A method (10) of manufacturing a customized saddle cushion (30), such as a bicycle saddle cushion, the method comprises applying a molding paste (14) onto a saddle shell (16) to form a probe saddle (18); letting the molding paste of the probe saddle deform under a weight and motion of a rider (12) riding the bicycle during a riding session; obtaining a 2-D pressure map (22) on the geometrically stable deformed molding paste ; obtaining a 3-D saddle cushion model (21) of the geometrically stable deformed molding paste; and associating the 3-D saddle cushion model with the 2-D pressure map to obtain a 3-D saddle cushion pressure mesh (24) to be used as a reference for 3-D printing the customized saddle cushion. A density of the 3-D saddle cushion pressure mesh is correlated to the 2-D pressure map.
