GLE Uncomfortable hard MB-TEX Seats

Hi,

I feel the MB-Tex GLE seats are very uncomfortable. The seats feel very hard and also for some reason I don't like the ergonomics of these seats.

The length the seats are also less, my knees are not resting on the seat.

Do you guys also feel similar and any suggestions to reduce this uncomfort?

My wife swears her seats in her E with the MB text are shorter too under the thigh. She says mine in the GLE, with leather, are longer and easier on the back of her legs. I can tell a little difference in the length but the leather seats are a little softer. I think this is what makes the difference Until.......you sit your rump in a MB with Nappa leather and holy crap there is a difference there!

I agree; compared to my previous ML350, the GLE seats are stiff, too high and uncomfortable. MB should outsource their designs to Japan.

Since i want the seat base as soft as possible,I don't inflate the air bladder in it at all.

I think my reasoning is right on that.
