Good point.
A second issue would be where he sits on the saddle. If he's sitting very close to the nose, no saddle will be comfortable. The OP must be sitting way back on a saddle that uses springs to take advantage of them.
Also, his riding style can make a huge difference in overall comfort on a long ride. The OP must lift off the saddle when riding over ruts, bumps, potholes and man-hole covers. Each time he hits them while sitting down lessens the amount of time he'll be comfortable on the saddle.
