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.

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. -- abbabibble Cheers, Matt. maxcarriere wrote: nah, he just wants to buy the cranks to look at them and rub them on his body.. uni_jim wrote: isn't [the superbowl] like a giant dip bowl in mexico filled with salsa where everyone brings a bag of tostitos and digs in?

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. -- jrdugueod "Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jrdugueod's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12054 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58463 |

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. 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. -- jl0r ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jl0r's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4497 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58463 |

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. -- Danni leo wrote: Without cocks you wouldn't even have a family forum.

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. -- johnfoss John Foss "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com ----------------------------------------------- "pretty much every trail that we've done on the California or Moab Muni weekends is an XC trail." -- Kris Holm, on XC from a North Shore point of view ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58463 |

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.

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.
