Airhawk's own web site gives size 'small' for the K1200S, which I believe is the same seat as the K1300S.
However I think I would overlap that size despite being of reasonable build.
I know the medium has been touted on here, but has anyone compared the two sizes for suitability on a K1300S standard seat?
Or does anyone know of a stockist in easy reach of Swindon rather than mail order?

If you have been looking at the Airhawk website does it not list stockists?

When I had My Firestorm and was touring on that, I originally purchased a small AirHawk cushion, which was a small(ish) rectangle. It was OK but I then purchased a medium which was more a traditional (ie not a razor blade) bicycle saddle shape and that was a MUCH better fit with my backside. The Firestorm seat is similar in size and shape (though not in long day comfort) to the K1300S seat.

I seem to be in a stockist desert around here. In fact there aren't any 'great' stockists for clothing and accessories that I know of around here or anywhere else, probably due to stock investment for low turnover. Mail order seems to be the way to go.

The Megastore is fairly cheap and very good value if they have what you want. But often don't have what I am looking for. The Blade bike showrooms are OK for bikes, but limited clothing and accessories.

Order both sizes and send back the one you don't want.

I'll bring my medium with me to Swindon this weekend Andy. You can borrow it for a week or two as long as you return to the collection address in Shaw, West Swindon.

Thanks for a very nice offer. Do you want to come here for a cuppa, or I can meet you? Just not before mid morning on Sat as I have a 9am appointment for a back investigation (sport therapist, not the other kind!)

Seeing it on a standard seat will probably be all I need.

As my weekends belong to another and I don't do morning's anyway, perhaps mid-afternoon Saturday at swimbo's place. I'll PM you the address and my phone number in case of problems.

We will also be available Friday evening for collection if you prefer.

Yes, PM  received, thanks, during a break from getting an old leaking immersion heater out. Finally out! It didn't want to budge. Not the day I had planned!

Just got back this evening from a trip to Luxembourg and then a few days putting the bike and me a through some spirited riding on the excellent roads, all done in comfort with the airhawk. Got to say it is a revelation and should have got one sooner. Not saying it's gòod for everyone but it's great for me. I followed the excellent advice given and barely had air in it but once seated it's bliss.

...bliss and variable to boot depending on your botty's mood.

And I assume you discovered the exquisite sensation after an hour or so of shifting your weight slightly from side to side and getting the hands-free massage of your nether regions  ;D
