Yes i generally agree that Defence Saddles are more sought after and useful than Comfortable Saddles, and yes Comfortable Saddles recover your HP/SP as if you were sitting down spot training and just waiting for monsters. The real usefulness of Comfortable Saddles is when you want to train in a team and just leave it on remote Auto Fight and AFK (assuming that you and your pet can survive/recover in Pine Forest just by sitting down without food before next monster comes; lvl 30+ player i think). Imagine if u were just walking with party-mates on remote auto-fight and youre AFK for long and then the team leader disconnected (even unintentionally or the team leader just disbanded), you and your pet will be left out in the open STANDING so u cant recover HP/SP. This is where Comfortable Saddles come in handy even if u just use it on your Express pet. You and your fighting pet will still recover HP/SP as if u were sitting. I suggest you use bows to end fight faster( as oposed to blades normal attack) and im only talking about Cirrus here.
