An easy way to add extra cushioning to your existing bike or exercise bike saddle.
The Selle Royal Memory Foam Saddle Cover fits over your existing saddle to add an extra layer of cushioning. It's a simple option for riders looking for a softer feel without replacing the saddle itself.
Selle Royal uses Slow Fit Foam, a viscoelastic memory foam that adapts to the points where your body contacts the saddle. This helps spread pressure more evenly across the sitting area rather than simply adding a thick layer of soft padding.
It's suitable for both conventional bikes and indoor exercise bikes, with Medium and Large sizes available to suit different saddle shapes.

Measure the length and width of your existing saddle before choosing a size. The cover needs to fit securely around the saddle rather than simply matching its width.
Why Choose a Selle Royal Memory Foam Saddle Cover?
A saddle cover can be a useful option if you're happy with the general shape of your saddle but would like a little more cushioning. It's also handy on exercise bikes where changing the complete saddle isn't always practical.
If you're uncomfortable because the saddle is the wrong width or shape, however, adding more padding isn't necessarily going to solve the problem.
Our Thoughts
We'd look at this as a comfort upgrade rather than a fix for a poorly fitting saddle. If your saddle basically fits but feels a bit firm, particularly on shorter recreational rides or an indoor bike, the Slow Fit Foam can add some welcome cushioning.
If you're getting numbness, pressure in one particular area or discomfort on longer rides, we'd look at the saddle itself and your riding position before simply adding more padding.
