Hi Marilyn, yes I’m really pleased with it.
I just scoured eBay for w447 seats until a set of Lugano leather ones came up. They usually come as a 3 set bench (with the third seat being detachable) but as the MP only has two rails (unless you already have a third rail from the rare early optional single 5th seat) and also less width than the standard w447 due to the kitchen, you can only use the double seat and have to leave the third one out. Luckily the centres on the runners are the same though.
I was fortunate enough to find a double bench on its own without the third seat though so was circa £800 in the end. There’s a set of 3 on eBay now but they are usually >£1000.
The seats are made of high-quality leather and have adjustable headrests and seats for maximum comfort. The seats are in black colour and are detachable, making them easy to clean and maintain. They are perfect for anyone looking for a comfortable and stylish seating option for their car.

Worth pointing out that you also need a pair of roller runners to go in the floor rails to receive the seat. These are available from Mercedes, but I managed to find a pair from a breaker for £50.
Fitting wise, to avoid having to take the extremely heavy existing rear seat fully out I loosened all the seat rail bolts (another random Mercedes fitting needing a T47 torx bit!!) and raised the rail in the boot sliding in the new runners from the rear.
I Then got a friend to help lift the existing seat backwards onto the new set of runners leaving the original runners to receive the new seat.
I did try installing them facing backwards to start with as the runners will let you do that but you don’t have enough leg room unless you take out the rear shelf bed extension.
In this configuration plenty of leg room still all round and very comfortable without the additional faff of removing the bed extension.
