Comparing seat replacement for 379

I have the Bostrom Wide ride seat with serta memory foam. It has heat but its not hooked up. Also has the usual air adjustments for lumber, lower and upper back,.. arm rests on both sides of the seat. Very comfortable. I've had it for 2 yrs now. It sits low,. I dont like my seat up in the air. I paid $900 for it at Raneys in Ocala Fl.

Does that leather seat get hot and make your back sweaty? @Hurst

 

Not when I have the AC cranked up.

They cant do much in Fla. But they can #### sure get your AC working good.

I would love to hear opinions from anyone that has the minimizer seat. I'm looking at the heat and massage option. I love how the bostrom wide ride seat cushion feels with the serta memory foam, but my issue with the seat is I'm to skinny for side bulsters to actually do anything for me and I don't feel like gaining the extra pounds for the seat to fit me.

The minimize fits nice but I've heard people say the ride sucks and you can't adjust the firmness of the ride that well.

I'm not ready to drop $2000 on a seat that I'm going be uncomfortable in, so anyone that has experience with a minimizer please tell me what you think of it.

 

I personally I never figured out anyone would pay 2k for a seat. I'm satisfied just with having air, and the bonus I have on my seat is, arm rest, lumbar support and a couple of other small features, price, $350.00, brand, National. But I'm old school and not spoiled. Don't need all that mombo jumbo. If you get to comfortable you will end up falling asleep behind the wheel.

 

Wide ride seat is for 250lb + guys IMO. I am 220lb and it did not feel comfortable, too loose. Regular Bostrom felt perfect.
I also could not justify spending $2k on a seat. Picked up a Legacy Silver couple of weeks ago, local Freightliner has them on sale $509 for cloth and $660 for leather one. Much much better than stock Volvo seat

 

That's my thoughts too. I mean you need a comfortable seat since you're sitting in it all day long but I have limits. I'm in the market for a new seat too and glad one of these threads got started again. I know you can save money by opting for cloth over leather. I never really cared for leather seats in a vehicle anyway.

 

My opinion is that if I spend all my time in a seat that doesn't at least feel half decent on my tail bone, I'll end up being one of those guys that walks hunched over all the time from back problems. So I'm willing to spend a little coin to avoid that.

I won't spend a fortune on a seat, but I got my Legacy Silver a couple months ago in Amarillo for around $750. It's worth it to me.

FYI, I'm 5'9 and 175, and the Legacy fits me real well. My boss is bigger than me and he doesn't care for them. Really need to sit in some seats yourself before you decide.
