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.

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.

I thought about that but the seat needs a new cushion and the arm rests are also shot it just makes more sense to replace it plus I am thinking I want heat and massage

That was great and I got no back that's why I need suspenders because I got no ### to keep my pants up........so I need a soft seat

I’ve got no qualms in spending thousands on ride comfort, especially in my older truck.

The operator is what wears out eventually in this game.

Plus prostar seats suck anyway. From base model all the way upto the Eagle+ or whatever its called. They just slap more options on the same uncomfortable seat.
