Worksman Extra Wide Comfort Bike Saddle (13-Inch)

Bought this for my stationary bike. It fits both my hubby and myself very comfortably - we weigh 170 to 225 lbs. and what a difference from the old seat. I find that I can ride more easily in comfort. This doesn't strain my back and my legs work better. Nice cushioning. Very good product.

My wife and I took up bike riding last summer and have gone for a 10 mile (more or less) ride almost every weekend since August. We enjoy it, and I really want us to stick with it. Pursuant to that goal we have tried 5 different styles of seats trying to find comfortable ones - all of them highly rated for comfort here on Amazon. The Worksman Extra wide is the clear winner so far - so much so that I'm done buying and swapping seats for the foreseeable future.Is it perfect? No. I agree with other commenters that the nose of the seat should be narrower (thus 4 instead of 5 stars) We haven't had any problems with unwanted sliding back and forth on this seat - if you are sliding foreward you might need to raise the front a little, and vise versa. Relatively speaking it's quite comfortable - especially given our style of riding which is pretty casual. Word on the street is that the skinny seats are better for more high-performance riding, but that simply doesn't concern us - we just want to get some enjoyable exercise with as little discomfort as possible.As mentioned this seat is also the most comfortable pick for my wife who is not significantly over weight. It is pretty big saddle, but it really doesn't look out of proportion on our bikes - a cruiser, and a hybrid/mountain bike. Nonetheless, if your vanity is more important than your comfort it might bother you. On the other hand if that is the case - is your vanity better served by a skinny bicycle seat or potentially skinnier pants? Just sayin'.

I am a big guy around 300lbs. We have a few ebikes and the default seat was so I comfortable. I bought several (big, soft) seats and some were scary. If you’re big then as you pedal the seats would bend down on the sides making you off balance. THIS seat has metal for seat frame material not flimsy plastic. Also normal seats use these rods for mounting but this one uses reinforced metal. Wow, this seat is meant to handle serious weight. Comfortable, safe and sturdy.There is one con, the nose of the seat could be a little narrower which is why some people experience chafing. Just sit forward a bit and that should help a lot. Otherwise hands down best seat so far for big, beautiful people!

If you are looking for a replacement seat for your bicycle, and have a vintage cruiser, this seat WILL NOT work for your bike, and here's why:The seat is able to be adjusted, and tipped slightly forward or backward, and even though I tipped it as far back as it would tip, because of the slant of the seat, and what I will discuss in the next paragraph, with every pedal, I would creep forward ever so slightly until I was basically sitting only on the "nose" of the seat.The "nose" (area that goes between the legs) on this is so wide and so short, that it does not allow for full range of motion while pedaling, and rubs the inside of the thighs in an uncomfortable way. This was the reason why I had to repeatedly reposition myself while riding, because I kept sliding forward, which caused a lot of strain on the pads of my hands, elbows, and shoulders, because I had to use my upper body strength to try to keep myself from sliding forward. You'd have to have some kind of mutated long butt in order to pedal without sliding forward, or very wide hips and super skinny thighs to fit the "nose" comfortably.I am not quite sure for what kind of person or what kind of bike this would work other than a recumbent bicycle, or a bike where your legs are directly in front of you rather than under you. Because I kept sliding forward, I felt like I was riding a unicycle because I was directly over my pedals instead of slightly behind them.I rode with this seat for approximately 6 miles, and during this time, I kept getting more and more angry because this seat just is not for commuting. Even with the springs for shock absorption and the insane amount of padding on this seat, by the time I was done riding, everything hurt, including my butt. This seat is so badly designed that it makes me want to cry, and slap whoever greenlighted the manufacturing of such an ill-conceived product.

When I originally purchased this item I thought it was great and comfortable but that was because I was going on short 6 mile bike rides. Now that I go on 20 miles and 40 mile bike rides, this is the most uncomfortable seat ever. Yes it is wide and is ok if your not riding long distance, but after 1 hour bike ride I feel like I had a physical exam in areas I don't want to mention and it hurts real bad.The spring on the seat makes no difference as it does not compress at all. If they at least offer double or triple the cushion, then this would be a great seat, minus the useless spring setup.

This is a big seat. I did get it to fit on my bike. I took it for 2 rides, the 2nd one just in case the first one was a fluke. At first, it was very comfortable. However, the seat isn't very ergonomically shaped. My tail bone started hurting about 10 minutes in. In addition, the backs of my thighs kept hitting the seat too. It seemed well made and good quality, just not for me. I have a big butt, but I guess not big enough for this.

Truly the best seat ever. I rode a workman bike on a bike tour in New Orleans for a few hours. Liked the bike, but LOVED the seat. I need a wider seat (to match mine own) but I also just think that a wider seat makes sense for pleasure riders like myself. Who wants to have to deal with a sore bottom each time you ride more than a few miles? We had to take it to my local bike shop to swap out my seat post but the shop had one laying around and just gave it to me. Sure there is a converter kit I could have purchased (the seat did not come with one despite different statements about this in the reviews). Seat is very wide but also supportive - looks fun on my Trek.
