I bought this to replace an old gel seat that I've had for about ten years and that was finally giving out on me. Right out of the packaging, this Schwinn seat looks like it would be very comfortable, but it's got a hard base underneath that makes it feel like I'm riding on a layer of wood.

Also, the product description says that it is designed for "spin bikes" and doesn't say that it's made only for Schwinn spin bikes, so I thought it would be alright to use for my Phoenix spin bike. However, it keeps moving and shifting around when I use it, even when I pull the draw strings as tight as possible. This movements ends up causing some chafing on my inner thighs, which is certainly not a pleasant thing.

I'll continue to use this since I can't return it since I've used it a few times, but I'm not that impressed with it and would suggest looking at another brand.

like most gel seats this one is comfy, but it seems to shift around a bit and i wasn't able to get it to tighten well enough to my standard bike seat... great price made up for that.

Today was the my first spinning class in about 3 years and I brought this thing along with me. I expected to be sore but I'm not. This also fit the spinner brand bike perfectly, no sliding around. I'm a big gal and this made those tiny seats manageable. I was very happy to buy this instead of buying a ton of expensive padded bike shorts.

I compared several brands at the store and this one had the thickest, yet hardest, padding. The others looked too squishy and soft and I was afraid they wouldn't support me more than a month or so before they just gave out. Only time will tell with this one.

Edit: It is still very supportive as it is holding its shape. The logo on it wore off long ago, but that's no biggie.

This product is great. I use it once a week without any discomfort after spinning. However, it is slightly uncomfortable while spinning. Additionally, it tends to shift occasionally. Overall, it is a good product, but purchase it used. My used product looked new upon arrival.

I would have liked a wider seat as the narrow seats in spin class can be brutal, but this did make me a little bit more comfortable. The seat is the same width as a typical spin bike but it is a lot softer than a spin seat... I was looking for softer and wider. 1 out of 2 isn't bad.

This would be a really good product if it fit the seat on my bike. After reading some of the other reviews, I had some doubt about purchasing this item. A lot of people were talking about outdoor bikes and spin bikes, and how the cover did not fit. I have a Schwinn Stationery bike, so I thought maybe it would fit because it was a different type of bike. Wrong answer, the width of the cover is not wide enough and the length is not long enough. I was very disappointed. I am just going to detach my seat and take it to a bike shop where I can purchase the right seat cover for it.

I felt it was a little hard/tough at first, but after I used it for a while either I got used to it or it may have softened. I love it now

The first time I tried spinning I was shocked at how sore I was in the seat area. After looking at cycling shorts (very expensive) and some other products, I decided to purchase this and am SO glad I did.

I did spinning for the second time ever only after I received this seat cover and what a difference! I had NO soreness at all! I was sore where I thought I would be sore, in my legs and not my butt!

Ever since then, I've never been sore from any spinning workout. I ended up with 2 and bring both with me to loan out to people if they don't have one.

I am also on the heavier side (for now :-)) so I wasn't sure this would be good enough support, but it is! It's been a couple of months since I started using the seat cover and still LOVE it...and I've lost 17lbs in a month. :-)

Be careful and measure your exercise bike seat. This is a narrow seat and most exercise bikes are bigger.
