How would you get your sit bones width at home?

Werkin

Sit on a double stack of cardboard, draw a circle around each impression; center to center of the dents is your actual width.

Keep in mind this measurement is only a starting point. Cycling is dynamic, contact points will move, and sit bones are not the only parts in touch with the saddle.

Ok, this is one way I didn't think of

A plastic bag full of sand works pretty well. The "tube sand" things are what I've used. They hold the indentations.

Make a saran wrap sandwich out of Silly putty, about 1/2" thick. Works like a charm, reusable and if you have kids or friends with kids you can recycle the Silly Putty. Just don't tell them what you used it for.

so many good solutions

Remember, your "sit bone" metric decreases as you lean forward into more 'aggressive' postures, so be sure to measure it thus.

I take a couple of wooden pencils , lay them flat on a hard surface like a wood chair or bench a few inches apart.

Then sit on them. Adjust them in or out until you feel them right in the center of the pressure point. Then stand up and measure.

I like this type of measurement because its actually right where you feel direct contact with your bones/nerves, regardless of butt shape.

Don't worry about it, get a recumbent. Mmm...rolling lazy boy.

Get some aluminum foil and a lightly padded chair. Put a piece of foil on the chair and sit on it. And then what Werkin said.
