 Bliss! March 18, 2007

This isn't as large as a cruiser saddle and it is more comfortable.
It is no bigger than the Brooks springer models; however, this Schwinn is lighter and far better. The Schwinn has no hard edges and it actually helps circulation rather than what usually happens with a larger saddle.
What a nice difference!
As for mine, I caused it to support a performance riding posture (headfirst--road style) by removing the tiny screws from the front, drilling 3 large holes underneath at the front, fishing some foam out of the "horn" through those holes underneath, and then having the springs removed. None of this was difficult except for removing the springs (re-form the rails was the hard part).
This saddle is so shock absorbing that it doesn't need springs, and road bikes don't climb hills when heavy. The result was a 589 gram comfort saddle that works for long distance rides, such as 100 to 200 miles or so.
The slight extra weight of this saddle was certainly worth its facilitation for riding 3x the distance. It is about half the weight of other saddles this size. It was easy to make up for the weight with some nice wheels, so performance was actually improved all around.
That's size 4 (small cruiser, large mountain). It won't "friction" your legs.
For a road bike (if Terry Cite X isn't enough) just go ahead and use it (adaptation to soften the "horn" described above). Sure, this looks different, but go with what works. And this saddle certainly does work! You won't need temperature-hot padded shorts. Having the padding in the saddle instead is a great way to stay cool in the summer.
It does not need any modification to use it with a hybrid or mountain bike. Pop it right on and bliss is yours.
This item is a highly-recommend for distance cycling or for those who want more distance. Time in the saddle is key, and this one is a nice place to be.
 Schwinn Pillow Top Bicycle Seat October 14, 2007

I keep searching for the truly comfortable bicycle seat. This seat is good - much better than the last seat - but not yet perfect. If anything the seat is too narrow [I am not overweight ~150 lb] and the center crotch is too high.
Best Bike Seat May 7, 2007

After trying different seats and gel cover settle down on this one. It is best of both world comfort and size. You don't want small and cushion seat but little wide, cushion and light weight for hybrid bikes. (I go on road more) I am new to biking but it takes 1 week to know what is best for you..buy it
About as good as it is going to get, I think June 5, 2008

This is about the best product I have experienced as far as bicycle seat comfort goes, but I can only compare it to what came on the bike (ugh) and the Bell GelTech Ultimate Comfort Bicycle Seat, which was only slightly better than the factory installed seat and not very well made. This one is much better, but don't think it will give you the level of comfort you get on your comfy sofa at home (you are on a bicycle, after all), because you will be disappointed. However, considering you are indeed bouncing along on a bike and the area where you place your derriere has to be reasonably proportioned, this Schwinn Pillow Top is a good choice. You can definitely feel some cushion and it seems to be well made. I have only taken one fairly long ride on it and when I got off the bike that particular area of my physique still knew full well I had been on a bike for a while, but I did experience a noticeable improvement comfort-wise as compared to prior trips of similar duration. I fully beleive this one is about as good as it gets.
Much more comfortable than stock seat, but adds some height... August 31, 2007

I bought this based on feedback I found here at Amazon. The seat is significantly more comfortable than the stock seat. I had no discomfort riding a couple of miles each day while vacationing on Cape Code. The only thing to note is that the seat adds a couple of inches to the height. Not a problem for most as you can simply lower the seat post, but in my case I've got a child seat setup and am not able to lower the seat at all.
