Would you suggest changing the seat for a more comfortable one?

The seat is pretty much the same as any other bike seat but can be easily switched. I found the original bike seat just fine.

Yes certainly.The broader the seat, the more comfortable your bum. Happy riding.

I actually ordered a more squishy one based on another reviewer's advice, but returned it as the original seat was comfortable to me. My daughter and friend also had no complaints. I weigh less than 150lbs, so don't know if that is a factor.

Dear god yes... the one that comes with it is rock hard and will destroy your butt. I am being quite serious.

Yes, the seat is uncomfortable to say the least. We tried 4 different seats and the Cloud Nine seat was the most comfortable. It is a great bike and folds easily.

It should not be a problem, however, I don't find it incredibly comfortable...I mean it's not a difference maker.

No, it is comfortable. I would suggest the wider chair. My next purchase will be one that is wider.

I think your seat is so thick and rigid. If it is, you can get a new seat which is thinner and more flexible. Look for the plastic and cheaper ones at walmart.

Increase your seat height a bit, and you should be fine. Take corners carefully. It's fun but you don't get that much real exercise.

That is a good question. I would say no initially, but would be very very easy to customize and do. Not sure a seat change would be good since the seat already is really nice. If you were looking to put a more sturdy race bike type of seat it should be easy. But considering the short amount of time you would actually sit on it, it's not worth the bother.

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.

Ditto to all of the below. There are wider seats out there which may do better.

I don't think it's very comfortable, but if your idea of comfort is being well-supported, then it is that. I bought it mainly for the design and to have an extra chair that would contrast the gushy cushions of the other furniture in the room.

My seat fit o.k. on the existing post, it was just very hard and uncomfortable to sit on

This apparatus is not as comfortable as I expected , I too am 280lbs and was not pleased with it's fit and comfort, I've gone on to inserts changeable and comfortable

I think it might be too big for you. I'm a little bit heavier and had to sit lightly. I mostly got it because of a fractured right tibia and needed the seat a little higher because of arthritis in my left knee and those raised seats were really uncomfortable

Have the same problem with mine. I agree with the others....still like the seat. Perhaps we should contact the company and they will modify the design.

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.

No, it should be comfortable for you. Plus its somewhat adjustable with seat height and handlebar height. Ended up buying a bigger seat for a little more comfort.

that was not an issue with my use . Seat in my opinon is well made (sturdy) an should accomodate most . The only issue that I can see is the with of the seat may not fit larger people but possibly trying a cushion may possibly take care of that problem . You have to try and see.

No, it is not a comfortable chair. It is easier for my husband to get in and out of but as far as comfort I would not reccomend.
