Myth: A bike saddle cushion, also known as a bike seat cover or gel bike seat cover is little more than extra cushioning between you and your saddle.
Reality: Assuming you use a medium/high density open-cell foam bike seat cushion like the Komfy Bike Seat Cover, which not only supports your sit bones, but also relieves soft tissue pressure and other discomfort when on your indoor cycling bike (spin bike), mountain bike or road bike.
Myth: The thicker and squishier the bike saddle cushion the more comfortable.
Reality: Your ideal bike seat cover depends on what you will be doing. If you are doing a casual ride around the park, a inexpensive gel seat cover may do the trick. If you need a higher performing bike saddle cushion to protect your underside against bumps on a trail or the constant up and down of an indoor cycling class, you need to look for a multi-thickness and multi-density bike seat cover with a long comfort channel to provide the protection and shock absorption where it counts.
Myth: Gel bike seat covers help support your weight.
Reality: Gel bike seat covers do not provide the ability to "push back" against weight to prevent the gel from "bottoming out" (resistance to compression). Gel bike seat cover are just simply too soft, fluid and lump over time which is why no high-end bike saddles or cycling pads (chamois) use gel.
Anatomic: Shaped according to the rider's anatomy, rather than flat.
Antibacterial: Bike seat cushions made with materials that prevent the spread of bacteria, fungi, and some viruses.
4-way Stretch: The material covering used in the bike saddle cushion moves in all directions to help prevent bunching and binding.
Moisture Wicking: Uses technical synthetic fabrics to speed moisture transfer away from the body to keep your dry.
Multi-density: The foam in the bike saddle cushion is denser in certain places, usually under the sit bones and softer in other places (like the front of the seat).
Multi-thickness: Bike seat covers made with variable amounts of padding - thicker under the sit bones and slimmer in the sensitive perineal region.

Received my Komfy premium seat cushion today and immediately put it on my Peleton bike. Best purchase I've made in a long time (besides the bike). Can't wait to ride tonight and now my parents to use my bike when they need as well! Thank you Komfy!
Great seat cover! If you ride you know how uncomfortable the seat can become especially on those long rides. This seat cover is perfect. Stays in place very comfortable! This is NOT one of those crappy gel seat covers. I highly recommend this seat cover!!!
I recently bought a spin bike and instantly realized I could not sustain with the hard seat. The Komfy gel seats makes a huge difference.
Awesome cover! Saved my tush from the Peloton seat. 😊
Very happy with this purchase, really helps with comfort.
Great fit on my new peloton. Would definitely recommend.
My bum is super comfy now while riding my bike.
Definitely makes the bike seat more comfortable! Doesn’t slip around too much and is washable. As advertised!
I recently bought a Peloton and read on a blog that this seat cover was a must. This cover gives just the right amount of cushion without it being too soft. Fits on the peloton bike seat perfectly, although I have to remember to tighten it down before each ride or it ends up sideways! One of the best features is I can throw it in the washing machine, especially since my hisband and I both use it. That’s a lot of sweat!
Very pleased with this for our Peloton. Was concerned that would move around. No issue at all. Great product and arrived very fast.
This bike seat cover fits my Peleton bike perfectly and makes my ride more enjoyable! It has a terrific gel fill and is easy to wash!
Added much needed padding to my Peloton bike seat. Not very naturally padded on my backside so the extra padding from this bike seat cover is great. Very small footprint on the bike seat so it doesn’t feel bulky or uncomfortable while riding!!! Highly recommend.
This is a amazing bike seat cover seat for my Peloton! The cover stays were it should and doesn't move around while spinning. It is very comfortable and makes the Peloton seat bearable to sit on. Another important factor is the cover is machine washable and will not deteriorate from washing.
