I'm assuming your mom is referring to her sit bones being sore. First of
all, saddle with gel can't all be lumped into the same category any more
than leather ones or any other type. A gel saddle can be mushy or hard and
everywhere in between. Choosing and recommending saddles for other people
is such a crap shoot, especially if they can't articulate what hurts
where. Also, bike position has everything to do with how much pressure is
on your sit bones, as Peter said the more upright the wider.
That said, I ride Selle Royal Saddles. The ones with Royal Gel. They
are not mushy like really cheap saddles and not hard like a Terry. Their
gel is a great balance of firmness and forgiveness. I gave up cycling for
awhile because all the saddles I used to use no longer worked for me. Sit
bone discomfort off the chart. Everything I ever thought or heard about
saddle and all the theories I found was now vague generalizations and
worthless. So on a whim at REI I tried a Selle Royal Lookin Moderate
saddle, much wider than I had used before and nice flat profile on top.
They make a lot of womens models. I'd look at the Odina, Drifter Plus and
Drifter Medium and Lookin Relaxed if looking for a wide womens model.
