Shop Seating & Swivels Today
Factory seats are built for driving, not for much else. Once you're parked for the night, or just want more out of your cab day-to-day, that rigid, forward-facing layout stops working for you, and this is exactly where seating and swivels earn their place.
Swivel bases fit underneath your existing seat, letting the cab chair rotate to face the rear and turn two seats into an instant lounge area that connects with your living space. For anyone converting a van into a camper, this single upgrade can remove the need for a separate seating zone altogether, freeing up floor space for storage, a kitchen unit, or a larger bed platform.
Not every seating need is about swiveling, though. Foldaway seats add flexible passenger capacity when you need it and tuck away when you don't, which suits work vans, families, and anyone using their van for more than one purpose. Freestanding stools offer a lightweight, portable seating option for camp or cargo areas, while a headrest upgrade is a simple way to improve comfort and support without touching the rest of your setup.
Fit is where most seating upgrades succeed or fail. Swivel bases and seats are generally built around specific van makes, models, and seat mounting points, so a unit designed for one platform won't necessarily bolt onto another. Checking your van's year, seat type, and existing seatbelt and airbag wiring before buying will save you a returns process later and get you to a working setup faster.
Weight is another factor worth planning for early, particularly if you're adding multiple seats or a heavier foldaway unit. Every van has a manufacturer-rated gross vehicle weight rating, and seating upgrades add to the total alongside passengers, cargo, and any other modifications already in your build. You’ll want to compare the listed weight against your van's remaining payload capacity, rather than assuming it will fit, helps keep the finished vehicle within its rated limits.
Materials matter too. Vinyl and leather-look upholstery tend to hold up better against spills, sand, and general wear, while fabric can be more comfortable in extreme heat or cold. Sun exposure through the windscreen and side windows can affect certain materials over time, so your typical driving and parking conditions matter before choosing.
Beyond the seat itself, consider how your choice interacts with the rest of your build. If you're adding a swivel base, confirm there's enough clearance for the seat to rotate fully once cabinetry, a table, or a bed frame is in place. Owners running a two-berth layout or a compact van build often plan their seating around the rest of the interior for exactly this reason, since it affects how much usable floor space remains.
Our seating and swivels range covers options suited to a variety of van platforms, seat types, and budgets, whether you're after a more sociable layout at camp, extra passenger seating for work, or a more comfortable everyday ride.
