Scheel-Mann seats

[WSOPgold2012]

Does anyone have any sharable experience with Scheel-Mann? Curios about Bolster options but the "Vario XXL" is VERY appealing! Thoughts?

"Touring"

"Traveler" with larger Bolsters than abv

"Vario XXl"

i think this is the 1!!! Vario XXL Grey Cloth


The center cushions are the our brand new S242 grey checkerboard cloth, with S211 grey leatherette side bolsters.

The black version of this fabric is so popular, that we are now offering it in grey!

The cloth has a nice texture that looks great, but also breaths really well. These have both the heating option, as well as the map net.

Vario F $1799

Heat $139

Map net $59

Each of these seats cost $1997

Arm rests can be added to either side of any seat and are in stock $159 each.

Note: photos are of the standard Vario F. The backrest of the XXL version is three inches taller.

I have the Traveler F series, they are fantastic seats. Even with the F series which has smaller thigh bolsters, getting in and out is a bit more of a chore than it was with the broken down stock seats, but once you are in the seat they are so comfortable you don't think about how expensive they are.

Yes, I got the sliders through Scheel Mann from Planted Seats. Here is a link to their Toyota offerings. TOYOTA - https://www.plantedtechnology.com/products/seat-brackets/toyota.html

I have an 87 that has the heater under the passenger seat as opposed to in the middle, so I had to modify slightly so the bracket fit over the heater as I wanted to retain the heater, but it was no big deal.

Sorry, yes I have Trail Tailor sliders. I now use them to get in the rig, where previously to the Scheel Mann's I did not.

do you remember which brackets youused? I also have an '87

The brackets were the planted seat technology item, purchased through Scheel Mann, the seat sliders came directly from Scheel Mann. Sorry my previous posts were a bit confusing. As I mentioned above, if you still have the heater under the passenger seat, the brackets need to be modified, but it was no big deal. I feel the seats sit about where the stock seats sat height-wise, if anything, maybe a touch lower.

No worries. Appreciate the info. Are you a bigger guy? Im a XXXL guy... curious how they sit if youre a large guy too

Also, I highly recommend adding an armrest on the inside of each seat if you have the stock center console, it is a game changer.

I am stocky, but not tall. I am about 5' 10" and about 220 lbs. I went with the standard size and am very happy with it. If you haven't already, talk to Toby at Scheel Mann USA, he will make sure you get what you need. According to him, if I were much taller I would want to consider the larger size.

I am not aware of any discounts, they certainly aren't cheap, but buy once and cry once. These certainly are not for everyone based on the pricing, but if you are looking for a supportive comfortable seat, you can't beat them. Based on the pricing I am not sure I would do it again, but now that I have them I am certainly glad that I have them.

I have a 80 with a driver vario xxl with slider and armrest, probably the best money I have spent after getting it running solid. I have a bad back and the adjustment range is awesome. The slider is huge in the 80 because of the lack of leg room for a taller driver (6’2”). Toby is out of Portland Oregon who imports them from Germany and will give a veteran discount. You can also buy the planted brackets from them direct for a little cheaper they are a Seattle wa company.

sexy seats!!! Would you need/want the XXLs if you were 6'?

 

[Fj80oregon]

Man hard to say I went to there showroom and sat in all the models and the vario is what I felt most comfortable in. You can call Toby he is great
To talk with and can answer all you questions. The other seats where all very comfortable I just liked all the adjustable positions. It is a very tall seat.

@Fj80oregon @Sweet Water did u guys match the passenger seat or get a less expensive Scheel-Mann?

I did not purchase a second seat yet and probably won’t, my wife is content with the stock seat and it’s hard to justify 2400 bucks for looks.
