Will this seat work for a guy (no pressure in uncomfortable places) and if not any suggestions on a replacement seat?

the seat isn't very comfortable for either sex. I purchased a gel cover for it for less than 15 bucks at Amazon that makes it comfortable enough for spinning use. I think of the seat as an enticement to do more standing up while riding and get better exercise

The seat works fine for me and for my wife. That said, there are a lot of pull-over cushions out there. It's really kind of personal preference thing.

I have been riding for years on the SUNLITE F5 (the one I recommend) without discomfort.

The seat is terrible. Took me weeks to get used to it, and by then the left pedal deteriorated, and fell off..

Our seat broke in two as well. Now I'm trying to find a replacement seat. Belen Samper, did you ever find a replacement seat? If so, where and how much did it cost you? Thanks for any help.

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.

Yup. Replaced my standard bike seat. I've got man parts and it's quite comfortable.

I found it comfortable to sit on for very short durations. Anything over 15 minutes and it was uncomfortable on my knees. My body geometry might be different than yours so I can't say how it'll work for you.

There might be cheaper options. This is acoustic foam and not very cheap. Compression resistance is ok, but you may need two layers to make it a comfortable seat.

The seat is height adjustable, so I don't think your height will be an issue. I believe it is rated for up to 300lbs. Initially, the seat my be uncomfortable but, DON'T go out and get a new/padded one. It may take a few months of consistent riding, but it WILL break in and be very comfortable.

I bought a "Cloud Nine" gel seat. Found the original seat to be very uncomfortable!

that was not an issue with my use . Seat in my opinon is well made (sturdy) an should accomodate most . The only issue that I can see is the with of the seat may not fit larger people but possibly trying a cushion may possibly take care of that problem . You have to try and see.

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.

Kristen, my husband was confined to a 'Big Man" recliner for several of his two years. We purhased the truck cushion for the express purpose of making his bottom more comfortable. It helped him a great deal...no other cushion we tried worked at all. Hope this helps you out. Shirley

The seat is uncomfortable. I wanted to change mine also but, the replacement seats I found won't fit the pipe assembly. You will have to change the whole thing to make it work. I just sit on a kitchen chair pad seat. Still not the best solution.

I don't think it would work for him. I am around 5' 4" and the seat is just ok for me but still on the low side. Also I would not like to sit in it for long stretches of time as it would get uncomfortable.

The bike seat works well for me and I have had a few prostate issues. (as mentioned) The seat puts less stress on the groin in general, so it might help with blatter problems as well. My suggestion is to get a seat from a source that will allow you to try it first. If it doesn't work, return it. Good luck.

I had a look at the pictures of the seat, but I am not really sure. Do you have an email address where I can send my email address to? Then you maybe can send me a picture of the connection on your seat and it would be easier for me to see if it would fit. Thanks!

It would certainly help. It is somewhat rigid. I sit in a Hermann Miller chair, which has a type of web design seating, not a hard seat. I have had this product for at least a month and the only drawback is the slight odor it has when it gets warm. I put a towel on it and it solved the problem. Hope this helps.

Gel seats are not the answer. I wasted $30 on one. They mess with the height and make you sit taller. In my case I cannot find a comfortable height when using a gel seat, plus it never stays fully secure and moves around. To me the solution was one of the new noseless cycle seats. I have a Schwinn No Pressure Bicycle Seat It is still uncomfortable because of lack of cushioning but it eliminates testicle pain for sure, however this machine also causes knee pain, so you eliminate one but still have the other. I am going to try a Spiderflex seat next and see if it is more comfortable.
