I've used the Heather Moffet Seat Saver for years and it has been worth every penny! Makes your bum stick like glue [they are suede covered] and the memory foam used is like sinking into a soft pillow. They are quite expensive but really are worth it.
Don't know what the cheaper Robinsons ones are like though.
I have a Mattes 'platinum' seat saver, it's like half a dead sheep - apparently designed for endurance riding. It was expensive but I absolutely love it, even my old saddle - which was a proper a*se cracker - was comfy with it. I borrowed a cheapy one from a friend for a while and it was no good at all. I'd say if your saddle is seriously uncomfy, splash out for a HM, dead sheep or similar.
I have 3 seat savers,all Heather Moffet Seat Savers .
There well made and I always use one on treed sadles,I have one for treeless sadle too,but its rare I use that one because the sadles are fine without{if Im doing a all day ride I will use the seat saver on the treelesss sadle}
Again totally recommend the Heather Moffatt. I love mine and I suffer a bad back too. I've only got a little wintec saddle so they are perfect for making them more comfortable. If I had a nice expensive leather saddle i might not bother.
I've just got a HM one of ebay because I have a bad back, I havent been able to try it yet as my chiropractor has told me to stop riding until my back get stronger. Looking forward to using it though.
I made a fluffy seat saver for my treeless. Recycled an old coat with a fluffy lining. Have recently made a waterproof ride on cover out of an old tent fly sheet cost 30p for elastic!!.
I agree about the Heather Moffat seat saver, would recommend it, so good I even bought the Heather Moffat saddle pad for my horse, so he is comfey too.
