    Opps I found an old thread on this. Yep you are correct 6000 installed. Look at all of the benefits. Drivers spend their life in their seat so per hour over 5 years wouldn't be much.

    Wife and I spent 4000 on a themporpedic bed best money ever spent.

    I'm in the market for one, an idea of price ? also, does it rotate 180 degrees ? I have an International and am rather fond of the rotating seat.

    You only spent 4K on a bed at home. My wife and I spent 18K for a bedroom suite. You spend 8 hrs a day in a bed and maybe 1 in a car but then spend 25K on a car. Peterbilt seats are good enough for my TB.

    It is not even heated and cooled for that kind of money. Spent $900 for Prime Seatings top of the line seat that is leather and has heat and cooling in the seat that I find very comfortable. Lot's of adjustments too.
