the material cost is basically negligible in this comparison. it’s the component count in the assembly that matters. and two complex seats are way more expensive than one moderately complex bigger seat.
The cost on 2 bucket seats is way higher than a single bench. Separate controls, hinges, reclining mechanisms, headrests,
For comfort, there is no question, bucket seats reign supreme.
TBF, being of an age that i’ve had both, I’ll take a bucket seat and good AC over a bench seat. If my girl needs to be that close to me, we’re going to be in the back seat :)
The bucket seats have all that material and padding down each side so I don’t think that point stands.
Bench seats have material and padding all across the middle of the whole car…

the back seat of a truck? how big are trucks these days holy
Cars used to have bench seats too.
But that’s divided between three seats, not two, so the material per seat is less.
