walhonding300 53 Posted October 24, 2023 So I have an issue sitting on stiff, uncomfortable seats for any period of time. A certain common medical condition relating to the "rear end" becomes inflamed. Does anyone have a seat cover or cushion they use or recommend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,619 Posted October 24, 2023 How old is the seat on your wheeler? I have to say, new Honda seats aren't THAT expensive and you'd be amazed and how much softer they are than one that is several years old. I recover my own seats, so mine are mostly old and stiff, but I've had to buy a new one or two over the years for projects, and a new factory seat might be night and day difference for you if your existing seat has many years on it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadetree 5,884 Posted October 24, 2023 a new honda oem seat will set you back about 100 bucks...give or take. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
walhonding300 53 Posted October 25, 2023 It has a brand new seat on it. Was put on before I bought it. Its a cheaper amazon purchase I am sure. I am just looking for something comfortable I can put over it to help out a little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen people get old neoprene waders and restuff the seat, then use the neoprene as a cover. It was a bit softer than the vinyl that comes on the factory seats. Perhaps go to your local fabric store, buy some new foam that is softer, cut and shape with an electric knife using the existing foam as a template, and then cover with neoprene or a softer material than vinyl.

walhonding300 53 Posted October 25, 2023 Neoprene is a good idea. I know some compamies back a cover you just stretch over the existing seat that have a little padding. just wondering if anyone has tried any of those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted October 25, 2023 One of my 300 seats is made of memory foam like a pillow , it's OK ------ I have the jigsaw that cuts foam , did it myself , but did most of the cutting with a electric fish cleaning knife --- other than doing a custom foam job under the vinyl , can't think of anything else that would be good ----- maybe get your aunty to crotchet a bon-bon thingie !

_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted October 25, 2023 This is probably way off but.... if your sliding on the seat (and that's causing problems) you have now, a moose seat cover will help stop that...... I think someone here posted about a seat cover they had gotten... one I've never heard before I saw the post... I'll bump it up for ya..... I never would have thought of memory foam... (nice.) I like that idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It didn't feel as good on my rear as a regular seat. The one someone had recovered with some neoprene waders was kinda nice on the tush though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
