Schwinn Schwinn Comfort Bike Saddle

Great padding for the bottom. Feels great on the cruising ride, and pretty durable as well. Definitely worth the buy.

I ordered this for my wife's beach cruiser bike. Her biggest issue when going on long bike rides was that the seat that came with it was uncomfortable. Having gone through a quest to find the right mountain bike saddle, I knew that not all seats are created equal, but since we don't have a bike shop nearby I was going to have to rely more on customer reviews.So I searched on Amazon and read up on a few different seats, but this was the one that I felt got the most glowing reviews, especially for people who are riding bikes like my wife's - just a simple cruiser for easy riding. If you're on a mountain or road bike this seat probably won't be your first choice... but then again if you're on one of those you're probably not reading this. But for a relaxing bike ride on a cruiser, this seat has been perfect.Installation was easy, I only needed a small crescent wrench to put it on and adjust it. Once it was on my wife took it out for a spin. Me being me, after about 5 minutes I wanted a full product update. She just shrugged and said it was better than her old seat, at least she thought so, but maybe we could find a pad for it to make it even more comfortable. Hmm, not the glowing review I expected, but having experience riding on the wrong saddle for too long, I knew that sometimes it takes a few days for our rear ends to get over the punishment from having the wrong support.A couple of days later she and my daughter went on a long bike ride while I was at work. Her first words to me were that her seat was incredible (ah, there's that glowing review!) and that she was comfortable the entire way. Usually within about 1/2 mile or so, her old seat began getting uncomfortable, but on this seat she rode an entire 4 mile trip without any discomfort whatsoever. She said it felt like she could have easily kept going without any discomfort, it was that comfortable - no additional pad needed! She really loves going for bike rides now... it's amazing what being able to ride comfortably can do to really improve your enjoyment of a good old bike ride.If you're looking for a comfortable wide-style bike saddle, this is a solid bet. For the price especially, you're going to find it hard to beat.

Bought this for use on a Joroto brand stationary bike and had no problem installing it. This is the second seat I've tried on the bike other than the original and both have their pros and cons.For this one, I do love the noseless design. As someone who likes to ride sitting upright it is very nice for that while still providing enough support to lean forward for short stints. It installed very easily and the bolts secured more quickly than my first seat. I am one of those people who the nose of the bike tends to put too much pressure on sensitive areas so this noseless design is amazing and really does feel better in that regard.However, it is a bit firmer than I'd like and could be slightly bigger, maybe half an inch in either direction. Though it's an "extra wide" seat, it's a few inches narrower than my hips and I have to sit slightly off the back to feel fully supported. It also doesn't seem to be able to tilt up and down like the nosed seat I had before, which would be a nice option since it is tilted slightly forward.I love that this design is available and do feel quite comfortable for most of my less than hour long rides but there are a couple improvements I would make.

According to Amazon, I bought this Schwinn noseless comfort seat in December of 2015, and am just now (April 2021) buying another because there was a killer deal plus a coupon so I wanted to have a spare stashed. For the last few years, I've ridden my exercise bike (Schwinn 126) an hour every morning, 18-19 miles in crosstraining mode at 13/16 resistance - but it took me a while to work up to that.So, after nearly six years of steady use at increasing lengths of time and intensity, the old seat is just now starting to show its age. The vinyl is starting to crack a bit at the front, not all the way through, just that top layer, a shallow network of small cracks. I'm thinking that the foam is probably pretty beat down by now too, but it's still comfortable. Honestly, if the deal hadn't come up, I wouldn't have given a thought to replacing it yet. The bike is indoors, right next to a large window that's nearly always open, so that's exponentially more sun exposure than a bike seat that lives in the garage or hallway.The advice from others to position the seat a bit further back than usual correlates with my experience. Also, you can ignore that diagram showing that this style of seat is most appropriate for an upright or slightly bent over riding posture; I ride in every position from standing on the pedals and upright to full-on crouch, and this seat works fine. In fact, for me, the comfort aspect of a noseless seat is even more pronounced in full crouch/grind/beast mode.I think this seat is what helped me increase my rides, because I remember climbing off the old seat after a workout and going to the bathroom and WOW did that hurt, like "do I have kidney stones" kind of fire. Haven't had that since I got this seat, although I've experienced it a few times when I've ridden an actual bike with a typical bike seat for a half day or so. Maybe I'm just tender down there, it sure as heck ain't extraordinary proportions.A noseless bike seat DOES take some getting used to. Among other things, because there's no central nose, once your butt reaches the front edge you could slip off. If you take your hands off the handlebars, it may take a bit more core stability to keep from sliding too far forward. I think at one point I adjusted the tilt to prevent slipping forward, but that was a long time ago.Bottom (ha!) line: this is my ideal bike seat, proven by my buying a second before the first one wore all the way out just to make sure I'd have one on hand.
