This product came just as advertised and fit perfectly over my stock seat.

The pad made riding immeasurably more comfortable. I have ridden over two hours at a time and had no discomfort.

I highly recommend this product.

Nice seat, soft, but too small for the bike I ordered - Confidence USA foldable bike.

I started taking spin classes and needed some extra cushioning. For the price, it was worth it. I had to take away one star because it is difficult for me to get on the seat(maybe it's made for real bikes and not stationary?).

The dimensions of 14L x 8.8W given for this product are completely untrue. This product measures 11L X 8W. I bought it for a Townie Electra Bike Seat which is 10L x 10W. It did not fit. I does fit my husband's bike seat which measures 10L x 6W. Otherwise I would be sending it back.

We had purchased replacement (wider, better padding) seats for our bicycles. It was my fault for not measuring the seat dimensions before ordering. The gel cover did not fit on the wider seat. Our solution: we re-installed the original bicycle seats and then used the gel cover.

We're in Florida where bicycle riding IS possible in February, but the weather has been wetter and colder so we have had limited opportunities for testing the seats. So far, after getting used to the narrower seat, we do feel the gel cover is doing a good job for casual cycling. We can do a 5-mile loop around our development (without going out on a main road).

It cushions my buttocks during spinning class in the gym. It fits the bike perfectly. I recommend it!

It arrived before the bike and I suspect it is comfortable but I will never get to find out. It IS the recommended seat cover for the Convenience Foldable Stow Away Exercise Bike. It doesn't fit- not even close.

Definitely very cushioned and more than comfortable. It fits easily yet snugly on the Schwinn stationary bikes used for Cycle class at my fitness center. I've had other seat covers that were difficult to stretch over and around the entire seat. I did once forgot to tie the cord off, behind the cord locking mechanism and cord did loosen and seat popped off during class. However, with proper tying performance is everything it should be.

So sad that manufacturers now days have to fib about there product to make a sale. It seems to be about that almighty dollar rather than just selling an honestly described product. It is so frustrating to check and then double check and check again to make sure it is the correct one and find out the manufacture is NOT HONEST in the description in the first place. The cushion is a great deal with the one exception. IT IS NOT THE STATED MEASUREMENTS AND WILL NOT FIT. The manufacturer states the product dimensions as: 14 x 8.8 x 2.8 inches. THE TRUE MEASUREMENTS ARE 11.75 x 7 x 1 inches. It is not even close people and it can't be stretched that far. The worst part is, Amazon paired this product with the exercise bike I purchased at the same time. I paid $19.50 for it and now they raised the price to $25.00 I suppose they have to make up for all the returns somehow.

Before my wife and I actually purchased (2) 3x gel bicycle seat covers I read the reviews first. Seeing that sizing was important I measured our seats, which were slightly smaller than the size stated on the product description. However, when we received them and put them on they fit like a glove. I know they wouldn't ever fit a larger seat as indicated. Caution: In my opinion...it'll only fit a slightly smaller seat.
Once installed, we tried them out. (Our rear-ends were still sore from the original seats that came on the bicycles.) The gel seats felt soooo much better and improved our cycling experience by 90%. It's still doesn't make it feel like we're sitting on a pillow by any means, but it's a significant improvement.
Bottom line...we are happy with our purchase of our gel seats. To us they were worth the money.
