Not a good idea. A hard, well shaped seat is better on your ass than a pillow on a post. All that padding will disappear and start to pinch your soft padding after awhile. It is like back problems caused by soft matteresses. It might sound counterintuitive, but it is the same principle that makes a Brooks work so well= a hard saddle built to fit.

BTW- chicks DIG saddlesores... especially as they fester and ooze pus! Why are you 'fraid of lycra? Stick a potato down the front if you can't fill them out properly.
