BioSciences
Magna’s award-winning seats are among the most comfortable in the industry. The reason? Unlike many of our competitors, we factor comfort into every phase of development, from design to validation to production. Magna Seating’s Center for BioSciences™ comprises of experts in biomechanics and ergonomics who leverage our decades of experience, proprietary tools and techniques to craft one thing: a customer-pleasing seating experience. Quite simply, our seats are better built for comfort – right from the start.
MagnaMap™
Easing the pressures in seat designs.
The body’s dynamic response to gravity when seated is the principle behind our proprietary pressure mapping tool, MagnaMap™.
- The system analyzes the pressures placed on the body when sitting, entering and exiting the vehicle.
- The algorithm is so robust, we use it to program the machines that mimic human contact with prototype seats.
- The tool reduces the number of often costly consumer trials needed in seat development and validation.
Pelvic vs Lumbar
A better support system.
When designing for comfort, the historic approach has been to construct seats that support the lumbar region. At Magna, we took a different path. We design our seats for pelvic support. By supporting the pelvis with seat contours and shapes that we’ve researched and perfected over time, the spine more naturally achieves a comfortable, stable position. Pelvic support is an approach that benefits our OEM customers because it removes guesswork and satisfies comfort requirements of all consumers – all body sizes and genders.
Craftsmanship
We are dedicated to providing best-in-class design and execution through benchmarking, best practices, design guidelines and validation. We achieve functional, fashionable seating through the blend of art & engineering.
