"I love this seat!!!! It’s extremely comfortable! We bought this indoor bicycle six months ago and the seat it came with was painfully uncomfortable. I was told I would get used to it, but it was not happening and I just stopped riding the bicycle. And that’s sad because that indoor bicycle was a lot of money to just sit there," a now happy customer said. "But then I saw this seat on Amazon and it changed everything! I could barely do 15 minutes without my rear end hurting but I will tell you, now that I have the seat, I can bicycle for ONE HOUR and 30 MINUTES with no rear end pain!!!!! Really I could be on the bike all day long. I just have things to do, but if I had a choice I would sit on that bike all day long!!!"

Not everybody wants a wider bike seat. The Bikeroo Bike Seat Cushion provides extra cushioning without adding expansion to the sides. It's all thanks to a molded gel cushion interior that helps pad things out down there without adding a ton of bulk to the bike. Choose from black, blue, pink and red seats. Plus, you can pick it up for $16 but only until midnight on February 23rd.

"It takes less than a minute to install, as it fits over the seat you already have on the bike," a Peloton user said. "I've done three rides since I began using the seat, and I noticed a huge difference in comfort, especially in the performance muscles (that area underneath the buttocks that gets really sore at first). It's a great seat, gel-comfort, and very inexpensive."

"This is the best seat cushion I have tried, and I have tried them all!" raved a spin instructor. "I teach several spin classes every week, and find using a cushion greatly increases my comfort on the saddle. This cushion is nice and thick, and quite supportive. The elastic underneath is really stretchy and allows for a good fit to any standard spin bike. The bonus strap for tying the seat down is a great add-on! This cushion has never once fallen off my seat. I cannot recommend this item enough!"
