Customer Reviews of Obus Forme Gel Seat
Customer Review: Misleading, not a gel seat pad
Summary: 2 Stars
I received this yesterday and it certainly doesn't look like the main photo above, as others have mentioned. I had expected that, and tried it on a few short car trips, hoping it would be very soft and conforming. While the middle portion is softer, that leaves the firmer front edge pressing into the underside of your thighs. The cushion didn't seem to really conform or be gel-like, so I don't think it is likely to ever look like the manufacturer's photo.
In order to understand how it was made, I unzipped the outer cover. You can see this on the photos I've uploaded above. There is an inner knit bag containing a foam rubber cushion with a recess in the middle where a soft rubber mesh is glued. No way does the soft rubber mesh meet my definition of "gel." It does allow your rear end to sink down into the cushion, but they could just as easily have contoured the foam rubber or used softer foam rubber. Using a "memory foam" would probably be the best, but that isn't what this is.
Because I haven't found anything better, I actually cut open the knit bag and cut/tore the foam away from the front edge to taper it and hopefully eliminate the pressure on my thighs. Haven't tried it yet, but if it works much better, I'll add to this review.
