"Excellent Replacement Seat"

My wife and I both have the same bikes, with very similar setups. We both needed replacement saddles around the same time, so I did my homework and purchased two of these Schwinn Pillow Top saddles. What a difference! No more sore rear end! Don't be fooled by the "pillow top" desciption - it's just marketing. It's not "soft" like a pillow. The seat is firm, but comfortable enough for long rides, with a stable frame and well matched springs. The split down the middle of the seat is functionally effective without making the seat feel odd. It doesn't feel like there is a major section of the seat cut out. Also, it's not really a big, wide, oversized seat like a lot of the "cruiser" marketed seats. In other words, it doesn't look out of place or dorky on our hybrid street/trail bikes. I would definitely recommend buying this replacement model from Schwinn. 5 stars

"Like Sitting In Your Favorite Chair"

Great replacement seat if you get at all uncomfortable while riding. The seat is wide and cushy, giving plenty of support to the places where we need it most. Looks good too, not overly enormous. I ride a Schwinn bicycle, so it looks like it belongs. I definitely recommend this seat! 5 stars

"Very Uncomfortable and Made of Rubber"

I realize other people gave this item great reviews, but I believe they are incorrect. First of all it is NOT a pillow-top, NOT soft at all. The material they used on the seat is like a thick rubber tube, NOT like the picture shows. The picture looks like it would be a nice soft fabric, this is NOT the case. As far as comfort goes, my stock seat is better than this one (specialized comfort seat). Maybe the other reviewers weighed less than I do. I weigh 200 lbs and found this seat to be very hard, stiff and it became very hot in just 15 minutes of riding. it did not protect the sensitive area of my body (men know this area) and it began to hurt very quickly. I would NOT recommend this seat to anyone who weighs more than 175lbs. I returned this seat and purchased a Cloud 9 instead, which is far superior seat. I hope this review helps someone that is really looking for a comfort seat. 1 star

"So much comfort, so much support"

Be relieved, those days of feeling like your being assualted by your bike seat is over. This seat is ultra comfortable, and it's wide so you have ample support. The instructions are kind of hazy, but luckily you can just slip the whole seat in, and take out your old one.
Hope this review helps. 4 stars

"Saved my rear!"

This bicycle seat is great compared to the standard one that came on my cruiser bike, which caused my booty great discomfort.

I was so happy to switch it out for this one. I would not really call this pillow top. It's not that soft, but gives just enough to give you hours on a bike with no sore booty.

I would buy it again! 5 stars
