Bikeroo Comfort Bike Seat Cushion - Padded Gel Cover for Exercise, Mountain & Road Bikes, Universal Fit for Peloton & Stationary Bikes

I bought this saddle cushion for the bike at my Hotworx Studio! Life changer!! I only have about a minute beat week sessions to be easy for my next workout, this is so easy to set up, it only takes seconds, it perfectly fits the seat, it’s so comfortable, people kept asking me where did I get it from, it looks really nice, very nice quality! Definitely buying another one for my bike at home!

I have a FitDesk Bike. After about 3,000 miles on it, (really), I noticed that the vinyl on the seat was wearing and cracking. I also noticed the skin on my butt was wearing and cracking. So, I started to look for a saddle cover.The specs say this cover is 10"wide by 11"long. The FitDesk seat is a classic "cruiser" seat. But, by the tape it is 10.5" wide and 11" front to back. I decided to take a chance. The cover fits the seat exactly front to back. It is just a touch short side to side, but the difference is negligible and doesn't effect comfort or installation.Installation is interesting. The specs say the cover is 1" thick. But, of course, the cruiser seat is 2" or 3". Well, that 1" is the thickness of the gel padding. The cloth cowl that goes over the side and under the seat is more like 4", so there is plenty of material to go over the sides of the seat and gather underneath.Here's a tricky part. There is a drawstring that you pull that gathers up the material under the seat and snugs it up. But there's a lot of play in that and if that were all there was it might not be enough to hold the cover on tightly. But, and this is important, there is a second strap. It does not appear in any of the product photos. It does appear in a number of customer photos. The strap is in two lengths. There is one on each side of the cover just at the curve where the narrow front piece widens out to go around the seat sides. If you pull these down and tie them together under the seat it holds the cover super tightly so that there is no give, flex or movement at all. That also serves to pull the cover in tightly at the curvey part of the seat.Here's another trick. Pull down and tie the straps with a simple overhand knot. Then take the straps around the back of the seat post and tie them together again. This guarantees the cover won't slip forward. Then, tie the drawstring strings with a simple overhand knot and pull them around the front of the seat post and tie them off. Now the cover won't slip backward.All of that said, is the cover good enough to be worth adding? Well, first, it certainly protects the original seat cover. It adds an inch to the machine height, but you can readjust the seat height if you need to. (I was between too high and too low, so this little bump in height was actually good for me.) The gel is comfy. The cover does make the seat feel a bit narrower than was originally the case. Remember, the cover is a bit narrower than the seat. Also, the cover slopes down a bit at the edges while the original seat is more of a cruiser wide ride. I think these two factors are what combine to make it all feel narrower.Along the same lines, the back of the cover is a bit high compared to the surface of the original seat, so you get a very little bit of a more tipped forward feel. Since it's basically an upright bike anyway that didn't matter much to me.The upshot is that the feel of the seat and ride does end up being a bit different. Not necessarily better or worse, just different.As to butt comfort, well everyone's built a bit differently. This seems to offer support at the right places; there aren't any chafing points, and if I do end up with some sore spots at least they'll be new and different sore spots. So far, though, it's working as hoped. I certainly didn't feel like buying a whole new seat, which is the ultimate way to go, and this certainly does feel like a good value upgrade.If anything changes after the cover has been in use for a longer while, I'll update this review.

Easy to install. Great support. Would recommend.

I purchased this to put over my exercise bike seat to add more comfort and expand the seat for those of us who a little more wider bottom .It provided some comfort but it needs adjusting every time.

Nice slip on pad for saddle.

Very well made. I recommend this seat. Take note: it will add about 1 inch of seat height.

A broad range of reviews for this item, which made me a bit hesitant to purchase, so offering my POV.Recommend: AbsolutelyUse Case: PelotonContext: I am using on a Peloton, which I've had for about 8 months. I am not a cyclist, road or indoor. My version of cycling, pre-peloton, was riding a cruiser to brunch or wine. So, I am not an expert cyclist, but have sufficient bike experience and the well-worn tales of cycling friends, to know that seat comfort is paramount and, sometimes elusive. I've tried the padded shorts, as well. Ok, but only solves for part of the experience. If they are in the laundry, what then?So, I gave this seat a go. It is fantastic. Cushioned in all the right spots. I no longer have the soreness in the "sit bones" to use yoga parlance. It is dead simple to attach and stays put for me. For those for whom it is not doing the job, padding wise, I would suggest evaluating your posture and weight distribution. I have spent a fair amount of time learning how to correctly "seat a bike", and you need to cant hips back and put the weight back. Same for those for whom it is moving around. I think if you get it taught and then get "seated" correctly, it should not move a lot. Mine doesn't budge no matter how hard i am going, or suffering. Once I got this down, plus this little gem of value, I was set. You can hop on, in whatever exercise kit is clean and available.I heartily recommend this seat, for Peloton use.
