Purpose and fitment

The presented backrest with headrest is designed as a component for the rear left part of the seat, ensuring a precise fit into the seat structure and body mounting points. Its placement in the rear cabin area allows for a comfortable and stable passenger position, and the properly contoured backrest works in harmony with factory seat belts and other seat segments.

The black upholstery color facilitates integration with most Mercedes interior configurations, especially in vehicles with a subdued, elegant style. As a result, this element works well both as a replacement for a damaged backrest and for partial renovation of the rear seat.

Construction and materials

The backrest is made from a combination of imitation leather and textile material, providing an optimal balance between aesthetics and functionality. The imitation leather gives the interior a more prestigious character and makes the surface easier to keep clean, while the fabric sections improve breathability and thermal comfort during longer journeys.

The integrated headrest provides stable head support, which improves seating ergonomics and reduces neck fatigue. The backrest construction is prepared for compatibility with factory body mounts, facilitating installation and maintaining the correct geometry of the seats in the rear cabin.

Benefits of using an original component

Choosing an original seat backrest with headrest from the Seats and benches group allows you to maintain the stylistic and functional consistency of your Mercedes interior. The proper fit of the shape, foam firmness, and headrest height translates into predictable performance during daily use.

The item is sourced from disassembly, which in practice means a favorable cost-to-quality ratio while maintaining factory specifications. This is a good solution for users who want to restore the full functionality of the rear seat without the need to invest in a complete new set of seats.

Installation zone and rear seat ergonomics

Its placement in the rear left part of the vehicle means the backrest with headrest has a significant impact on the comfort of the passenger sitting behind the driver. The proper contouring and height of the headrest support correct body posture, which is especially noticeable during longer trips. The black color scheme helps minimize the visibility of minor dirt and blends well with other upholstery elements and door panels.
