I'll put it flat and see how that goes. I haven't really had time to adjust it yet, I just put it on and rode it home.

The width seems ok, there's no issue with the soft tissue. They measured me and I was kind of borderline so they gave me the wider saddle.
With the sit bones: You know how when you sit on a hard surface and you roll your pelvis forward like you're sitting on the edge of your seat and there's kind of a flatter sitting-on spot on your bottom? Then you roll your pelvis back so your sitting closer to your tailbone and there's another kind of flatter sitting-on spot at that part of your bottom? I feel like I'm balanced on the middle point so my weight is concentrated on the narrowest part of the sit bones and it was uncomfortable. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be and the new seat is different enough that I just need time to get used to it? I had never noticed it before but I was thinking about it all the way home.
The seat does have a 30 day return policy but I wanted to make sure it's not something I'm doing before I bring it back.
