Anyone have recommendations for better seating? The seat is not very comfortable so I am wondering if anyone has purchases any other type of seat?

I added a Bell gel fusion seat cover for longer rides for short rides it's comfy enough with padded bike shorts.

My girlfriend replaced the stock seat with the Sunlite Cloud-9 Comfort Saddle, and she's thrilled with it. It's got gel padding as well as spring shocks, which gives a much smoother ride than the default seat.

Hi Thinh, it could be a little on the small side to be honest. I would recommend to get a Pro which is going to be much more comfortable because it has a much bigger frame and bigger seat. Hope that helps! Cheers Denis

You can buy cushions from various stores for rockers although they are quite expensive. I bought just a cushion for the seat.

I find the seat quite comfortable w/o anything added. Think of a very firm hammock, if that helps.

The seat is not uncomfortable, but we purchased it for my husband who had mobility issues. He could not sit back on it enough to do any good, so he never did use it.

Yes, I just got my bike and the seat wobbles a lot. I crammed some cardbd in where it appeared to be wobbling, but it only improved a bit. Does anyone have any suggestions???

Ours lost the majority of the comfy feeling in the first 3 months of ownership. We wound up throwing it out and wasted 400.00 dollars. See if they will take it back with a credit. Good luck!

I believe the opening to be A BIT larger than the standard seat it replaced. But the one it replaced was not open in the front. What makes it most comfortable for large adults probably makes it uncomfortable for children under 12. But I doubt if it is any less safe than the standard commode seat.

The seating was firm it did not sag. However I did send my comments in regarding my experience - it was not favorable. I did not keep it as it was not shipped as ordered. You can see my comments. NGB

Id reccomend it. I have a minor back problem and it doesnt bothr me with this seat. Its just not as soft as descibed but it is way better then the stock seats that bikes come with. Overall i like it and its pretty comfortable. It would be a good seat if you have a back problem in my opinion. Hope this helps.

Just finished putting the bike together and am having the same problem. The seat is ridiculously loose, it rotates around and flexes up and down as I'm riding. It almost seems like it's intentionally built this way. Have either of you been able to fix this problem since you posted? Or are you just dealing with it? Thanks

As an avid bike rider I know there aren't many 'comfortable' bike seats. But you can get gel-filled seat covers or other cushioned covers at Amazon or most bike stores or sites. Try a wider seat as well.

Sorry, this one is too small. You may want to include in your search a large or extra large toilet seat. It seems to me when I was searching for this one I did come across some large seats. Wish you luck.

do you remember where you got your stadium seat? I did a quick search online and couldn't find anything that looked child-size. It sounds like a good idea and I think I would like to try it out.Thanks for responding!

WOW-yes I do, I really had to look. I wonder what that is all about. I love the seat, works great. I have them on my other toilets, but I bought them somewhere else and paid around 90 for each. I have had mine for a few months now. Keep me posted as to what you do. I will contact the seller myself....Thanks

Yes,I agree with your concern;It's been almost 2+ months since I own this Schwin 170,it is an excellent bike & it's a smooth ride!!! but one thing I don't like it's the seat,it's not comfortable at all ...too cumbersome /Big.

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.
