With most new saddles, the rear end will need to adjust and adapt, meaning more soreness.
Getting back on a bike being big isn't pleasant. Doing it day after day initially can be painful. But the rear end toughens up after a couple of weeks and it should become accustomed to a particular saddle, so tell him to keep up the commute! He'll get used to it and then 4 miles will be a breeze.
