Lincoln is preparing a special treat for its customers, as it has developed a new and innovative seat, introduced on the Lincoln Continental Concept. The 30-way adjustable seats offers better tailor and personalize their experience.
 
Improved comfort comes from a patented flexible comfort carrier. This suspension system of plastic and a thin layer of foam flexes around the body, helping take stress off the shoulders and neck. Lincoln seats engineers studied first-class and private airplane seats for possible applications.
 
Lisa Senters-McDermott, CEO of Jet Senters Aviation, believes luxury drivers will welcome the influence of high-end aviation seating. Support for the lower body and legs is provided by two extending thigh cushions, each independently adjustable. The cushions can be extended or moved up or down. This allows the driver to further personalize the adjustments and give support as needed to each leg independently, recognizing the different needs for each leg – one is at rest while the other engages the pedals.
 
Additional comfort is provided by massage functions in the back and cushion. The rolling-pattern massage is designed to help reduce muscle fatigue, aches and pains by keeping muscles and blood vessels stimulated in the legs and lower back. The seats can be heated, and cooling vents are included as well.
 
“The Lincoln Continental Concept previews the next era for Lincoln, including luxury automotive seating,” said Dan Ferretti, senior technical leader. “The 30-way seats reflect the focus on providing the total luxury experience for the client.”
