I also bought an AirHawk (
www.rohoinc.com). This is the bomb! Used it a couple of weeks ago on a ride from Atlanta to Orlando and back - roughly 10 hours each way. NO PAIN! I highly recommend it. The new cruiser size is just right for the Bergman 400.
I looked at the website. There are 3 cruiser sizes (small, medium, large). Any idea which size you have? The Airhawks are expensive, but Doug Collins had one at Scootercade and he likes it a lot. Texas Scooter Girl went the Walmart route like Ted & we get good feedback from both. It would be interesting to see the two products side by side to see if the extra cost seems worth it. From what I understand, the AirHawk is better looking, doesn't have a retaining strap, and comes in several sizes. I'm not sure if the Walmart cushion comes in more than 1 size.
Anyway, I think the price different is huge. So a good plan might be to buy the Walmart cushion and see if air flotation does the trick for you. Heck, at $10 to $15, it isn't much of a risk. They both work on the same principle, so if you found it comfortable you could move up to the AirHawk later on if you like the design, sizing, and looks better.
