Anyone know about National seating?
Truckers
Backcycler Benefits:
Reduces muscle & ligament strain
Allows alternating muscles & ligaments to share strain/rest cycles
Disc pressure is reduced as well as discs against nerves
Improves blood/disc circulation
The latest ergonomic design provides maximum comfort and support
High profile Captains Chair features body contoured cushions.
23 degree backrest recline function
Re-engineered air suspension is smoother and more durable
Seat back and seat cushion incorporates power bolsters
Air lumbar support features 3 air chambers that are individually adjustable to provide orthopedic quality lower back support
Improved shoulder support
Ergonomic placement of driver friendly controls
6-Way front seat cushion tilt & height adjuster
Fore/Aft isolator with lockout

The conturing looks nice for a narrow butt guy like myself.

There is no such thing as a "BACK-HAUL" everything has a start and stop point, If it needs to be moved then it is a load, period. Insurance, tires, fuel,etc... aren't any cheaper heading towards your home than they are going away. BACKHAUL is BS.

The wide rides start out ok, but after you break em in there is 0 support, your back will hurt, bostrom or sears.

So it's all about holding your ### tight for proper support, narrow is better

Big boys and their skinny trucks! Whats up with that?


I suppose if I can't find a retailer nearby some of the dealerships probably have some display seats?
