Which seats do I have?

I can't tell which seat I have. They look like a cross between the sport seat (cushy bolsters) and the comfort seats (huge headrests). I am thinking about keeping an eye out for new front seats as my drivers side seat has the dreaded burning heated seat issue and I don't know which type of seat I have.

My Seats (wow my x looks dirty, maybe cause I never drive it and don't notice it anymore)

Those are comfort seats in Dakota leather (since you have a 3.0 or 4.4 I presume) mostly you see them in Nappa leather from the iS models

Those are the standard seat. Sport seats have a sliding bolster that makes the seat bottom longer to provide thigh support, and the M gets side bolsters that wrap your ribs so you do not slide sideways when you turn.

The standard seats don't have the upper articulating back..nor the wide headrests with the front lip. The seats in question are comfort seats as the others mentioned.

The standard seats have 8-way seat movements (count the arrows on the seat buttons)...& could come with optional 4-way lumbar option..for a total of 12-way seats.

The sport seats have the 2-way extending thigh support..and the comfort seats have 16-way movement (4-way lumbar, 2-way articulating upper back, 2-way electric headrest, and 8-way regular seat movement).

Also, the standard/regular, sport, and comfort seat's headrest each has it's own design. So, one can actually tell which seat is which without looking at the buttons or the entire seat if one is familiar with what the headrests look like.
