it is all relative. a seat in a newer tractor is usually comfortable. i drive a ch mack 2000 model w/400,000 on it, seat is pretty good. just got out of a 91 mack and it would kill ya after 10 hr. day. man i am glad to get my truck back. those punishment trucks will make ya thankful.

Ohh god how I miss my ch 613, doubled framed and just awsome, although a day cab we only ran local 500 mi max.. after we went out of bussiness I started working for a regional company, they put me in a columbia, it is ok I mean it is new so it's nice and well appointed, but I run heavy allways, and no comparison to my mack, it just feels cheesy and like it iss going to snap, if not loaded perfect then the ride is a crap shoot. The mack was a caddy and had the 460, since it was my familys company it HAD NO GOV and if You wound it up hang on, would pull hills for a hobby, the columbia has a mercedes 460 or cummins whatever same thing but it is held back, It feels like it would be a half decent plant, if it was uncorked even a bit, Oh sorry the seat in the columbia is a Bostrom and is awsome I will say that much, I bought one of thoes head supports made of pleather and quite plush, and oh man what a seat, I actually nap in this seat, and where it is a sleeper it will recline all the way back, it is an easy 15 hour seat no problem, i will repost the exact model, only problem it has a slow leak and I have to reinflate every 15 min or so, Imagine that, I havent fixed it yet for some reason, I think I like that it keeps me needing to do something while I am driving.

Most truck seats have from 3 to 9 adjustments.
Getting them adjusted right for your height, weight, and comfort,
is KEY to staying in the seat for all the hours we have to drive.
Plus in a truck (compared to an auto) you sit in a more up-right position, and have room to move around, stretch, and change positions.
Most truck seats a very comfortable.
