SEATS

Seats For Peterbilt Trucks

The driver's seat is where a long-haul operator spends the majority of their working life — and a worn, broken, or inadequately supportive seat is a real ergonomic and health issue for drivers logging 500+ miles per day. Modern air-ride suspension seats with adjustable lumbar, bolster, and height settings significantly reduce fatigue and lower back strain on long runs. We carry replacement driver and passenger seats for Peterbilt trucks from leading manufacturers including National Seating, Sears Seating, and Bostrom, in day cab and sleeper configurations.

Frequently asked questions about seats

What air-ride seat brands are most common in Peterbilt trucks?

National Seating (now part of Commercial Vehicle Group), Sears Seating, and Bostrom are the three most common OEM seat suppliers for Peterbilt trucks. Each offers a range of suspension types, cushion profiles, and adjustment features. National's 240-Series and Sears's Comfort Air are popular replacements in the Peterbilt market. When sourcing a replacement, verify the mounting pattern and suspension type match the original — air-ride and mechanical suspension seats use different floor mounting configurations on some Peterbilt models.

How do I know when a truck seat needs to be replaced versus repaired?

Air-ride seats with a failed air bladder or leaking air valve can often be repaired with a replacement bladder kit at modest cost. Foam cushions that have completely flattened, structural cracks in the seat frame, or a broken suspension mechanism that's beyond adjustment typically indicate a seat that's reached end of life. A seat that no longer provides adequate support — one where the driver feels the hard base of the cushion through the foam — is past its useful service life and should be replaced regardless of outward appearance.

Are there ergonomic considerations when choosing a replacement seat for a Peterbilt?

Yes — seat selection significantly affects driver fatigue and long-term musculoskeletal health. Key features to prioritize include adjustable lumbar support, seat tilt, backrest angle, and suspension stroke appropriate for the driver's weight. Heavier drivers need seats with higher suspension weight ratings and firmer cushion density; lighter drivers may find heavy-duty seats too stiff. For drivers with existing back issues, seats with active lumbar and thigh support adjustment offer meaningful improvement over basic models.
