Here's What's Inside One Of Mercedes' Complex Massage Seats
YouTube channel 'What's Inside' hacked apart the seat from a Mercedes S-Class to give us a fascinating insight into how these complex chairs work
Modern luxury car seats are fantastically complicated. From hot stone massage functions to air conditioning units, there’s a lot going on under all that fine nappa leather. And if you’ve ever wondered what all that stuff looks like, you’re in luck: YouTube channel ‘What’s Inside’ decided to see, erm, what’s inside.
It feels a little wrong to see a Mercedes S-Class seat hacked to pieces like this, but it’s fascinating to see how it all works. Plus, it also helps you understand why today’s luxury cars are so damn heavy…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

It’s a bit sad to see such a seat being destroyed…
Im so sad to see auch things inside of cars, a massage seat belongs in your living room in front of the tv, not in a car, a place you need to be concentrated on the road…
there’s a place and time for everything, enjoy a drive and sta concentrate when in a car, and better take massage time with your partner (which often leads to riding other things than cars), voila
He just gave the owner of the merc a reason to swap those for bucket seat and proceed a big weighg reduction
Yes of course I would change my S class’s amazing seats for some recaros from a Ford Mustang.
As long as it feels good on my ass i dont really care
They have come far. The seats in my Mercedes are filled with horse hair.
I am not kidding.
Just… why? And how did you find out it was horse hair?
BMW used to do that too. Which Mercedes do you drive?
