E280 Saloon 1998 This has been around the block a few times (135 K) but everything looks "as new" including the leather seats . However there is a depression in the drivers seat made by previous heavyweight owner. I find that on almost any journey I have considerable discomfort due to the lack of "padding". Is it possible to get the seat renovated by specialists?. I live in the South West of the UK and would appreciate any info.,hopefully relevant to this area.

I feel the same in the '01 E class... for a long trip, it leaves my ass sored... Anything can be done... adding more cushions or having a pro do this for you. The easiest way is to add a sheepskin cover and slip in a memory foam for the seat bottom.
You guys needs to eat some potatoes and wurst so you too will have a big fat ass to soak up the bumps!
Seriously, I agree; the seats in our '97 E320 are too hard. I notice the S class is also very hard.
Any auto upholstery shop can restore the seat to new for a fairly reasonable cost. Most people kick themselves (emotionally) after they have the seat rebuilt, for not doing it sooner! P
info.,hopefully
Thanks all for your useful input. Glad to learn that I am not alone with this annoyance
