The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is one of the world’s most iconic luxury saloons, boasting the latest in comfort, safety and convenience features.

Mercedes gave the latest generation a facelift last year, which included a lot of fresh tech for the driver and passengers to enjoy. One of them is the Energizing Comfort Control, which uses the climate control, ambient lighting and even the seats in order to improve your mood.

But helping to relax your muscles isn’t the only thing the seats in your S-Class can do. Like most other premium products, they offer heating and ventilated functions, adjustable back/lumbar support, as well as safety features – both active as well as passive.

But what does it look like underneath all that plush perforated leather? What’s Inside borrowed a Mercedes S-Class and went on to discover just that.

Aside from things you’d expect, like the ventilators and foam, you might be surprised to learn just how many air pockets there are inside. Those little things inflate to massage your back, but not until you’ve already felt how comfortable the seats are thanks to all the cushioning and padding.

So, in case you were wondering, now you know what’s inside the top Merc sedan’s seats. Or you could have just read the brochure – but that wouldn’t make it to YouTube, would it?
