True indeed, steer well clear of gel saddles or anything described as a "Mattress" saddle. A saddle should be firm enough not to bottom (Geddit!) on it's base when you sit on it and should be wide enough to support your sit bones. It should also be dead level, none of this nose up or nose down stuff.
