What usually trips people up

Mercedes often pairs factory swivels with a short pedestal (~8.7″ / 221 mm vs ~12″ / 305 mm regular). The factory swivel adds height back. Many aftermarket low-profile swivels don't bolt to the factory short pedestal.

Do this before you buy or cut

Measure the pedestal only, then the swivel stack separately. Decide whether the problem is too high driving or too high swiveled for lounge.
