Default Joyride seat cover review

A new seat cover in the market. It's brand named as "Joyride".
I have fitted on my GS 150R. Quite comfortable to say at least. As promised, it does give a warm feeling than the 'chatka ' we usually get on a normal black seat cover.
What attracted me to get this cover was a warranty. This cover offers 3 years warranty against color fading, loose stitching, wrinkles, surface deterioration etc.

I paid Rs. 450 for this cover in mumbai, been using it since last month...i feel it's worth the price as it has got really good quality and a warranty that no one else offers.
Images of a cover are attached.

Is it having any padding for additional cushioning?

hey it doesn't have any padding, it's just a seat cover. It looks like a leather seat cover though. The executive rubbed that cover against cement wall but it took that toll. not even a single scratch. they claim that this cover can outlast normal plastic buttons. Not the sharp metal one's.
It was simple calculation for me.
1. on an average i spend 200-250 bucks on seat cover n lamination.
n this thing I got for 450 including VAT.
2. it tears off in a year.
3. it does not have a warranty.
4. There is chatka if i put my stock cover.

I tried searching for it at retailers but it's available at showrooms only

I wanted to know if this seat cover makes my behind stop hurting on long rides (over 2 hours) or not..

I have heard about a seat cover but dont think it's joy ride.. that provides better seating for your behind.. so it doesnt hurt on long rides.. im not sure which one it is, one of my friends said that they are testing this type of a seat in mumbai right now and providing for free to test at motor cycles dealerships.. how much is the truth behind that??
