Bucket and cockpit seats that bolt onto your rig.
A fixed bucket seat holds you in place under braking and passes vibration from haptics straight to your body. Reclining seats are more comfortable for long sessions and shared setups.
Check the mounting: most rigs take seats through side brackets or a seat slider. Seats unlock in your build once it has a rig.
Seats range from around €100 for a basic fixed shell to €500+ for a reclining seat with built-in bolsters and premium upholstery. If you plan to add haptics later, a thinner, more rigid shell transmits vibration better than a heavily padded one.
