Did something change? I used to have one of these and I remember it being very stiff and almost uncomfortable, but reviews are saying it's super flex

This product is made of anti-bacterial Sil-A-Gel formula which gives a realistic softness to the exterior.

I don't know if it's really stiffer on mine, but it does definitely not go down as far for obvious reasons. How stiff are you talking?

It is probably the weight. The old ones felt heavier than these. The change to the new Diamax material is probably the cause.

Nope. My GF, uses it with the correct exerciaes and it got firmer and toned in.

Yes, this was a gift for my daughter-in-law, who had been looking for one for years, so I emailed the question to her. This is her reply: Yes, its pretty tight...probably my Mom's from 1960 is a bit tighter, but not hugely so...

i had the same problem so i had it brought it to the bike shop. i share all the sentiments of michael b. not only that, the seat is very stiff and provides a very uncomfortable ride. i can only last a few minutes. the bike is hardly used.

I haven't had this one that long. My original one was similar I got in rehab in 2002 still have it. When using heavier compression stockings it could compromise it but I cannot use some of those new donners because you need more agility than I have.

I would call it firm squishy. When I first sat on it, the slight tilt and firmness made it feel stiff but not like a hard plastic. In about 2 days I was totally unaware of the firmness and the tilt. It really helped my back and buttocks. Now after about 6 months, I can feel the softness but it has not lost its shape or usefulness.

Mine is a little stiff. I think it's suppose to be so it doesn't move by accident.

Regular flex...not stiff, not senior. I would have preferred stiff flex but it wasn't available.

I am not sure? It seems to be pretty flexible - but yet it is firm at the same time. If you really like the style, I say give it a shot...you can always return it if it doesn't fit.

It's really stiff, I snapped it on and since then have not removed it bec Iam afraid I will break it if I do, sorry I know that's not a great answer

I know exactly what your talking about. Mine kinda did the same thing. Try rotating the knuckle the full 180 degress a few times and it should loosen a little bit. I think it will always feel a little stiff.

I would say it is fairly stiff. My son is a big man and he does not like it because he says it has a bar across the middle that pokes him. I am just a regular woman and I don't feel anything. It does not sag. Good luck.

It is pretty stiff all the way through. That is OK to me; however, the curve of the cushion is too high to give me enough support in my lower lumbar, where my problem is. It is not really triangular shaped like others I have, but is almost even across, like a rising sun or something, if that makes sense. Hope that 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.

I am at 5 (right in the middle), but think it is still a little *stiff*. Shop had set them to 1!
