I began my research by interviewing bicyclists, gym and spin class enthusiasts who simply were not happy with their bicycle and exercise bike seats. we then ordered a dozen of the most popular seat cushions from local bicycle stores and some from . we dissected and cut open most of them to get a better understanding of the anatomy of a seat! all the cushions used molded foam. this is the easy way out. it is 30% cheaper and there is hardly any labor involved in sewing the fabric. the main disadvantage of this closed pore foam is that it still feels hard when you ride. we tried to get the foam that we wanted from outside the country, but we did not have any luck as most suppliers wanted us to buy the stock foam. we sourced a custom density open cell foam from a local USA foundry that will absorb the road vibrations and at the same time not feel hard on the sitting bones. custom made liquicell membrane is then placed on top to protect our sensitive skin tissues from breaking down and optimizing blood flow. riding now is less tiring and an enjoyable experience. see the liquicell video. the biggest challenge we had since the foam was not molded is that it needed special manual double stitching. after several months of trying different stitching methods, we finally were able to come out with what we consider the best bicycle seat cushion out there! yes, we double stitched it and use a waterproof cover and adjustable drawstring for an easy fit. two sizes available. also available, a whole line of ergo21 seat cushions for car, trucks, home and office.
