Recumbent seats vary a lot. You might want to test ride a few other models to see if they agree with you more.
Also - the Bacchetta Giro 20 is a fairly upright recumbent, which means that more of your weight is supported by your backside and less by your back. I.e. your weight is distributed over a smaller area, which means higher pressure. You might want to try a more reclined bike with a hard shell seat (or Bacchetta's Euromesh seat). As an added advantage, if you get used to reclining more you will also go faster on the flats and downhills!
