I have two friends that use the big huge Planet Bike Cruiser saddle. It is a traditional design, with nose, but wide and cushy. They both love them and ride them for 15-20 mile trips.

I sat on one once for a couple of minutes and it was comfortable, but have no idea of what it would feel like after an hour.

Also, if you have a traditional saddle that is really hurting you, have you tried using an add-on gel pad? They cost $10-$25, depending on where you buy them and how thick they are. I have three friends who use them, for regular 30-35 mile rides. Swear by them, not at them. One guy has about 3000 miles on his and he would hurt you if you took it off his bike. Almost every bike shop has them, as well as Wal-Mart and Target.
