Bicycle seats(saddles)are a sore point with many people.
A bicycle saddle should be very firm, have a depression or cut out in the center, a narrow horn, and be wide enough to accommodate the width of your sit bones.
Once a saddle has been selected, the next step is to get it positioned correctly. The saddle must be high enough so that when the right pedal is at 6 o'clock and the ball of your foot is on it, your knee is slightly flexed. When you pedal, your bum should not be rocking side to side. If it is, the saddle is too high.
Once saddle height is settled, it's horizontal position must be set so that in your preferred riding stance, your sit bones are settled in the center of the widest part of the saddle, or maybe just a little further back. Then the tilt has to be adjusted to a position most comfortable for you. Most set it level or tilted up a bit. As you work with these adjustments, usually in small increments, height may need resetting.
Once all that is settled, if after an hour or two of riding, the saddle is still too uncomfortable, try a different saddle. But be aware, no saddle is likely to be as comfortable as a good tractor seat.
BTW, ironically, people who tour on bicycles, and ride for hours each day, often swear by the very hard leather Brooks brand.
