    The good one from Sears Seating is comfy but the seat cushion wears out too soon. Seats, Inc. has a new one thats supposed to be very good. Hard to beat Bostrom. All under $800 and wide base style.

    I liek the sears elite. but they are expensive. To be honest I still think stock peterbilt seats are about as good as you can get. They are comfortble enough and last forever.I've put alot of miles in a pete seat and i'm no small boy.

    the aftermarket eats are nice and comfortable but they all seem to wear out fast. A $800 to $1000 gets real expensive when you have to replace it every year or two


    nd you couldn't give me a bostrom. bigest POS there is. at least the wide rides. 550's got one in his truck he took out of the drivers side and put in the passengers side because he couldn't it on it and I've sat in that thing for a few hours BS'n at the truck stop and it's horrible. Like sitting on a piece of plywood.

    sears is the nicest seat we deal with here out our smaller store, bostrom is nice but for the price and internals i would recommend a sears. approx 725-760 bucks nice looking 2 tone options and 5yr warranty any oe seat unless well used is going to be base priced around 1000 plus and they arent all that.

    never heard of legacy i do know that seats inc sells a model they call the legacy. which is there premium wide seat. comfort wise you cant compare to a sears but they are approx 100 bucks less/. overall just depends how picky your assand back is
