A mould for making an element for supporting the human body, including a saddle for a bicycle or for a motorcycle, wherein said mould comprises a first component or matrix, which is provided with a cavity open at the top, and at least one second component or false-male, wherein said second component or false-male has a through opening, a base surface and an upper surface, opposite the base surface, and comprises an inner side wall which delimits said through opening,
- wherein said cavity of said first component or matrix and said through opening of said second component or false-male determine a joined cavity, wherein said joined cavity has a shape corresponding during use to the shape and/or bulk and/or external surface of said element for supporting the human body,
- wherein said inner side wall of said second component or false-male comprises a lower edge or groove corresponding to a perimeter of said joined cavity, and an upper edge at said upper surface,
- wherein said inner side wall of the second component or false-male provides a first undercut in the mould with respect to the shape of said cavity of said first component or matrix, wherein the first undercut projects towards an interior of the joined cavity, and
- wherein at said upper edge of said inner side wall, a second undercut is formed, wherein said second undercut has a substantially continuous outer edge comprising one or more curved portions, wherein said second undercut projects further towards the interior of said joined cavity than the first undercut.
