car with this seat configuration so that I can see/feel/test it first-hand. All say that this is a "limited order" uncommon option. Due to my wife's severe back surgery, I'm looking to purchase a safe and comfortable car for long-distance travel. I believe the 2018 E-class suits our needs, but I need to see/touch/test the front seats before finalizing my decision. With this said, any feedback, you can provide regarding the comfort of these seats, particularly the front-passenger seat (for my wife), would be greatly appreciated.

2018 E300
We have the active contour with massage but leather upgrade not nappa. The Napa is too delicate. The car rivals our 2008 Lexus ES350 we traded in, and that had comfortable seats. Have you looked at the Volvo XC90? The massage/nappa seats in the new 2018 XC90 was very comfy. If you plan on ordering a E300 with P3 package you're in for a long wait. The dual screens are on backorder.

I currently have contour with massage seats but with AMG nappa leather. I have tried the standard leather on a 2018 E400 and I felt that the cushion for the AMG nappa leather was a little harder than the standard one. the nappa leather does feel softer but Its not as durable than the standard leather I guess.
