This bike seat makes it much more comfortable to exercise.

Four Stars

I have an older version of Inspire CS-2. The seat is a cross between a square seat and a bike seat. The Zacro Exercise Recumbent Bike Seat Cushion, Extra Wide can be placed either frontward or backward -- the gathering strings with lock are easier to adjust if in the front. It completely covers and cushions the protruding part of the original seat making for a more comfortable ride. I recommend it for its portability, comfort, and ease of installation. I believe it will last a long time because it is well-made and doesn't move while in use.

The seat fit perfectly on my recumbent bike. It is comfortable and has helped my hip and back pain.

I am soooo glad I found this bike seat cushion. I need to use recumbent bikes now for exercise so go to the "Y", where they have many of them; however, after the first day, I was so sore from the hard, slippery seats on these otherwise high quality bikes! I'm amazed that anyone can ride them without great pain eventually! So I did my research and decided to try this one, and I'm so glad I did because it works really well. It fits easily onto the seat, tightens up great, and I feel no pain throughout the ride. I just slip it into a tote bag I found on Amazon that fits the cushion perfectly and bring it in to the gym, put it onto the bike seat and away I go. Take it off, put it back into the tote and I just leave it in my car. Problem solved!

Very comfortable for my exercise bike

This seat transformed the seat on our gyms recumbent bike from unbearable to pure comfort. It fit perfectly and changed the length of time by double that could be spent on the bike!

I ordered this seat cover as a replacement for another brand I had to return. So far, it's been great! I have an extremely large bike seat, that is a triangle style, but measures 12x16. The rectangle gel pad cover works for it. The drawstring creates a snug enough cover to provide the comfort I need to get a quality ride on my stationary bike!

Finally I got the solution for my painful stationary bike seat, this padded Zacro seat is wide and comfortable adds an extra support to the bike seat and the best part it stays in place just pull the string and there you go it’s stable and fixed doesn’t move while in use. Great choice

AAA++

This seat is quite firm, and seems well made, however there's not a lot of give. When I've tried to use the seat, it's much too firm for my liking. It is a little more comfortable than my original sitting surface, but not by much.I like that it's gel but I was hoping for a more comfortable option for my bike seat.Overall, I wanted to like this seat, but as I stated, I needed it to be a lot softer. Who knows, maybe it'll be perfect for someone who needs a firmer seat, just not me.

Got this for my Concept2 rowing machine. Due to my very boney behind, I was using a random cushion on the sliding seat which left a lot to be desired, so I got this cushion.The cushion is a bit too oversize to properly secure to my rower seat using the drawstring. About 2" on either side and 1" front and back. However, the cushion does stay in place when I'm using the rower. I removed the drawstring so it wouldn't get caught in the seat track. If necessary, you could add some velcro to hold it in place, but I find my body weight is perfectly adequate.Overall, it is well made, though there is no zipper to take out the foam so you can wash the cover in the washing machine. I imagine sponging it off with soap and water and leaving the entire thing to air dry will be fine, though. You could also just lay down a small towel to protect it.The comfort is a real upgrade. I can't emphasise this enough. If the hard seat of your rower is what's keeping you from exercising, then this is definitely your solution. It has a dense memory foam that feels like it will hold up in the long run. Your hind-end will thank you.

We have a Nautilus 616 recumbent bike that we purchased in Spring 2020 . . . in response to the COVID chaos and lockdowns. It's a great device. After the lockdowns ended, so did our use of the bike. Last June, I made the decision to join Weight Watchers, and the bike has once again become an hour of daily exercise 5 or 6 times a week.The saddle on the Nautilus is not really padded at all, and in the last couple of weeks, my tailbone has been letting me know that. So I started looking for an appropriate cushion. The Nautilus saddle is about 17"w x 12" front to back, but not exactly rectangular. Stationary bike/rowing machine seat cushions come in about three shapes, none of which are identical to the Nautilus saddle. This cushion comes the closest, although it's rectangular.The cushion is well-made, the foam is dense, and I believe it will last quite a while. It attaches to the saddle with a draw-string "skirt" . . . and this is the design flaw. The skirt presupposes that all stationary bike seats rest atop a center post, similar to a regular bicycle. Many do, but not all -- including our Nautilus. The saddle of the Nautilus (and a lot of others) rests atop two rails instead of a center post, which makes it impossible to adequately tighten the skirt to keep the cushion on the seat. A pair of Velcro (R) straps would be a much better solution for a saddle like this.Additionally, the draw-string uses a spring-loaded "cord lock" mechanism to secure the cord. The spring is of modest tension but the cord is fairly lightweight (I have shoelaces that are more substantial than this). And, worst of all, it tightens at the back of the seat instead of the sides or front. On the Nautilus, this makes it nearly impossible to completely tighten sufficiently to keep the cushion in place.So the solution I chose was to unscrew the seat from the mounting rails (four phillips screws), properly tighten the skirt around the saddle as best I could, and poke four small holes in the skirt to allow the mounting pegs to protrude (see photos). I also tied the draw-string in a knot close to the cord lock to help keep it from coming undone. There's still some potential for the cushion to move a little from side-to-side or back-to-front, but I don't believe this will happen while we're sitting on it. If it does tend to slip around during a "ride" I will use some double-stick foam tape or some adhesive Velcro (R) strips on the cushion and the saddle to prevent that.I rated the cushion 5-stars for comfort, but only 3-stars for the ease of installation. There are a couple of other cushions available here on Amazon.com which use straps under the saddle, but they are not as wide as the Nautilus saddle and not as deep from front-to-back either. I'm trusting that this cushion will work satisfactorily as I have installed it (within minutes of receiving the Prime next-day delivery). I'll come back in a couple of months with an update, if necessary.On a separate note, the acumen of Amazon.com's shipping employees leaves a lot to be desired -- or they simply just don't care. This cushion comes sealed in a plastic ziplock bag. The cushion measures almost 17x12x2 = 408 cu. in. and weighs maybe 18-24 ounces. It was delivered in a box that measures 22.5x18.5x12.5 = 5,203.125 cu. in. . . . more than 8 times the volume of the cushion. Wasted cardboard, wasted sealed air bags inside (that I have to dispose of). This could have been delivered in a large Prime envelope or a much smaller box. Hey! Bezos! Are you listening?
