    Don't get it with the Serta Foam if you do get it!

    I also need a new seat. I’m afraid of picking the wrong one and being pissed off about it.

    Absolutely do not buy a bostrom seat. I ordered one online couple months ago and it arrived 2 weeks ago.

    I went to install it and it leaked air immediately. Opened up the cover and sure enough the seat came with two air bags with holes. Two of the seat airbags don’t work either and must be the switch. Only thing the entire seat does is air up 1 bag in the right seat and go up and down. Also you can feel the frame bar on the seat pad.

    I’m fighting to get my money back and it’s not looking good.
     
    Opendeckin Thanks this.

    The legacy series at all the dealers are pretty decent (though i am skinny, it feels way too wide)

    Buying anything other than a Bose Ride seat, and you're likely to be disappointed.

    National seat makes a few decent models.

    Legacy and Bathroom are kinda squishy.

    Best idea is to sit in the seats on the floor of a larger truck dealership or custom parts shop. Figure out which one you prefer.
     
    Flat Earth Trucker and Siinman Thank this.

    I’ve always like the Bostrom ProRide seats. The WideRide never fit my butt good
