Memory foam vs gel seat on Grom?
Hi all, I’ve been trying to decide on a seat comfort upgrade for my Grom because even short commutes and longer weekend rides are starting to feel more uncomfortable than I expected. I keep going back and forth between memory foam and gel seat pads. From what I understand, memory foam is meant to shape more closely to your body and feel better on shorter rides, while gel is often advertised as better for spreading pressure on longer rides.
What makes it confusing is how differently these are described across Amazon, eBay, and Alibaba listings. Some claim “high density orthopedic foam,” while others simply say “comfort gel layer,” with very little detail on actual density or material quality.
If you’ve actually used either on a Grom for a few months, how did it hold up for you? Did it flatten out, get firmer, or stay the same with daily use?
