Better exercise bike seat for back problems?

[SingToTheSky]

DH has a lot of back issues now as well as osteoporosis, he can no longer run and the exercise bike would be a good option. But the normal bike seat puts too much pressure on the coccyx.

Does anyone have any ideas as to where we could get a better seat? Preferably one that could replace the current one, but if we had to buy an entire new exercise bike we would.

Thanks!

Have you considered adjusting the seat rather than getting a new one (which might not be right either?). Tilting it up or down or moving it forward or back a couple of inches can make a very big difference.

If you are still around to read this post. Consider getting a recumbent exercise bike, the different seating position might help his back.

I'm a bit late too,but agree a recumbent bike would be best. Unfortunately they take up a more room than the conventional ones! I have back problems and could use one ok (at physio) until I hurt my hip/hamstring area as well. I have a cushion similar to a coccyx cushion - he might be able to use that with a recumbent bike too.
