BC Drivers: Understanding Seat Cushions Inside Ford Vehicles

On any vehicle, having comfortable seats is very important. While it may come as a surprise to some, the construction of chairs inside Ford vehicles is more complex than it may seem.

First, the seats are made up of bolstering - which is sometimes also referred to as a cushion or pad. This stuffing is made out of foam to provide the rider with a squishy spot to rest during the drive. The cuts for each seat cushion are different based on which seat it is. for example, left and right padding is crafted accordingly as are the pads for benches, bucket seats, and those with various split-folding functions including 60/40, 50/50, and 40/20/40 - which are the most common variations.

Many are made from a material that can handle temperature changes. This is the case for models with heated and/or ventilated seats. Keep in mind that there are several other considerations to think about when replacing your Ford’s bolstering. These can include the following:

• Body Style
• Consoles/Armrests
• Inflatable Seatbelts
• Adjustability
• Trim Level
