I had a Travelcade Road Sofa (iirc Saddleman bought them out and kept producing them). I was nearly in tears at the end of my first BBG while using it. I was loath to get back on the seat again each fuel stop. I even swapped on beads, a gell pad, and the RS seat as I carried the different pads with me for the trip. The Russell was head and shoulders above my RS. It was yet another attempt to save money over the cost of a Russell that, in the long run, ended up with me spending more than if I'd done the right thing to begin with.
