Uncomfortable 2nd row middle seatback

Anyone else find the seat back on the second row middle seat is as hard as wood because of the lack of sufficient padding over the cup holders in the armrest? Can't sit there for more than a minute.

I don't think that it is that bad. Will ask my sister next time she is sitting back there. She is the only one who volunteers to sit between my kids

This is one thing that I miss from my 99ML320. It has three equally wide seats in the middle row 1/3 size configurations. The middle seat was a full seat like the single seat in a 40/60 configurations that are more prevalent now. The changed that after a few model years.

it's because of the arm rest....You could have a bench like 2nd row seat like the G class. Then you dont have an armrest making the whole 2nd row uncomfortable!
