Very Comfortable Seat Feb 17, 2007 By Scooterist
My seat just came in today. I couldn't wait to mount it on the bike and see how it felt. In a word, it's Wonderful!

You should know I am 6 feet tall and weigh 250 lbs, so I'm not a small guy. Seat discomfort has been the biggest downside of cycling for me. I usually have no problem strectching the springs and padding as far as it will go. But not with this seat. With full weight on the seat, the springs only move slightly. The padding is firm but comfortable. This seat is on a K2 Big Easy Deuce with the stretch frame geometry. It is now the most comfortable bike I could ever imagine riding.

If you are blessed with a larger than average frame and backside and you have tended to tax seats to their limit in the past, this could be the seat for you. I am very pleased with mine and glad I took the time to research the subject. Now, come on summer!!!

"Comfort" is in the eye of the beholder (so to speak) May 10, 2009 By dbphoenix
When I began biking greater distances, I understandably wanted a more comfortable saddle. I did the research, read the reviews, visited the shops, and eventually settled on the Cloud 9 series from Sunlite. Without going into the details, I wound up trying several different saddles in the Cloud 9 line (they all vary slightly according to width, length, suspension, etc). And, in the end (pun intended), I learned a great deal about "comfort" saddles.

For anyone who's suffered a sore bottom, a soft saddle seems at first to be a Godsend. I mean, it's so soft. And for those who are looking for relief from perineal pressure, a saddle of any kind with a groove down the center is to be welcomed. Combine the two and you've got cause for celebration.

But not so fast. As it turns out, unless your range is limited, you're going to have many of the same issues with these saddles as you would with any other. If you're riding more than, say, 10 miles or so, and definitely if you're riding up to 20 or more, you eventually begin to sink into all this softness -- can't be helped -- and eventually you are sitting very near the bottom of the saddle, and that "groove" that's supposed to protect your perineum has disappeared. The "comfort" saddle therefore becomes much more UNcomfortable than a firmer bike seat would have been from the getgo. Add to this the fact that the tongue or nose of the saddle is very likely to be too wide, meaning that your thighs do not move without contacting the tongue or the business portion of the saddle itself, and your legs will quickly begin to go numb from the continuing pressure against the thigh where it connects with the pelvis.

As counter-intuitive as it may seem, then, you're actually better off -- particularly if you're a male, and most particularly if you want to avoid pressure against your perineum -- getting a firmer saddle such as the one linked above (the Schwinn Pillow Top Cruiser for [...]bucks). No, it won't seem as if you're settling onto the sofa. But you won't sink into the seat, either, and your perineum will thank you for giving it room. And if you're riding such a distance that your bum begins to object, shift your position slightly. If that's not enough, stop, get off, and rest a bit, enjoying the view, downing a swig or two or six of whatever you brought along to drink. This will add only a few minutes to your trip and will help keep it a pleasurable experience rather than an echo of the Bataan Death March. After all, if you don't enjoy your rides, you'll stop doing them, and then where will you be?

Big wide cloud nine bicycle seat Oct 01, 2007 By C. Gray
This was such a great purchase, that I bought 2 more for gifts. I am overweight and was starting to bicycle for exercise - but I couldn't ride for more that a mile at a time with my old seat. I purchased the cloud nine and I rode 12 miles the first weekend! My dad tried my seat and it was so much more comfortable that he wanted to use my bike for the rest of the trip. So, I went home and purchased 2 more seats for my Dad and Stepmom so we could all enjoy our ride and stay out longer. Now, my biggest challenge is having the kids keep up with me! My husband liked the seat so much that he stole my Dad's before I gave it to him, so now I have to purchase a 4th!

Ahhhh Jul 02, 2008 By R. Woodrick
I just got a new (used) bike and after riding it a few times, I had to give my "body" a break. I could hardly handle the pain of sitting on that seat again. I bought this seat hoping for some relief.

1. The seat does not feel like a soft pillow or cushion. It's a bike seat, it is not supposed to. It does however give a great deal more cushion that my original gel seat topped with additional gel seat cover. (how two gel seats end up feeling like a sharp rock, I don't know)It is softer, yes, but the greater impact is from having my weight more evenly distributed.

2. It is wide, but not ridiculously so. It did not impair the way I ride in any way.

3. It does cause you to sit higher up, make sure you have the room. I'm 5'2", so I was concerned, but it worked out.

4. The seat arrived in only a few days. I'm very happy with the new seat and I recommend it.

Love this seat!!! A must for women! Jun 22, 2008 By S. Ridge
I bought this seat after reading the reviews; the seat my mountain bike came with could only be described as a device of torture. I'm about 5'5'' and 135 - hoping the bike will help me drop the last of my baby-weight - but in order to do that, I have to ride! I was in such pain after riding on my old seat I didn't even want to sit down on ANYthing.

This seat is GREAT! All the women in my cul de sac tried it and said they'd order one too. It eliminates the problem with hip bones hitting metal - it's totally comfortable and now I just have to worry about the pain in my quads from pedaling - which is doable!

I'd recommend this seat to anyone. I installed it myself in minutes; just make sure you have a 1/2" wrench. Can't say enough good things about it - truly a great product.
