The harness covers it used to come with weren't "comfort" covers. They were sort of like HUGS, only... worse. They would get tangled in the mechanism on the back of the seat, and they would cut into my daughter's neck something awful. They were added when the seat went from a 50 lb to a 65 lb rating, to reduce forward excursion if I understand correctly, in order to pass the higher weight rating. They were discontinued toward the beginning or middle of 2011 when some modifications to the seat itself were made to make them unnecessary. As far as I know, they've never come with comfort pads on the harness.
