Millennium Seats.....Worth the price?

[Tin Man]

My buddy is considering the Millennium Marine ComfortMax Pro-M 100 Boat seats for his '22 Bass Buggy 18DLX pontoon.
His OEM seats are very uncomfortable...his three fishing seat backs have you leaning directly upright to slightly forward.

I have seen some of you using them on your tinnies. I am intrigued by the stretched net fabric design and how they claim they can be so comfortable with ZERO foam....or is it all hyperbole!

For those of you that use them, what's your take on comfort, durability, construction, etc?

Thanks!

I'm surprised there are no takers yet. Those kind of remind me of some styles of patio furniture that are pretty comfortable.

Very comfortable seats. Wider than most other seats with some rearward slope in the bottom. I have them in a aluminum fishing boat. Mesh fabric is cool for to air flow no no sweaty butt like vinyl seats.

Would recommend.

I have back issues and would rather sit in my millennium seats than most seats in my house. They are great. Mine stay out in the elements and appear to be holding up well. I think they are great.

So they are worth the $199 a piece?

$120 a piece at Cabela's. Worth every penny. On cold mornings I'll put a sweatshirt on the seat because the wind gets my butt a bit chilly. Other wise very comfortable and no sticking to vinyl.

I have an office chair that's built the same way. Very comfortable.

For $120, I might buy one, but It would not be allowed to sit out in the sun.

I'm not considering replacing the seats on my boat. But at 66, comfort for a day on the water is important to me, and I'd be willing to spend the $$.

I wouldn't go nuts on super high dollar seats, but the price for Millennium seats does not appear out of line with other offerings, not at all.

Yes, they are a bit pricey, but relative to the difference you are paying vs a decent quality vinyl, they are hands down worth the extra bucks. I actually have two. One mounted, and one I can take in and out of the 1436.
I think I paid $99 for one of mine, and about $110 for the other. Play those big box stores against each other for the best deal. Good luck!

Just put them in the boat a month ago. So far I really like them. 3 mounts and 2 seats gives me flexibility. I store my boat at a friend's lot so I pull them and store them in the garage. I think I'll try the sweatshirt/towel idea next time out.

These are the ones he is considering. We had a chance to see and sit on them last night at our local BPS. They are very nice! As mentioned, they are wider. Well constructed and heavy duty.

This thread reminded me I needed another for my Tracker 17.

Do those recline?

The back adjusts via the side straps, but does not recline

Read a post on this forum from June 2024 that these Millenium seats get very hard after the fabric "stretches out."

For those that have used them for a few years....have yours stretched out?

I use tree stands with millennium seats. I believe that’s what got millennium started. I sit for many hours at a time and am very comfortable. I have a few that have been in the woods for years and they are still as comfy as day one.

I've had mine for a few years, no stretch and still comfortable ; I did replace the straps with cables last spring.

I use a towel to protect my butt when it's cold, works very well.
