Two years ago, I bought my own tractor seat. Spent over a thousand dollars what with installation and all, but it was worth every dime.RussianBearTruckeR Thanks this. -

Probably the perfect seat, but more than I'm willing to pay. -

I wanna try one.. I drive long distances some times.

Gee, call it specially for the trucking industry and raise the price. So google "seat cushion doctor leonard" and see a gel cushion for half the price. Do you really think this is half as effective or is the cushion you describe worth twice the price?

A). The first one I bought bounced thru oilfield to remote drilling sites four years.
B). Bought the very largest one after the above. Removed covers. Could tell no difference in size or shape.
C). Also bought the lumbar cushion. That with the seat cushion is like moving from spring ride to air ride.
I use INDUSTRIAL VELCRO in longitudinal strips to affix to seat face. Longest in any truck is 90k miles.
I also use a sheepskin overlay.
Good seat or bad, this improves it.
The old cushion I keep at home. I use it on a new leather couch. I don’t ever need to shift position to be comfortable.
D). When I figure I can afford it I’ll buy the Queen Mattress. I’m told that sheet fabric type & construction matters (stretch).
I had to get out of tanker because I was getting beat up too much. Last two jobs had bad-spec tractors. But cushion kept me going till I found a new Cadillac to ride around in.
The truck driver health problem is fatigue. Mostly induced by vibration. It’s not diet, exercise, etc (those are secondary, not primary).
The only thing better than the seat pair would be a vibration-cancelling seat.
Either way, PURPLE takes the cracks out of the road.
