I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz GLS for over a year now, and the rear seats are indeed quite flexible. They can be adjusted to a very reclined angle, almost to a semi-lying position, but to say they can lie completely flat? That's not really possible. The seats are usually electrically adjustable, and you can tilt them back quite a bit, which is great for resting during long trips. However, be careful not to adjust them too much while the car is moving, as it might affect the effectiveness of the seat belts. If you really want a flat space, you can fold down the rear seats, turning the entire trunk area into a flat surface, perfect for luggage or a quick lie-down. I love doing this when I go camping.

I use the GLS to take my kids to school and such. The rear seats are spacious and comfortable, with the ability to slide forward and backward as well as adjust the angle. When reclined to the maximum, the kids sleep soundly, almost like lying on a sofa, but achieving a completely flat position isn't very practical. The seat design is primarily for sitting, not specifically for use as a bed. Making it completely flat would require some effort—folding the seats. For everyday driving, it's advisable not to overly pursue a fully reclined position. Maintaining a reasonable incline ensures both comfort and safety, especially when traveling with kids, as this allows the seat belts to function effectively.
