When it comes to a vehicles bucket seats, there are several styles that have been consistently used in cars and trucks over the years. Some of their design elements are for visual appeal or style, while other aspects are solely based upon functionality and comfort. And while they may be covered in different fabrics or leather, bucket seats are considered by many as one of the most comfortable ways to ride in a vehicle.
Individual Bucket Seats
This type of bucket seat comes in both low- and high-back styles with or without armrests. It may have a separate headrest or one may be incorporated into the seats design. And as the title of this section suggests, it is designed and contoured for holding a single person.
40/60 Bucket Seats
This type of bucket seat is a single unit that is designed for holding two people. It gets its name from the fact that 40 percent of the seat is contoured for the driver with 60 percent of the seat dedicated to the passenger. This option can have a low or a high back as well as a center armrest. It may also have a separate headrest. This style seat can have a solid or split back. The advantage of a split back is that you or your passenger can easily access the back seat (if there is one in your vehicle) or the storage space behind the seat without disturbing the other person. And depending on the vehicle, it may include a cutout for the gearshift.
60/40 Bucket Seats
This type of bench bucket seat is almost identical to the 40/60 bucket seat but with one key difference. In this seat, 60 percent is dedicated to the driver with 40 percent of the seat contoured for the passenger. All other aspects and features of this type of seat are the same as the 40/60 bucket seat.
45/45 Bucket Seats
As the name suggests, this type of bucket seat provides both the passenger and the driver with the same amount of space. It may also contain a center armrest as well as separate headrests. It comes in both low- and high-back models.
Captains Chairs
This type of bucket seat is designed for one person and may include many of the same comforts as a large comfortable chair you have at home. Features can include armrests, an adjustable headrest, a reclining back and the ability to swivel. This type of bucket seat is most often found in vans and RVs.
