    Minimizer. It's a rebranded ISRI seat with adjustments you wouldn't believe, you can set it up to be a floating hammock while you drive with fore aft movement and air suspension that maintains the same set height, when you change elevation or get fatter very quickly, with a one button air dump that drops it immediately, and the same button brings it back up to the preset height, that never changes. The top half of the back adjusts independent of the lower half, you can send the top half back and it's a half back seat, good for a little movement. the seat cushion adjusts to actually be FLAT, with de earth, and can be very short to where you're sitting on the edge of a super bouncy leather bench, or a rock solid leather bench. Or it can be long, if your thighs need moral support. Once you have it set, the whole seat can pivot back, from the base, to drop you into a nap bucket, while you turn on the heater.

    The best part is the massager. It's like 20 pissed off Asian ex girlfriends trying to hurt you, but they have tiny weak hands. it's so strong on high, you might bust a nut before you get used to it. Between the heater and massage, fatigue doesn't exist any more. I laugh out loud when I sit down in the morning, because the seat belongs in a Lamborghini.

    And the arm rests are made for actual people, not for a F\~¤%g T-rex. They are low enough at the pivot that my shoulders can stay in their sockets when they are placed on and removed from their place of rest.

    If your seat is still in good condition except for the seat foam being worn out, you can order a new cushion bottom or seat foam from the International Stealership or from the manufacturer of the seat and have it repaired for a fraction of the cost of a new seat.

    +3 on the legacy silver. I'm not a very big guy so this seat works good for me.

    I just bought another seat a couple of months ago. Legacy silver in black leather got it from MHC Kenworth only $700 and it's a good comfortable seat.

    I need a seat that supports my long legs. I'm not a big guy at all, but I don't like narrow seats either.

    Im gonna check out a couple of the ones posted.

    Another vote for Legacy Silver if you are on the budget, you can get it for about $550-650 from Freightliner dealers.
    If you have about $1700 to spend, the seat in the newest Volvo trucks is really nice.
    Bostrom wide ride is only for people with huge #####. I am 230lb and felt lost in it, it's too wide

    These are the “Atlas II” - Sears. About $700 each. I concur with the butt being a little hard, but I’m usually s bit dehydrated and it’s probably cramping that is the issue.

    These seats have plenty of adjustments for me. I’m 5’10 - 200 lbs. Pete’s have small cabs, so these have the foldaway armrests.

    I agree with @larry2903 - Legacy Silver is a comfortable seat that wont break the bank. I got 2 new ones for my W9 for what would have been the cost of ONE Bostrom...
