FAQS
When installed, the pads protrude forward and get in the way of entering the seat. So, they need to be placed in the working position after you are seated. Fundamentally, the device functions as a wedge, which is difficult to preposition. For added versatility, we include a simple add-on accessory, the Sling Mount. It is a cord that wraps around the headrest and supports the pads from above so they won’t slip if the body-weight is removed.
The outside surface has a layer of a high-performance material that grips the
seat and won’t slip. Simply leaning back against the pads creates enough
friction to lock them into place.
The pads exert a slight inward pressure on the sides of your torso, like a wide, gentle hug. When accelerating, you feel the inward force increase. While cornering, the pads provide a soft, yet firm surface to lean on. When you turn the wheel, you feel it immediately on your side. This makes the steering feel more crisp and responsive. The harder you corner, the tighter it hugs!
By stopping the sideways motion, it minimizes the strain caused by torso swaying. Many drivers with back issues have reported that the Bolster Boost increased driving comfort and reduced soreness.
The side airbag actually deploys forward of the seat, into the space between the driver and the door, not sideways into the Bolster Boost.
Fundamentally, more padding in an accident is a good thing. Any additional foam or cushioning between your body and the car is essential in dissipating the force and providing extra energy absorption in an impact.
The built-in adjustment is limited to making a specific spot feel tighter, you cannot change the location of the support. Also, the amount of contact area stays the same, so it is just more force over the same area, The Bolster Boost massively increases your contact area with the car on new areas of your body. In effect, it acts as a side bolster extension that projects forward to better envelop and support your torso.
The Bolster Boost makes everyday driving more stimulating, engaging and fun! You become more alert, sensitive and actually a better, safer driver.
Bolster Boost is allowed in all classes of competition except the Street category. It has been in a FIA sanctioned race series in Europe where it was used in the winning car!
We want everybody to try it without risk, that’s why we offer a free trial and a moneyback guarantee.
The grip layer has no effect on car seat covers, leather, cloth, felt, marine-grade vinyl, even Wet Okole. If you have a classic car of unknown seat covering, we can supply a swatch of the grip material for you to test.
