Hi 
My advice is to just get used to the seat on the bike itself. Sometimes the covers slip around and can be more of an annoyance than a comfort. Once your sit bones adjust to spinning the seat shouldn't be as much of an issue. That being said- I did have a Serfas gel saddle at one point where the gel was actually built in. That worked well because it stayed in place.
In the end it's all about your own comfort though so do what works best for you

I'd suggest padded bicycle shorts instead.

I second getting the padded bike shorts: they're great! I also can't live without my Serfas gel saddle, which is so comfortable I rarely need to use the shorts. Another store that they sell bike accessories is McGhie's.

If you decide on bike shorts, shebeest makes a great pair called thethe board rider...i always get compliments on them. the liner is removable, so you could also wear these just as pants and they're so cute you might just want to. The best part is that the outer pant isn't skin tight, so if you're having a bad thigh day, nobody knows but you. They're really durable and comfortable, too. Oh, and they wick like crazy...a huge plus as any spinner knows!
These were recommended to me by a cyclist, and she really knew what she was talking about. They always sell out really fast at the REI near my house. You can see them here. http://www.sierratradingpost.com/shebeest-boardrider-capri-pants-cycling-for-women~p~87051/

You can get padded underwear that will go under most shorts / pants if you don't like the look of traditional padded shorts . mountain bike shorts are usually looser cut if you like less form fitting clothes.
Heed the washing instructions... bike shorts usually can't go in the dryer.
