Gel

From WikiPedalia

A type of closed-cell foam, in which the bubbles are under higher-than-normal pressure. Originally developed by Spenco for wheelchair cushions, gel is also popular for saddles and saddle covers, and for padding the palms of cycling gloves.

Gel has been rather over hyped as a cure-all for saddle related discomfort.
