Memory Foam Saddle?
 

Hey, I was just wondering if anybody had ever used memory foam on their
saddle? I just got a memory foam bed and its the most comfortable thing
ever, so I think it would be really comfy. I don't know about prices or
weight, but tell me what you guys think.

Memory Foam Saddle?
 

i was in the process of trying to get a couple samples of said memory
foam to use in a saddle, but they never actually sent it to me.

I do not think memory foam would be good for saddles. You need support
off the base and memory foam would just collapse down. I have it on my
bed and it is okay there.

Memory Foam Saddle?
 

I have used memory foam in a saddle. I got a good sized chunk of the
foam used in mattresses from a friend of a friend's wife who worked at
a factory... you get the idea.:rolleyes:

The foam felt super soft and was plenty thick. The problem with it, was
that when I actually sat on it, it compressed totally flat.

Do not use memory foam. I have tried it, and it sucks. You sit on it and
it compresses to nothing. When it freezes around -1C here, it turns
rock hard. Jrduegod (or something) made a custom saddle the a closed
cell foam. Find the thread and do what he did.

Memory Foam Saddle?
 

I think the basic knowledge is this:

Memory foam = good for whole body support, bad for crotch-only support

I think it needs a lot more surface area to do what it's designed for.
With a unicycle (or bike) seat, you want support on certain areas but
not others (the midline for instance). The best seats will offer the
support where you need it but not put too much pressure on all the
other areas.

Sounds like it wouldn't be anything to invest in. I didn't think about
the support in some ares thing and it makes sense now.

Thanks guys

I ordered samples from TempurPedic before and was sent no less that
30lbs of spam/junk mail, before I was finally taken off their mailing
list. Save a tree...
