Hello recumbent users.
Greetings from Portugal.

Last year I purchased a used recumbent bike and entered the recumbent world.

I had to change the seat padding since it was not in the best condition.

I'm a DIY type of guy so I made the padding myself.

My seat is the recurved fiberglass type and I used a large piece of spaghetti vinyl loop mat, (since I have seen it before). I doubled it at the bottom for extra cushioning and covered it with a polyester mesh fabric (sandwich spacer cloth kind).

It ventilates, it drains, it protects my bottom... but in long distances (touring) I need something softer in my coccyx area. (I'm the thin type of guy and don't have much self-cushioning)

Did someone try the latex seat pads? (like the ones used in rowing machines)

Any other suggestions are appreciated

Ride safe
