Yes, one of my bikes, a Trek Navigator, came with a suspension seatpost, which adds a modicum of comfort, though the saddle itself (which I upgraded) and the stock front suspension fork probably make a bigger combined difference in providing a very comfy ride at moderate speeds. The wide, relatively low-pressure tires also help.

The suspension seatpost certainly hasn't given me any reason to complain or swap it out. Remember that as you add suspension components, you'll be adding weight to the bike.
