If the foam in my chair/bike seat, totally compresses when I sit down, is it as bad as having no foam at all?

When I sit on my bike seat and my chair, my rear feels sore or painful. It seems like the foam serves no purpose. The other day I went to purchase a padded seat cover for my bike, but when I placed it on the store floor and sat on it, it compressed down to the floor, so I didn't buy it figuring it was wasted money. Is this correct thinking?

If so, have you purchased a seat cushion that worked? What should I look for?

It's not as bad... it's worse than a thinly padded saddle. You are right not buying the cover. For most seasoned cyclists a very thin padded saddle that FITS is what's best. If you're more of an occasional rider a little thicker but very firm padding is best.

Like you noted, soft padding does little. You compress right through it. Not only does this do nothing for you, these cheapo saddles are usually poorly designed and the actual saddle underneath the padding is a horrible fit. Also, sitting in thick, soft padding distributes your weight into your perineum region which is exactly what you do not want. You should be perched on your sitting bones when on a bike saddle. Cushioned covers do not work well, opt for a better saddle.
