SchwinnSchwinn Comfort Bike Saddle

First seat ever that was actually comfortable. I raised the handlebars for a more upright position which dialed in the seat. If you’re having discomfort on long rides, this is your seat.

Very ugly. But my butt likes it. It is comfortable and very ugly.

This seat is very comfortable a big change from the huge seat that is stock for the old Schwinn airdyne. I gave it 4 stars because it could be a little wider. I’m not that big and it seems like it would be perfect for a child’s rear end.

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.

This seat isn’t the best, nor the worst. I’d honestly rate this 3.5 stars. I’m stuck in the middle. I expected more comfort. I was on the fence.. return or not return? Here’s the story.My husband bought me a new bicycle for spring. I ordered one here, but delivery was a nightmare, damages occurred, so we got one that came assembled elsewhere.It’s a mountain bike, and the seat was insanely narrow and uncomfortable to sit on. I literally had bruising on my upper thighs and pain ‘down under’, after one day of use with my kids.I have a cruiser, but I wanted a mountain bike for camp trails, greater speed, and to also pull my huskies using the bike tow leash I have. You can’t use that with a cruiser bike. You need something more rugged. Despite its good looks, the seat that came with that bike, it HAD to go! It was God awful.This seat seemingly has a gazillion reviews, many positives, and it fit the bill, matched my bike and would allow me to sit up straighter, which is what I want. Like a hybrid mountain bike/ cruiser in one. Cruisers sit you upright and are less taxing on bad backs like my own.So, the verdict? It DID fit my mountain bike. That was a plus, because that I was uncertain about. Do i slide a bit forward using this seat? A bit. The front piece AKA ‘the bulge’ in front of the seat makes it a bit uncomfortable ‘down under’, but not close to as bad as the other mountain bike seat was. I honestly wish it wasn’t there. I don’t know why it’s there.I hope I can raise up the handle bars a bit so it helps with that issue. I’m not sure if that would still be an issue on a cruiser bike, but it might since none of my cruisers ever had that bulge there at the seat like that. I’d think for a boy that would be even less comfortable, but who knows? That’s purely speculation.In conclusion, the bike seat is attractive against the white color of my new bike. It’s wider to sit on and slightly softer. Not as soft as expected though. I was thinking it would be like a real soft, memory foam feeling fit, but it’s not nearly as comfy as that.I don’t know if this seat has memory foam in it. It’s possible, but if so, I really don’t feel that kind of comfort, like a cozy pair of slippers that hug your feet with an insane amount of comfort. This, by far, isn’t that kind of comfort, but a step up from a rock hard seat, it most certainly is, and the wide bottom on a mountain bike is a pretty cool option. I’ve gotten no bruising since, which is telling. That was just awful without it.So yeah, I do like this seat, but it’s not nearly as good / comfortable, as my expensive cruiser bike seats are. I guess since I have those to compare them too, I could be slightly bias. Maybe if I didn’t have that to compare it to, I’d be a bit more impressed by this seat, but it’s OK! It keeps me safe down below, and hopefully, if I can lift the handlebars, I’ll be even more comfortable.Better with than with the former. That’s for darned sure. I hope you found my review to be helpful :)).*ps- the seat is a Schwinn seat and the bike is of that same brand- just for reference.*
