It's not the size of the tire; It's the air pressure. Everything else equal larger tires allow lower pressure, and therefore increase comfort. But it's more a function of ari pressure than tire size.
For example, a 25c tire at 120 psi is going to be more uncomfortable than a 23c at 100 psi.

Likely, and the charts are good starting point, but just a guide. The issue is at what pressure do you start getting pinch flats, and some people are lighter on their tires than others. That said I bet you can easily ride 22c tires at 100psi without excessive pinch flats. maybe lower if you're light on your tires.
