Abstract: A contoured bicycle saddle includes a saddle shell formed with an insertable seat panel that may be custom formed to fit a particular rider's anatomical features. The rider's anatomical features are molded in a saddle shell fixture, a seat panel is fabricated from the molded features, and the seat panel is permanently inserted into the saddle shell. The saddle shell, having the inserted seat panel, may then be covered with a saddle cover or pad as is known in the art. The saddle shell is formed from a high-strength, light-weight polycarbonate resin that is equipped with standard saddle-mounting hardware for easy installation on a standard bicycle seat post.

Abstract: An improved pillow that deforms when rested upon to provide optimum orthopedic support is described. It is made of a single piece of foam plastic and possesses two parallel bolsters that are of different thicknesses. When rested upon, the pillow deforms such that the side on the bottom is flat with the sleeping surface.
