FWIW- to get comfy on the saddle you need wide and springs like the Brooks b-67 or similar. Since your sitting bolt upright, all your weight is creating hot spots, poor blood flow to certain areas. A saddle with a greater surface area that conforms to your arse will be more comfortable in the long haul. Since your position is upright, your spine is going to act as part of the suspension system, so a few springs will ease that too. Together, once broken in, not much else will be as comfy, that's why you see them on British and Dutch city bikes....it works.
