I bought this seat for my mountain bike and it did not fit to well on my seat.. It is comfortable and good price. I would just make sure it fits the seat your putting it on..

This works great on a riding bike so I assume it would be fine for a bike in a class.

Cycling classes can be painful on your rear. Yes, this gel cushion definitely helps. It's a bit small on my road bike though, so hopefully it will fit your cycling bike just fine. They also sell pants with cushion built into them.

I used the cushion for the bike in my physical therapy office. The patients have stated it is much more comfortable than the original seat. They have not complained since I got the gel cushion. I hope this helps.

The cushion works really well for my bike, but it fits like a glove, it's pretty small.

Hi Susan,I bought this seat a view months back and I am very pleased. It is way more comfortable than the original seat that came with my bicycle. It's extremely easy to put on and take off so it should be a pretty good choice if you're bringing it with you to a class. Only con is that it may take you a few uses to break it.Hope this helps and goodluck!

Maybe not, the uprights have fairly big seats isn't it. This one is normal size for road bike and mountain bikes. There are specific upright ones. or you can get a cruise bike seat pad. Better yet, not getting one. the butt ache will be gone in 2 weeks, just stick to it.

At the recommendation of another bike owner, I purchased the Sunlite Bicycle Deluxe Gel Seat Cover for Crusier / Excercise Bike Saddles 11" x 10" - Blackby SunLite and it was a good purchase. Good luck!

There is no cushioning. It is a hard plastic but it isn't difficult to sit on for long periods of time due to the top. You won't need a cushion. One of the purposes of this stool is to have you use your core to hold you upright. I have found that after about a hour or so, you will want to get up and move around-more so because you get sloppy and slouch not because the seat is bothering your bottom.

Try the seatstay or chainstay. Only parts I could find that didn't interfere with pedaling.

i did purchase a gel cover the one recommeded for this seat. It is a little more comforting for the longer rides. Just remember it is not a couch. It is a work out peice that unless you buy a saddle will not totally be comfortable.

I could not find a replacement seat but I did find a very good gel seat cushion that fits the seat perfectly! It's the BSTR-11-105 Medium Gel Pad and you can find it @ www.derriair.com. It is rather pricey, $45, but well worth it!

Yes! Last year I got some beautiful seat cushions from Kolhs that fit well. I started with the complete seat & back cushion but decided the chairs didn't need that much. Great chairs without as well

Yes, I had read reviews that the seat was a little hard so I ordered his seat when I ordered the bicycle. More padded and more comfortable.

Sorry I didn't keep the unit long enough to even think about a cushion size. Due to the quality of the unit, I cannot recommend using it for seating of any kind. I returned the unit I received.

I agree with Dreamer44. Most bicycle seats, including the one for the ProForm 290 SPX are uncomfortable. I bought a $20 gel seat--the extra padding PLUS time on the bike will make it more comfortable.

Yes you can buy gel pads for this seat. They add comfort and help reduce the feeling of pressure on the back of thighs. Luxury Gel Pads - Fits Hobson Easyseat and Easy Seat II Bicycle Seats

The seat is firm but it is padded. Of course you can always add a cushion if needed. I am very happy with this bike overall.

Not the most comfortable to sit on... It seems my rear is somewhat larger than the cushion but I have used it in a pinch and it was fine.

I have the same problem. Which one, sold on Amazon. is preferred? I have been told that bike seats are for moving bikes and cannot be fitted to stationary bikes.

It's not super padded, but not hard plastic either. If you find it too hard, it would be easy to get a cushioned seat cover. I did find myself sore from the seat for the first few days, but if you use it consistently, you won't notice it for long.

The seat was included, but it is very uncomfortable if you are planning to use it as a bike for any length of time.
