My Thorogood T4 is the most comfy I've ever ridden in

Ideal, or Swaine.
i had my Ideals made with extra memoryfoam padding over the seat area, bliss!

I have a Barnsby GP. It is the most comfortable saddle. nice deep seat & big knee rolls. Everyone I've let ride in it (not many lol) comments on how lovly it is.

I love my old Falcon Hawk Event, very comfy!

I have a farrington but a VSD version, it is really comfy. The problem you have is because it is a WH saddle, E.g. not supposed to really have knee roles from all the ones I have seen, but then must make jumping interesting.

some stubben saddles I have ridden in are very uncomfy....

I have just sold an albion legend and it had to be the most comfortable saddle i've ever sat in.

Barrie Swain dressage saddle, memory foam under a doe skin seat.....anything else is like concrete in comparison.

Bates old style dressage saddle mmmmm. Ideals are pretty comfy too.

You need to be comfortable when you're taking part in endurance!

My friend's Wow was the comfiest I've ever sat in, she is built very similar to me and so it fitted me really well too. I could ride for hours and hours in that!
Ideals are the second comfiest I've ridden in (I work with horses so have ridden in a few!)
Albions are by far the least comfy IME!

Falkon Hawk Event for me

My Stubben was like sitting on a rock when I first got it.

You'll toughen and get used to it pretty quick. I bet it'll feel fine after a couple of months!

I love my Ideal VSD... could ride Genie all day in it. Also loved my Jefferies VSD.... Don't have it any more :'(

Wow saddle. I get so badly bruised in all other tree'd saddles except the WOW. Some people hate them though.

Apart from that - my freefrom (treeless) . Friend has a fhoniex and I got really badly brusied seat bones from the skirt joint, so not all treeless are comfy!
