Anyone have recommendations for better seating? The seat is not very comfortable so I am wondering if anyone has purchases any other type of seat?

I added a Bell gel fusion seat cover for longer rides for short rides it's comfy enough with padded bike shorts.

My girlfriend replaced the stock seat with the Sunlite Cloud-9 Comfort Saddle, and she's thrilled with it. It's got gel padding as well as spring shocks, which gives a much smoother ride than the default seat.

I have the same problem. Which one, sold on Amazon. is preferred? I have been told that bike seats are for moving bikes and cannot be fitted to stationary bikes.

I love this seat. So comfortable, I found the "nose" saddles very uncomfortable on my lower "bits". As a woman I feel that cycle seats are not designed with our anatomy in mind!! This seat however does make a huge difference. My male friend tried the banana seat and didn't get on with it, I haven't tried it so cannot comment. I am happy with this seat and would definitely recommend it. Hope this helps. Have fun

The seating was firm it did not sag. However I did send my comments in regarding my experience - it was not favorable. I did not keep it as it was not shipped as ordered. You can see my comments. NGB

Seat comfort is key for me too after spine surgeries. Tried the Diamondback 910Sr but seat so shallow I could not stay on it - sliding off the front. The Spirit XBR55 seat was much better. The Spirit retails around $1,100 so, if in the budget, you may want to look at it.

As an avid bike rider I know there aren't many 'comfortable' bike seats. But you can get gel-filled seat covers or other cushioned covers at Amazon or most bike stores or sites. Try a wider seat as well.

You can buy cushions from various stores for rockers although they are quite expensive. I bought just a cushion for the seat.

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 think if I can get the seat stabilized it will be comfortable. Have tightend the screws as noted above. Up/down movement has stopped, but the seat still moves left to right when riding. Anyone else having this problem?

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.

Just finished putting the bike together and am having the same problem. The seat is ridiculously loose, it rotates around and flexes up and down as I'm riding. It almost seems like it's intentionally built this way. Have either of you been able to fix this problem since you posted? Or are you just dealing with it? Thanks

I find the seat quite comfortable w/o anything added. Think of a very firm hammock, if that helps.

There are other separate seats that you can buy, from other makers or companies. But as a replacement seat I have not seen one. Sorry.

I would suggest buying a new chair. These chairs are great for interim, until you can afford a better one. Made with all the care and craftsmanship of a moose poop.

I tried a seat like the one on my mountain bike and that was worse, so i am using the seat provided, but adjusted as far back as it will go and that is better, but I'm still looking for a seat that is in between a tractor seat and a regular bike seat. Hope this helps, I am riding 30 min with little discomfort, good luck. happy riding
