Comfortable truck seats that include a wide array of options, as well as safety features, are essential to keeping truck drivers alert to their surroundings when driving 8+ hours a day. From commercial truck seat cushions with added padding to ultra-high seat backs for added lumbar support, having a well-designed truck seat helps keep truck drivers focused and alert when driving.
Safety is equally important. When long haul truck drivers have to constantly move around because of a sore back or bottom or tight muscles, it takes their focus off the road. When truck drivers are uncomfortable while driving, they cannot give their full attention to the road.
What’s New in Truck Seats?
- Wider Seats: Bostrom and other truck seat manufacturers have rolled out wider seats to provide more comfort. Bostrom offers different options with their Wide Ride seats, including Core and Wide Ride + Serta®.
- Cooled Semi Truck Seats: One feature found in upscale and high-end vehicles has made its way to truck seats: cooled semi-truck seats. This feature is often found on seats that also offer heating. No longer do truck drivers have to feel hot, sticky, and sweaty on hot summer days when they upgrade to a truck seat with cooling.
- Truck Seat Memory Settings: Many new truck seats are starting to offer memory settings. The seat will automatically move to an existing position when the truck is parked; when climbing into the seat, it automatically returns to the preset driving settings.
- Memory Foam: Memory foam is not just for truck mattresses anymore. Many seat manufacturers are switching out existing materials and adding memory foam to seat cushions and backs for better support and improved comfort.
- Ergonomic Design: Modern semi-truck seats incorporate an ergonomic design that promotes proper posture and reduces fatigue during long-haul drives. The seat contours follow the natural curves of the body for optimal comfort.
- Adjustable Lumbar Support: These seats come with adjustable lumbar support systems that allow drivers to customize the level of lower back support they need. This feature helps alleviate stress on the spine and provides added support and comfort to alleviate pain.
- Air Suspension System: One popular choice in high-quality semi-truck seats is air suspension systems that use compressed air to adjust seat height, cushioning firmness, and shock absorption according to road conditions or driver preference.
- Heating and Cooling Functionality: Some premium truck seats are designed with built-in heating and cooling functionality. Drivers can control temperature settings through integrated controls to maintain a comfortable seating experience during cold and warm weather conditions.
- Massage Functions: Certain comfortable truck seat models provide massage functions, targeting key areas like the lower back or thighs using vibrating mechanisms for added relaxation during extended trips.
- Multiple Adjustments: The best semi-truck seats offer a wide range of adjustments, including recline angle adjustment, armrest positioning, headrest movement (height/tilt), as well as vertical weight distribution control for personalized fit.
