    I love my Legacy wide low pro....ultra leather. Was 500 out the door at the Pete dealer here in Charlotte.
    No way i would pay a grand for a Bostrom seat!

    last year i got so tired of my back hurting on my old beat up truck seat, I went to a truck dealer that had a large display of different truck seats. I sat in every single one of them didn't look at the prices or even take price into consideration picked the most comfortable seat i could find and handed them the credit card. my choice ended up being the legacy silver in black leather under 800 out the door.

    the first few days in the truck with the new seat i kept looking for the remote to find something more interesting to watch

    I just installed that seat in my truck about one month ago. It's everything it's advertised to be. I bought it from four states. My seat is the lo-pro because the deflated height of the standard height seat was higher than where I normally ride, so check the heights, not all seats are the same.
    I love the seat. The back-cycler is great. Just my 2 cents.

    Can't go wrong with a Bostrom. Best seat I ever bought was their wide glide low mount seat.

    i would go somewhere that has a bunch of seats on display and put your ### in them. get whatever feels the best to you after all you will be spending a lot of time in that seat. you may find a less expensive seat that feels better to you or you may find the bostrom to be the best fit for you but. i would go for comfort first price second

    Thank you guys very good reviews.

    I sat on one at the show room and like it, but you know few seconds on a brand new seat is not the same as when you've been using it for at least a month, so that's why I come here.

    I like the Bostrom for all the new features, but also I am a fan of scissor type suspension on a seat more than parallelogram, so that's a plus on the Bostrom, also I hate to spend money, but I spend more time on that seat through the day than anything else including sleeping, so a grand every few years is not really bad, thanks for all the comments and opinions and keep them coming.
     
    Ezrider_48501 Thanks this.
