How do you prevent seat injuries when sitting on a truck seat for a long time?

Make sure your truck seat is properly adjusted

A properly adjusted seat is the start of sitting well and of preventing seat complaints. A truck seat from the well-known seat brand ISRI is extensively adjustable. This is how to adjust it:

• Activate the air suspension if the seat does not adjust itself;

• Set the correct seat height;

• Set the correct horizontal distance from the steering wheel;

• Adjust the seat cushion to the correct depth: two fingers space between cushion and knee hollow;

• Adjust the inclination of the seat. Note: better slightly flatter than too much backwards;

• Adjust the backrest so that good support can be felt along its entire length. If necessary, the shoulder support can be adjusted separately on certain models;

• Adjust the lumbar support so that the lower back is well supported;

• If available, adjust the armrest so that the arm can rest in a relaxed position.

Other tips we give to prevent seat discomfort when you sit on a truck seat for a long time may not be the first thing you would think of, but they are no less effective for it:

Empty your pockets

Make sure your trouser pockets are empty when you sit on your truck seat. A pen, keys or, for example, a wallet in the back pocket will cause damage to the seat and cause you to sit incorrectly. Sitting incorrectly for a while is no problem, but if you don't sit correctly for a long time, your neck, back and shoulders will suffer.

Take regular breaks

Even a short pee break adds movement and stimulates circulation. This helps reduce sitting complaints.

Change your sitting position regularly

Prevents sitting in the same sitting position for too long. It may help to adjust the seat slightly from time to time.

Keep the truck cabin clean

A clean working environment is half the battle. Waste and dust contaminate and damage the seat of the truck seat. As a result, the breathability of the seat cover is lost.

Choose the right seat

As can be read, you can do a lot yourself to prevent sitting problems. However, everything depends on choosing the right seat.
