I need a new seat

I spent my life with these.

For me physically it's been very adequate. Not the best or the most reclining (I suspect somewhere they deliberately refuse to allow a seat to really recline....)

Bostrom Seating

 

Screw all that, go old school...



... I do hope everyone has their Sarcastometer 2.0...

... I also am in the market for a new seat...

... subscribed.

 

Sears Atlas 2, came in the truck when I bought it. It is comfortable but after 3 years I am starting to pre-shop for it's replacement. The next will have a fan blowing up my backside. Not sure which one I will go with. I will replace the seat before it is really due so I can have a cool breeze on those hot days.

 

I think Knoudler is a darn good seat myself. It was firm, provided good support, I didn’t think it was hard as a rock. I think if you had a chance to sit in one, that would be the best way to decide. Last time I saw a Knoudler was at the 75 chrome shop in Florida. Kinda stinks there aren’t many places to got to try seats out.

 

I have always liked the National seats. Hey are firm but supportive.

We had a pair of those Serta wide ride seats in a company truck. I was very disappointed in them. Foam was junk in 6 months. 0 support. They are in the barn because no one likes them. Leather is still good but foam is gone.

 

Bostrom is the go to for most O/O's from what I can tell. They are very, very pricey though. My company put a Seats Inc. Legacy Silver in my truck and I'm very satisfied with the cushion and the ride. It's soft, but not like a giant sofa, and the airbag provides a lot of support for my ample weight.

It's kind of "flat" on the bum/thigh side of the seat, the back has good bolstering and is adjustable almost all the way to completely flat. If I were to buy one, I would not be dissatisfied with it.

I'm not a big fan of seats with the raised section at the front of the sitting portion (i.e. the stock Peterbilt cloth seat), as I have short legs, and really like how "flat" it is.

 

I agree, the legacy silver is a nice seat at a decent cost.
