How to Choose the Right Automotive Seats: Professional Guide from Jiulong Auto Seat

2026-03-25 10:01

 As a core component of automotive comfort and safety, automotive seats are closely related to the driving experience, physical health of passengers, and travel safety. However, many consumers and automotive manufacturers often fall into the misunderstanding of "pursuing appearance over practicality" when selecting seats. To help global customers make scientific and rational choices, Jiulong Seat, a leading enterprise in China's automotive seat industry with more than 20 years of experience,  will share a professional guide to selecting automotive seats.


Founded in 2003, Jiulong Seat is located in Ganglong Automobile Industrial Park, Zhangzhou Taiwanese Investment Zone, Fujian Province. With a registered capital of 33.5 million yuan, the company specializes in the production of various bus seats, covering 4-18 meter buses, including tourist bus seats, public transport seats, and special vehicle seats such as ambulance, blood collection vehicle and police vehicle seats. Up to now, Jiulong Seat has rapidly developed seven series and more than 50 new types of seats, and can provide seat modification services according to customer needs, serving customers in more than 100 countries and regions around the world. Relying on strict quality control and innovative R&D capabilities, the company has passed CQC China Quality Certification, ISO International Quality Management System Certification, MARK EU Safety Certification and other international authoritative certifications, and has nearly 60 independent R&D core patents, ranking among the top three in China's bus seat industry with a market share exceeding 20%.

Based on the experience of serving numerous automotive manufacturers and global users, Jiulong Seat summarizes four core principles for selecting automotive seats, helping users avoid misunderstandings and accurately match their needs.


1. Prioritize Safety: The Fundamental Criterion for Seat Selection

Safety is the primary prerequisite for automotive seats, which must comply with international and national safety standards. Jiulong Seat reminds that when selecting seats, it is necessary to focus on core safety indicators: first, the structural strength of the seat, including the tensile strength of the metal frame (not less than 345MPa) and the shear resistance of the welding points (not less than 15kN), to ensure that the seat does not break or fall off in the event of a collision; second, the performance of the headrest, which should meet the requirements of ECE R17 and other standards, with a backward displacement of not more than 102mm in dynamic rear collision tests to avoid "whiplash injury"; third, the safety of the restraint system, such as the seat belt anchor point, which needs to pass multi-axis tensile testing to ensure effective restraint of passengers during collisions.


As a professional seat manufacturer, Jiulong Seat's products all pass GB 15083, GB 14167 and other national standards as well as ECE R17, FMVSS 207 and other international specifications, and undergo more than 100 quality inspection procedures to ensure that every seat meets the highest safety standards. For example, the QTCG2.0 driver seat with air spring launched by the company is equipped with a three-point seat belt electric buckle sensor and an integrated headrest, which further improves driving safety while ensuring comfort.


2. Focus on Ergonomics: Alleviate Fatigue During Long-Term Riding

For drivers and passengers who need long-term riding, the ergonomic design of the seat directly affects physical health. Jiulong Seat's R&D team points out that a qualified ergonomic seat should achieve "full fit and scientific support": the seat cushion length should cover more than 70% of the thigh length (the recommended range is 48-55cm) to disperse the pressure on the buttocks and thighs; the backrest height should reach the scapula position (60-75cm) to provide effective support for the neck and shoulders; the backrest adjustment angle should be between 10°-30°, and it is recommended to adjust it to 15°-20° during long-distance driving to fit the physiological curvature of the human spine.

In response to the needs of long-distance driving, Jiulong Seat has introduced a number of ergonomic designs. The QTCG2.0 driver seat is equipped with an airbag suspension damping balance system, which can effectively reduce vibration and alleviate driving fatigue; the backrest is designed with adjustable lumbar support, which can promote the natural curvature of the spine and relieve lumbar pressure; the seat cushion is designed to fit the contours of the buttocks and thighs, evenly distributing body weight and reducing pressure points. In addition, the company's seats adopt layered foam design, with soft foam on the surface, medium-hard foam in the middle and hard foam at the bottom, which not only ensures a comfortable touch, but also provides long-term stable support.


3. Pay Attention to Material Quality: Balance Comfort, Durability and Environmental Protection

The material of the seat directly determines its comfort, durability and environmental performance. When selecting seats, users should focus on two aspects: surface fabric and internal filling. For the surface fabric, leather seats have a high-end texture and are easy to clean, while fabric seats have good air permeability and are more cost-effective; no matter which type of fabric is selected, it is necessary to ensure that it meets the flame retardant standard (vertical burning speed ≤ 100mm/min) and has good wear resistance (wear resistance ≥ 50,000 times by Martindale method). For internal filling, high-quality polyurethane foam with a density of 30-50kg/m³ is recommended, with a compression set of ≤ 15%, which can ensure long-term support without deformation.

Jiulong Seat has always adhered to the concept of "high-quality materials and green environmental protection". The seat foam adopts a low-odor and low-emission formula, which meets or exceeds the national requirements for VOC and odor, with formaldehyde ≤ 0.1mg/m³ and the sum of toluene and xylene ≤ 1.00mg/m³, ensuring a healthy and environmentally friendly riding environment. At the same time, the company selects high-quality leather and fabric materials, which have passed strict wear resistance and flame retardant tests, ensuring the durability and comfort of the seats.


4. Match Usage Scenarios: Customize Seat Solutions

Different vehicle types and usage scenarios have different requirements for seats. Jiulong Seat reminds that seat selection should be based on actual needs: for public transport vehicles such as buses, seats need to have strong load-bearing capacity and wear resistance, and be easy to clean, so as to adapt to the characteristics of frequent passenger flow; for tourist buses and business vehicles, seats should focus on comfort and luxury, and can be equipped with functions such as ventilation, heating and massage to improve the riding experience; for special vehicles such as ambulances and police vehicles, seats need to be customized according to professional needs to meet the special functional requirements of the vehicles.

Based on the segmentation of usage scenarios, Jiulong Seat has built a rich product matrix, including QTCG2.0 driver seats, VIP business seats, FJ urban bus seats, CJ urban bus seats and other series, which can accurately match the needs of different vehicle types. In addition, the company provides personalized customization services, which can carry out seat modification according to customer needs, realizing the perfect fit between seats and usage scenarios.


Automotive seats are not only a part of the vehicle, but also a carrier of safety and comfort. We hope that through this guide, we can help global customers better understand the key points of seat selection and choose the most suitable seat products," said the relevant person in charge of Jiulong Seat. In the future, Jiulong Seat will continue to focus on technological innovation and product upgrading, integrate human engineering, intelligent technology and environmental protection concepts into product R&D and manufacturing, and provide more high-quality, safe and comfortable seat solutions for global automotive manufacturers and users, helping the global automotive seat industry move towards high-quality development.
