Waukesha, WI - H.O. Bostrom Company is proud to be featured in the November 14, 2025, WorkBoat article, “Seating technology advances as military and commercial demand grows,” by senior editor Ken Hocke.
The article highlights how application-specific seating has become critical as both military and commercial operators seek improved safety, ergonomics, and durability in demanding environments. H.O. Bostrom is recognized for its extensive work with police patrol boats, Coast Guard craft, naval fleets, NOAA vessels, and commercial workboats, supplying both new build seating and replacement solutions for vessels already in service.
“Increasingly, operators understand that there is no ‘one seat fits all boats,’ and that the right seating solution is central to crew safety and performance,” said Paul Bostrom, H.O. Bostrom’s President & CEO. “Being included in WorkBoat’s coverage underscores how our engineering-driven approach delivers seating tailored to each vessel and application.”
In the military segment, WorkBoat notes that H.O. Bostrom’s seating often combines custom-designed systems with the SeaPost Sierra T-580 suspension seat, engineered for durability, comfort, and the demanding conditions faced by military and law enforcement personnel. For commercial workboats, which include towboats, harbor tugs, and offshore supply vessels, the SeaPost Sierra helm chair is the best-selling solution valued for rugged construction, ergonomic support, and adaptability in tough environments.
The article also highlights H.O. Bostrom’s recent launch of the Pacifica AL helm seat, featuring an ergonomic high-back, adjustable lumbar support, an aluminum pedestal, pneumatic lift, a 360-degree locking swivel, and multiple adjustment features to enhance comfort and control.
As the marine industry continues to evolve with new vessel designs and 24/7 operations, H.O. Bostrom remains focused on advancing marine seating technologies and expanding its product lines to meet emerging requirements across military, law enforcement, and commercial fleets.
