JBS Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Ok so I'm on the verge of ordering a bergara but the seat cushioning looks similar to a bucket seat and my mates use them and moan after a couple of hours about having a sore rear end! Are they any more comfortable for long periods? I'm already up to 5 inches of upholstery foam on my current seat and that still doesn't do the job!! I don't fancy carrying my current seat that weighs a ton once everywhere is drilled again so opinions from people that have tried a few seats and settled on this one would be helpful Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeonblasterian Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 They are a good seat.They are lacking in padding but it usually takes four or five hours before i start to feel uncomfortable on one. Cannot see them being much use to you if you need five inches of padding as they have about a centimeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I need to get down maccy d's and get some natural extra padding on my **** then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 I am of the large persuasion and I find the padding and seat comfortable enough, even over long periods. Because the Bergara is adjustable, you don't have to sit as low as on a bucket seat , which does make your rear end, thighs and back ache.

Osteve123 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Hi guys, looking for a new chair. I like the fact that this one has adjustable legs as I can be found in my hide in a ditch, so would be useful! Also looking do a chair with a back...but how strong is the back...really..? Can you lean back in to it, being plastic, does it not want to twist or feel like it is going to break? Just got to justify double the cost of a "normal" chair... Steve.

Mightymariner Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 They are good, very strong, had mine a while and it gets chucked about all the time, no worries. Adjustable legs bonus ESP in a dyke, expensive but worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Don't think "plastic", its more like a "compound" type material. Plenty strong enough, mine gets some very harsh treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Impressed with mine so far, sturdy and adaptable. Not that much padding but as Cranfield said, because you're not straining its very comfortable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osteve123 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Thanks guys, I must admit when I first saw it, it seemed to tick all the boxes off what I had been looking for. Plus I'm 6'2, so can be hard to find a stool/chair that doesn't make me sit hunched over! And must admit a swivel chairs would have made life easier in the past.... Looks like I'll be investing in one then! Thanks again for your help. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBS Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I bit the bullet and ordered one anyway, the chair is very strong and great on uneven ground with the adjustable legs but it is without doubt the most uncomfortable seat I've used yet! This may be because I shoot sitting so don't stand at all while I'm out, the problem is now solved with the foam seat pad I made for my old seat and I expect it to last for years to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Excellent chair, great construction and comfortable. The back rest makes all the difference compared to the bucket seats. The adjustable legs mean you can set up on uneven terrain also. As said, the padding isn't the thickest but you can easily add some if you wanted.
