Edit: After posting this (long) bit of information, I realized that it was in the RV-4 section. I'm sorry about that because we don't offer RV-4 seats at this time. Please consider one of our competitors for RV-4 seats:
Oregon Aero
Flight Line Interiors
Cleaveland Tool
Sorry about that. Still not awake today I guess. I hate it when I do that

Hi Everyone,
Since it wouldn't be appropriate for me to share my opinion on who makes the most comfortable seats, I'll leave that to others that may be less biased
.
I just wanted to point out a few things that are often overlooked when people consider our seats. The biggest thing is that if you've sat in only one of our seats, you haven't experienced all of our seating options. Back in about 2004 or 2005 we switched from having 1 seat style to having 2. We call them the "Aviator" and the "Sportsman".
Also, if you prefer a firmer seat, we can use the "all visco" option with means that instead of a combination of standard open cell foam and visco elastic foam (our standard configuration), we use visco elastic foam for the whole seat (similar to another popular manufacturer's seats). This will however add about 4-5 lbs for a set of seats depending on seat model and RV model (This is the case for any company that uses this approach), but this may be the best option for some.
We can also adjust your seating height to what ever you prefer with our seat wedges.
Here is a quick comparison of Aviator and Sportsman seats:
Aviator
- Our top of the line most comfortable seat
- 3 types of visco elastic foam in cushion and backrest
- Contoured foam parts instead of foam "blocks"
- Mechanical listing system as used in automotive seats
- Custom made enclosed frame like automotive seats (frame not visible)
- Frame is almost identical weight to stock frame.
- Adjustable lumbar on back of seat Slides on internal tracks (except RV-8)
- Rear pocket integrated into seat upholstery
Sportsman
- Similar cost to other "Traditional Style" RV seats
- Single 1" layer of visco elastic foam in cushion only
- Contoured foam parts instead of foam "blocks"
- Stock Van's seat frame is used
- Adjustable lumbar slides on internal tracks (cushion needs to be removed to adjust)
Hope this information is helpful, and okay to add to the thread. Feel free to contact us with any questions you might have.
Best regards,
