Nunz Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Thought I would ask, is there anyone out there with a Polaris Matryx that has the very firm seat that would be interested in trading for one for the softer foam? My seat is from a 2023 XCR all black. The harder foam is yellow which is the one I am looking for. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledguy74 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Is the heated seat firmer ? I was sorta looking at it but realized it didn’t have the red stripe mine has its all black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunz Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 It’s supposed to be firmer, I ended up finding someone to trade seats with me and another for my brothers new Xcr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I thought one of the pros of the poo seats was they were flat (that other manufacturers are following suite on) and firmer - did things change based on some peoples negative feedback perhaps? My seat is a bit on the plush side too for my liking, apparently if I put the 850 seat on, they are firmer and I think a bit higher, but you lose the rear seat compartment storage if I’m not mistaken.

coolbane Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 When I was using an Indy as my main sled a few years ago, I replaced the stock seat with a slightly firmer seat from another Poo model. For me, the firmer seat turned out not to be good for all-day groomed trail riding; The backside starts to hurt in the afternoon. I went back to the stock seat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 21 had a vet firm seat, 22 was much softer and the 22 seemed a little more soft yet again, for me it’s more the seating position vs the comfort being a little higher up.

Re:Leaf Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 This topic is bringing back memories of sled junk. He wasn’t happy with the spongy material used in the Yamaha vector seat. Dave removed the cover from the seat and added padding until the correct firmness was achieved. Unfortunately the padding turned very hard in the cold and the seat had a firmness similar to concrete. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Wonder if a more dense foam costs more money than and it’s just a cost cutting measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all cut costs wherever they can. Only us as avid real time users notice the deficiencies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had read online that it was a supply chain issue that forced the change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matrix Seat Thanks, its really weird cause my 2023 seat foam and my brothers was white and soft vs what others are saying. One of those things you need to actually check the seat out. I am fine with trading the higher seat position over the softer seat. My knees aren't what they used to be lol. @Re:Leaf lol I have been thinking of Dave quite a bit in trying to figure out the seat thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
