Question Executive Rear Seat Package - Middle seat comfort?

I noticed in several pictures of vehicles with the Executive Rear Seat Package that the bottom cushion for the middle seat seems to have an elevated bump towards the back.

For those of you with this package, does that make the middle seat less comfortable to sit in?

Thanks!!

I've never sat in mine but the console extends out quite a bit so I can't imagine any adult would be comfortable there.

Before I bought my GLS, I sat in that center seat out of curiosity to determine if it was comfortable enough for my 14 year old for a short drive.
Nope!

In my opinion, that spot is perfect for a baby seat, or a booster seat, or for a young kid who is barely big enough not to need a booster seat.
None of my three kids would sit in that center seat as they would rather go to the third row.
It is precisely the reason I opted for the captains chairs, which did not entail additional cost.

With the standard rear bench, the front console does not extend as far into the rear seat leg space as it does with the Executive Rear Seat Package or the Captains Chairs.
