Lower seat foam worn out??

Picked up a 07 s550 with heated/cooled dynamic seats, 40000 miles. The lower cushion just kills my legs..? It's like the center of the seat is blown out.

I'm 6'2" 300 lbs. I test drove a new one and thought the seats were very comfortable!

I really thought that something in the frame was broke and it would be covered under warranty. Well there is nothing broke in the frame. Not really much there to break. Dealer tells me the foam is broke down?? (no warranty)

Any one ever dealt with or heard of such a thing?

Have you tried adjusting the air bladders in the seats through the COMMAND system?

The lower seat only has the bottom side hip bolsters. The work fine. Once there deflated all the way I can still feel the frame they are attached to. There is no adjustment for the center of the lower seat. Just moving the compleat seat up and down.
