Allen I spend a few km's sitting in a so-called comfortable Mercedes seat until I tried something else ........
I couldn't believe how much more comfortable a Commodore seat was!!
Maybe check out Truck repair places like Recar etc? Sometimes they wreck write-offs & have good Bostrom etc seats to sell.

Cheaper the better Dot. I paid I think $1300 for the passenger seat from Custom Coaster Conversions. Plus delivery ..nice seat but not brand new... renewed. Not prepared to pay that again...just not worth it. Have been watching the sites but people put unreasonable prices on them..The drivers seat is very very old. The wife put an extra cushion on it so you dont get a sore bum. If were on a long haul we change over drivers every 2 hours as just not comfortable...so been looking for a while on and off

I fitted a Freightliner in to mine.
The suspension is excellent. Especially when you sit above the axle.
Just remember, it needs to be DOT/ADR approved and an engineer will have to certify the fitting.

I have Isri seats in the bus and drive a Patrol when using the camper. I get a sore backside if driving too far and have found by using an inflatable rubber donut fitted under the seat cover, with just enough air in it to soften the ride is a bonus to any seat. Around $20.00 from the chemist. I won't drive without it now. Well worth the investment.
Cheers Rob.

I have 1 of these seats available if your interested. (have used the other one)
It's out of an older Toyota HiAce 7 seater.
I have taken the arm rests off and thrown them away, also it's disassembled from the base at present, but everything is there to re-assemble it.
Has a swivel base that locks into position and factory retracting lap seat belt.
In surprisingly good condition, though there is a hole on each side where the arm rests were, I know, I know, I shouldn't have done that, but their gone now...
$100, pick up from Seaford SA.
