    Anyone know where I can buy a new truck seat? The one in my Volvo is awful and the company told me to find somewhere that sells seats.

    Can anyone recommend me a seat or places that sell em? Minimizer used to sell seats but they don't anymore.

    Most if not all dealerships seem to have a bunch of seats in there to try.
    Don’t really like the Volvo seats either.

    Ive always chosen National seat, its basic high back dual arm rests. Its comfy. Ive had a few as i dont like the factory seat used in Freightliners,,,too wide, designed for fat boys and the fabric is junk

    Isringhausen has a heated/cooled seat I'm interested in but I only know of one dealer and it's near NYC in an area I never go to. It's a bargain compared to other heated/cooled seats. Why heated/cooled? I could care less about a heated seat but I want a cooled one. If you've ever had these in a car you don't want to go back, at least if you live in the south like me.

    I talked to a friend who worked for National Seating for a long time and he said Isringhausen is an old name in seats, just not well known. They are German so probably very well made.

    As mentioned, most truck dealers have some on display. Many of the parts stores and trailer dealers have some also.

    Thanks for the responses guys. I'll hit up some dealers and see if they have any I can try out. I can't lie though the cooled seats seem super tempting
     
    D.Tibbitt Thanks this.

    If you want a custom seat and have a little cash to spend, I had a buddie who bought one of these. Said it was incredible.

    I’ve always heard Legacy seats are good seats but can be $$$$ depending on what you buy

    Legacy Lo is what I put in my past Volvo. Get the adapter plate and adjustable seat base and it’ll bolt straight in. I’d strongly suggest buying their vinyl/pleather/whatever it’s called material. It can easily be cleaned, feels nice, will never get funky like cloth, and is durable. I put nearly 400K miles on mine, before selling it to a Pete owner who called 2wks later, raving how good of a seat it was.
     
    D.Tibbitt Thanks this.
