Default Elastomer versus steel springs?

Anybody do the research? I will look around. I guess "elastomer" is another
name for plastic. Generally speaking... Is it durable as steel for Springs?
I'm thinking about the elastomer springs on a bicycle seat/saddle. They
might require less rigid structure than steel springs, so maybe there's
less chance of them breaking off of the saddle.

Thanks.
