NRG InnovationsNRG-FRP-311 Extra Deep Racing Bucket Racing Seat (Medium),Black Seat Cover, 20"W X 20" D X 37" H

The seat was very comfy and snug but unfortunately doesn’t fit a na Miata without modifications to the inside of the door panel. I can see this being a very good chair for a racing sim rig. Cost to quality ratio is very good!

Build quality and comfort is great for what I need it for. I am not concerned with safety, since it is only being used as a sim rig seat, so I can't speak to that. I will say that the comfort and ease of use is definitely there.This will fit pretty much every sim rig frame kit you can find based on measurements alone. It comes with the brackets, which are very good quality NRG brackets, like the seat. Mine also came with a baggy of 8 screw/nut/washer/spring washer combos that aided in my assemblies.Not much to say other than that. If you are looking for a seat for a sim racing rig, definitely consider this in either medium or large.I got large, and I am 5' 10" with a 33-34 waist. I fit in here pretty comfortably and can use it for multiple hours without any discomfort.

In short, this seat is excellent, the brackets suck (but do work ok).I went with a size Large because I use it in a simulator and don't need lateral support under g-forces for obvious reasons. This makes sure it's comfortable for most sized users. I'm a 33 inch pant size, 185lb, 5' 9" male and find the large seat to be perfectly comfortable and it doesn't feel too big at all.I don't want a super cushy seat and I find the firm yet padded support to be perfect, easily do multi-hour sessions in this seat.Now for the side-mount brackets. There's nothing wrong with them except they don't actually fully work with this seat. The brackets have 3 forward and 3 rearward mounting holes and the lowest rearward mounting hole is not capable of aligning with the seat at all, might as well not be there. The issue is that to achieve proper posture for most race car seating positions you want quite a bit of recline, typically as much as 30 degrees or more at the seat. This paired with an upward tilted steering column and properly aligned pedals is key for long-term comfort, ergonomics, and consistency. With these brackets the most reclined position you can achieve is 17 degrees at the seat. Good enough for a road car and works ok in a sim rig but definitely not ideal at all.Since the brackets do work fine and do have decent adjustability for what I suspect most buyers will want I can comfortably recommend this seat, I love it and have no regrets!

I originally going to go all out and buy the expensive Sparco seat for my SIM racing cockpit, then I came across this NRG Innovation seat from one of the Youtube videos I watched. When I came to Amazon to read the reviews, many people who purchased said this thing came damaged or whatever, so I was little worried, especially because I just had a shoulder surgery and I didn't want to have to repackage it and return the seat IF it had any problems. I just received this today and carefully looked everywhere and sat on it to see how it feels. First... absolutely no problem anywhere on the seat. Second... it's comfortable and feels extremely sturdy. I now have to look for the seat sliding mount but don't know which one to get yet, but I'll figure it out, I guess. Extremely happy with the purchase.

The NRG bucket seat is amazing for what it costs! I was in need of replacing an older Sparco seat on my sim rig, but did not what to spend $500+. I saw the NRG seat that were available and here on Amazon, it was easily $100 cheaper than other stores. For $250 shipped, the seat came in about a week and I am super happy with it! Bolted right in to my 8040 aluminum sim rig with the included seat brackets. The seat is stiff (in a good way) and the cushions are very comfortable. I had to get an extra lumbar support cushion for it, but other than that, it is an awesome seat. I am 5’8” 165lbs with a 32 inch waist and the seat fits me perfectly. I highly recommend this bucket seat for sim racing and even in a regular car, as I’ve had multiple hour race sessions in it now and have no complaints.

The seat is very nice and sturdy but man is this thing small! Don't even consider the medium it's tiny. The shoulders do see to push slightly forward and that may be causing some pain in the long run aswell

Was very impressed by this seat! For reference, I was shipped the updated model which comes with pouches for your phone, and the paint on the back is more of a rainbow flake vs what’s shown in the shop. From what I can tell this IS a real NRG seat so I wouldn’t be too worried about counterfeits. I bought this as an upgrade from the seat that came with my racing simulator and it was well worth the investment! Padding and materials feel like the seat should honestly be more expensive. My only real gripe with the seat is that I wish it had a bit more depth when you sit in it (I’m over 6ft and my head misses the top of the seat compared to my old seat lol). Other than that, very happy with my purchase!

This bucketseat is good, but not perfect. I agree with some reviewers that said the mounting brackets are not square -- definitely be aware of this when trying to mount to your sim rig. The seat itself is pretty comfortable. There's a decent enough amount of padding, but don't expect the same softness that comes with the more traditional seats. It does need some extra lumbar support, however.I haven't sat in it for prolonged periods of time so I can't say how warm it gets, but I imagine it will probably get a tad toasty given how "fitted" it is.For reference, I'm between 5'5-5'6" and ~160lbs. I bought the medium and I fit snugly. I intend on adding motion to my rig in the future, so I opted for a more snug fit to keep from sliding around. It's not so snug that it's uncomfortable, but there's no room on either side of my legs. If you want a more relaxed fit, I would opt for the large.Overall I'm pleased with this bucketseat, especially for the price. This seat is comfortable enough and is perfect for a sim racing rig. I highly recommend it.
