Accuride's New Bostrom Pro Ride Seat

To design the most comfortable and ergonomic seat, Accuride performed pressure point mapping.
Accuride Corporation has designed the new Bostrom Pro Ride seat with driver comfort, durability, serviceability and style in mind.
"The Bostrom Pro Ride was designed to address drivers' needs as identified during extensive ergonomic testing and supported by subsequent consumer comfort evaluations," said Rick Schomer, Accuride's senior vice president of marketing and sales. "We engineered an entirely new seat to include enhancements ranging from the basic frame and suspension, selection of fabric, and length of the armrest, to the positioning and types of controls; demonstrating we understand every feature of a seat that impacts a driver's comfort."
Bostrom Pro Ride's new foam design includes contours and enhancements in foam density for higher comfort.
"We conducted pressure point mapping which helped us identify areas to increase both lower and mid back support so that the pressure on a driver's shoulders would be decreased," said Schomer. "Through the mapping we were also able to confirm that the new lower and wider suspension decreases high pressure points on the seat bottom while offering the same mounting pattern and hip point our customers expect from the current suspension. At the same time, the suspension provides greater stability with the increased footprint."
The Bostrom Pro Ride is available in three option levels, including a new Titan cloth, air lumbar, bellows, swivel, and dual armrests with an improved larger adjustment wheel.
Accuride has made standard on all options a new switch design that is mounted in a profiled side shield to ease seat adjustment and foster an ergonomic entry.
