Well...it's not specifically for the larger among us, but it has the best cushioning of any seat I've purchased. I use Brooks saddles for myself, but purchased this saddle for my ex-wife, and she found it the very best of the lot. We tried a few before this one, and the best one we have ever found was this one. I would recommend you read the reviews to see, but I think you'll be happy.

I bought this for my wife. I asked for her input as she has a large bottom also. She said although it is MUCH better than the seat that came with her bicycle, it is not great. Compared to what came on her bike it has an extra couple inches on each side and it is VERY soft in comparison, its not the wonder seat she was hoping it would be. I unfortunately don't think one exists though and this is biggest and best option that I found during my research

I, too, have a large bottom. I do recommend this seat. So get on your bike and ride.

Id reccomend it. I have a minor back problem and it doesnt bothr me with this seat. Its just not as soft as descibed but it is way better then the stock seats that bikes come with. Overall i like it and its pretty comfortable. It would be a good seat if you have a back problem in my opinion. Hope this helps.

I personally do not use this seat, but my wife does and she says that it is comfortable. Way more comfortable than the seat that came with our exercise bike. Hope this helps!

Hi! We are a similar size. I love my obus forme! Have had it for at least a half dozen years and it has saved me many times over from unbearable back pain due to poorly designed chairs, seats, work stress etc. My new PT approved it and noticed that I am wearing out a part of it due to my spinal curvature and my tendency to lean my weight to one side. So do get support for your office and travel, but also be sure to check in with a PT if you have chronic issues.

We are very happy with the Big John toilet seat. Didn't really note the one with the front opening, so can't be any help with that decision. This one works great for my husband who is a big guy and with his artificial hip, extra height helps a lot. It's much better than the 4 inch thick riser they gave him after hip surgery.

This seat is not for a BIG guy, it just won't take the considerable abuse it will get. you might look into a seat made just for such a person.

Yes. I'm 6 4 as well and have to actually put the seat down. I swear a giant could comfortably fit on this bike. Definitely go for it if you're thinking about buying it. I use it daily for at least 5 miles with zero back pain or knee pains. The only issue with being a bigger guy/gal is the footsteps come undone when you get off the bike. That's literally the only flaw

My husband loves this one. I would still buy this seat. My husband saw it at the VA and that is why I ordered it.

Is 242 lbs good enough for you. I had been riding on this saddle for two months. In regards to confort it actually surprise me. I had the idea that because the size of my rear I needed to be on wide sized saddles but I found this model very comfortable.

I'm a big guy and I fit in comfortably. I don't use the chair they sent, I got a shower stool to sit on, works great.

If you contact Paradigm they offer another seat for this bike that is smaller - not sure if better This one is large and comfortable if you plan on biking for any length of time.

Hi Heather - it is really comfortable, and doesn't dig in. I have a bit of a butt and the seat is wide at the back and narrow at the front - so its perfect. And its cushy as well! Sometimes I find myself slipping forward though that could just be my riding style!

I think this is a great seat! I average 10 to 30 mile rides with no discomfort. I did a 70 mile ride last year and was sure glad I had it. My butt was about the only thing that wasn't sore!

Yes, I have, but since I have a lumbar adjustment on my seat, I prefer it to the seat. I carry it to any event I go, even church! It does seem to help me sit straighter and keep me off my tailbone. Merle

The seat bottom is pretty narrow due to side bolster & back has side bolsters that make it tight. Try a seat that has less bolsters & less contours.

I actually ordered a more squishy one based on another reviewer's advice, but returned it as the original seat was comfortable to me. My daughter and friend also had no complaints. I weigh less than 150lbs, so don't know if that is a factor.

If you consider a 310 lb person obese (I do and it's me I'm talking about) then the cushion works well for me. I use it daily while driving my automobile. It relieves the pressure points on my butt (my obesity never reached that point so my butt has a few pressure points) for which I'm definitely thankful.
