Hobson EasySeat Deluxe Bike Seat

The seat is great for prostate relief but the weight on the seat is too much for the crossbolt and eventually the bolt breaks and the seat pad is loose and falls off. Only the weight of my body pressed down on the pad holds it in place. If I get up off the seat the pad falls off. This has happened twice already. Its a flawed design. I'd probably be better with a single pad seat with a deep center.

The center bolt on my seat broke after just a few weeks. It is a very bad design. Any significant force on the seat from bumps or curbs will cause the bolt to shear off. Very disappointing!

this seat was definitely the solution for the pain that I was getting in the groin area. I like the adjustability for width, and the flexibility while in motion is very practical. what I think is very cheesy, is by default, this review automatically rates itself 5 stars before you even start typing. for that, you lose a star.......

I have had my Seat a couple of months now and after Riding & Adjusting, Riding & Adjusting, Riding & Adjusting I have now found the SWEET SPOT. Pure Ecstasy. The adjustments needed included, Height of Seat, Angle of Seat Tilt, Angle of Handle Bar Stem, Hood height of Handlebar. A little Rubik's Cube like with the many different available selections so don't expect a perfect result on your first try.. Just don't loose the Focus !!! I also invested in a good suspension seat post but that was just purely my choice. Love the seat.

As a person who has gone thru radiation treatment for prostate cancer I was basically looking at giving up riding. After hearing about these seats, I decided to give them a try. To be very honest they are not the most comfortable seats I have ever used, but to be able to ride again, it is worth it. The longer I have used them and made adjustments, the easier it is to ride my bike. I recommend you also get the gel pads to add comfort while riding. I would buy them again if needed

Is an ok (average) seat for comfort. No bike seat is ultimately comfortable just based upon their design. You will need the gel pads.

This seat is great; I can now bike without pressure on my prostrate. The seat feels weird at first, and it does put more pressure on my arms. I am so glad I took another reviewer's advice and ordered the gel pads; it would have been uncomfortable without them. It took a little adjusting; the main adjustment was to lower my seat, because this seat is very high.

it might work for other people but I have carpal tunnel issues. The seat put more pressure into my wrists and hands causing numbness within 4 km. I had to return and change back into a regular gel seat. Balance was also an issue as I commute and it is generally quite windy.

Works well. Time consuming to get properly adjusted. Mine did not come with any instructions on proper fit. I guess that the attorneys wanted a medical board to make the instructions. I had to ride mine several times and over 35 miles to get it adjusted perfectly. Carry the tools needed for adjustment with you until you get it right. If it hurts or gives you uncomfortable pressure it needs to be adjusted unless you are going over 10 miles. The seat is made for cruiser style bikes.

Having been scheduled for a prostate operation and its implications on my cycling, I did some research and eventually found Bicycle Seats.com. How fortunate that I found this firm, who were so caring, friendly and prompt in their response to my queries. They recommended the Easy Seat deluxe saddle for me, and offered me a full refund if I was not satisfied. If you need sincere advice, I would really recommend consulting this firm. After nearly 3 weeks of using the saddle, I am happy to report that I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I could not properly adjust the seat to my riding position. I tried several times, assembled, disassembled, and followed the fitting instructions. It has lots of adjustments and clear instructions, but just didn't work for me. I very much appreciate the return policy that allowed me to try this item. Thanks

I got this seat because of a medical condition. I have had similar seats in the past but this one is far superior. The gel pads are a very nice touch too. Well made and easy to adjust. Well worth the money.

Hi. My name is Phil Boychuk. I recently bought a dual-pad EasySeat Deluxe. I could no longer ride my bike because of pain in my sitting muscles. The EasySeat allows me to ride again. I would probably prefer that the dual pads were each wider, but I certainly like the space in the middle of the seat. That space lets me ride again. I have a cruiser-type bike for leisurely biking. Maybe fast riders like dual pads the size they are. Excellent innovation.

I purchased a Hobson Easy Seat Deluxe back in March. First of all they gave me until the end of April, due to winter conditions, to try it out or return it. I have now have plenty of time to ride with it. THIS IS THE SEAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR FOR YEARS. Not only is it more comfortable for the man's lower region (would be good for women too) but it has also been much better for my back. I find that I sit much straighter and my back isn't sore when done riding. At around 18 miles I was pretty much forced off my old seats, my butt needed a break. Just did a 20 mile ride and had no real butt pain (I did get the jell pads to put on this seat as well). After about 4 or 5 or 6 adjustments (always takes time to adjust a new seat) I now have it set perfectly. I like how it moves with you as you pedal. If you are looking for a comfortable seat one that will help with butt and back pain this is the one. I'll never go back to a seat with a horn on it again. Gets better with each ride. Was well worth the cost.

Having had a radical prostatectomy in 2015, riding a bicycle with a good standard seat was becoming more and more uncomfortable in the area of the pubic symphysis (probably due to scar tissue). With the nose of the seat gone, there is no longer any pain at that location. I think that I will probably need to use the gel pads for greater butt comfort.

I have been using this seat since I had my prostrate surgery. It is very comfortable and enjoy riding again

Hi Good Folks . . .Your new seat changed my whole riding experience . . . Now PAINLESS thanks to your “split seat” . . . I am riding again with no pain!!!

I just started using an Easy Seat II with my Bike Friday folding bike, and am very happy with it. The pressure on the prostate area is gone, and for my relaxed style of riding I don't miss the horn of a traditional seat at all. The Easy Seat II is well-suited to the upright seating position on my Bike Friday folding bike. To get optimal comfort though, it's essential to take the time to adjust the seat's width, tilt, and height with care. If you're like me an have a difficult time getting a comfortable ride on a bike, the Easy Seat II is well worth a try.

Sorry to say but I did not find this seat comfortable originally, but after buying the additional seat gel pads and changing the seat height and distance to handle bars I was able to ride my bike comfortably again without any pressure in the lower area. I give it a 3 star only because you have to buy the additional pads and adjust it quite a bit to be comfortable. Glad to be biking again.

The Hobson saddle is the most comfortable available. There is no pressure on the perineum , eliminating pain and numbness. I don't know why all bike saddles ore not made like this!

I didn't want a noseless saddle, my husband got it for me and I thought it was a bad idea. However, after adjusting the saddle on my bike post as recommended, it brought surprising relief over a classic "women's saddle." I have broken my tail bone 3 times and, as I've gotten older (55), there are disc issues (swelling, slight bulging) that have made riding a bike increasingly difficult. Adjustments I made (you can find general instructions on the web): *double checked height with my heel on my pedal and my leg almost fully extended *had to move the saddle slightly forward compared to my women's addle *had to tip the front of the saddle slightly up to avoid sliding forward on the saddle (and this also made the biggest difference in comfort) I gave the saddle three 45 minute rides to test drive it, and am happy with it. It just looks odd.

Having a difficult time with the seat. Still trying it out. dg

This seat is exactly as advertised. It's giving me immense peace of mind knowing that there is no pressure on my prostate. I got used to it very quickly and don't find the bike hard to control. A great addition to my bike.

Quick and easy installation. An immediate improvement in comfort on the first ride. Only three short rides were needed to determine the adjustments needed for a fully comfortable ride. The first for seat height, the second for front/rear adjustment and the third for seat angle.

Much Better than other noseless seats I’ve tried, which were awful. This seat, although it takes awhile to adjust it and get accustomed to using it, has been okay and does not produce the numbness I was getting from traditional seats. I get a little soreness still at the top of my thighs and probably need to raise the handlebars a tad more. At least I can get out on my bike and ride again. This is a blessing.

Delivery was prompt - thank you. Just done first 28 km ride to test the seat and was very pleased with it. Did not wear any padding on this ride and need to work out if this will help. Need to get used to the wobble. So at this point all looking good.

I had a prostate problem, the seat is recommended for any body with this problem, the seat arrived in good shape, and new and it works very well and the experience buying and using the seat is positive and I recommend this place to order from and I also recommend that seat.

High quality, great instructions, easy installations, and speedy shipment.

This seat has enabled me to ride a bike again after years of not being able to due to osteoarthritis in my coccyx. It has been great from the outset. However, I think the gel covers will enhance it even more, just wish I had known to order them at the same time to save postage and getting fleeced by customs! (Hence 4 stars not 5)The company have been brilliant. Great communication and could not have been more helpful. Would and have definitely recommended.
