Custom saddle for buttocks?

Hi

* This is a genuine post, thank you. *

I have an ailment that means my buttocks are not of equal size. It's
not a huge deal because only part of your bum rests on a saddle, but I
want to be more comfortable.

Can anyone suggest a seat which I could easily butcher myself (to
reduce one side), or a seat cover/ padding. I am looking for something
where I can get at the filling without completely destroying the
outside of it? Any ideas.

Saddle covers are available with a gel pad, the idea is you pull them
over a notionally uncomfortable saddle. I imagine you could selectively
butcher one of those without costing yourself too much (Google suggests
Sainsbury's have them at £3.99, for example).

Have you tried a naan bread? I find that they are just the right shape and
are available in a variety of sizes.

Is it a good swap?

It's the bony bits you sit on that really matter for saddle fit and
comfort - no amount of squidgy or high-tech padding will make up for
the basic width and angle being wrong.
