Ride on a hammock.

Brooks saddles consist of a piece of leather strung between the frame at the rear and the nose piece in the front. In between, it's just leather. It feels very hard, but it is compliant enough to find your sit bones and conform to them without putting excessive pressure on the other bits. Once you get used to a Brooks, you won't want to ride anything else.


EDIT: The universality of the answers here should be telling you something.
