+1 on going to CityBikes and buy a used saddle from the glass case where they keep the better ones. Plenty of very good ones for $25-ish. Check on the exchange-return policy, you can probably keep swapping until you find one you like.

Set the saddle perfectly level at first. For most people that will be about right. If you then try tilting it for later rides, do so in tiny increments.

There might be a slotted saddle to try out. But most people don't need that

Myself, I am comfy on B17, Selle Italia Turbo, Selle Italia Flite, and Brooks Swallow. My rear seems to be not too fussy.
