Atom 4 seats...

[Trigger]

Ok so I haven't ever been that comfortable in the Nomad seats - I did have a very brief sit in the Atom 4 and really liked the seats. Now they are standard fit on the Nomads and I thought I might change - I just wondered if anybody had compared them ? I struggle with lumbar supprt mainly and I try and use a cushion (Thanks Karl) but would rather not have to. I never had an issue with the old Atom bench except it being quite hard after a few hrs.

Any views appreciated.

I really struggle with the seats in the Nomad. I'm just too, er, skinny! Hope they're not the ones being used in the 4. I'll check that.

Tillett race seats are also fine - particularly the B6 ones

Lots of support for skinny and tall people. You get zero buttock movement ;-)

Yeah, I know, I've had them. But they are "pretty" expensive & scratch v easily.

We'll see.

Yeah which is why I may change !

I have the Atom 4 seats in my (not so new and shiny - thanks Karl!) Nomad. If you are coming to the May 19 breakfast meet or the MSG then you are welcome to swap one into your Nomad to give it a try. I have a dodgy lower back and they haven't caused any problems yet, although there's no real lumbar support - but overall happy with them.

I hopped into Spoony's seats earlier (cheers [mention]Spoony[/mention]!) and I like them a lot!

Seemed to hug the hips better and overall I think they look better, being a similar finish and angular shape to the bodywork panels.

Have you looked into costs yet [mention]Trigger[/mention]?

I went for a cheeky seat swap while the car was in Crewkerne.

I am liking the newer standard seats that are in the 4 and on newer Nomads.

My man maths reckons they are a good 2" narrower around the hips and after a 4 hour drive home without padding, I'm daisy fresh and ready to do another 4 hours.

No gaps in the lower back area and really quite grippy in terms of the finish, so no sliding round roundabouts (me, not the car).

Lastly, both seats are 5 way adjustable front and rear. The passenger seat wasn't on the others and with the passenger foot rest, legroom was a little tight.

All in all, thoroughly recommend!

Cost?

I can't put that on here!

I’ve been quoted about £600 per seat I think....will do it when I get round to it.

The carbon seats in my Nomad are amazingly comfortable (they also slide forward and backwards), and I have been known to complain about car seats, moreover, who needs a wife...

They are a thing of beauty. I'd be worried about getting out, as I step on the seat to do so.

I agree and I found a solution to stepping on the seat, look at my post ‘Titivating the new Nomad posted earlier today...
