Reclining rear seat

My daughter noticed that the rear seat base on the passenger side is much firmer than on the driver's side. Anyone else notice that?

I got rear reclining seats and they're fine and soft. Mine are heated too.
Try and feel anything under the seat.

The only thing I’ve noticed is that they are quite rough and creased.. not sure why that is. I have a white ivory leather interior

The seats themselves are incredible to sit on but when I run my hand over the base they’re just a little rough/creased and I think it could be from the sun.

Mine are the same as the OP’s I think we have the upgraded seats as standard here in the uk. They have the quilted pattern and they’re ivory white. Not too sure of the name. They are the ones in this link below...

Gotch same as mine just different color i have no idea I just went to garage and literally rubbed all over the seats from base to top felt no bar running across I know it sounds silly but I wonder if there made different for different markets ?? Or maybe a few bad apples in the bunch that were produced cause I have read somewhere that a few people were complaining about wrinkles and cracks in there upholstery which I can't say I've ever had in any of my 7 series and I'm a big boy 6'4 250 lbs and I'm on number 4 !! Had 2 F02's and I currently have 2 g12's and a F15 which does have some signs wear in and tear but that's the kids being kids in the rear seat there not allowed in the either 7 series unless we're takin a road trip

Mine have no wear or creases. It’s just one side seems a lot firmer than the other - like one side has something solid underneath that the other side doesn’t.

I wonder if it could be the lumbar support or something if you have that in the back. Try resetting the seats to normal position with the chair button in the rear armrest

Does it have massage rear seats? Sounds a bit like how the base feels when you select full body activation.

Other than that, I agree with everyone else, both seats should feel the same and are super comfy, better than the front seats in a lot of cars. My kids are spoilt, cruising along with the seat nicely reclined. getting a massage watching while watching a DVD!
