Kurt, one of the problems with those kinds of seats is that the area where your major mass resides really isn't getting any support to raise the pressure off the sitbones. That's where the fat/muscle around your hips/butt/sacrum. The other thing with those seats is that they're likely to bring pressure high in the midback allowing lazy postural muscles to roll your hips forward as the lower back pushes back. Try a collection of minicell wedges like Shawn suggests. Also finding comfort while sitting in a kayak is like finding comfort while cycling hours on end,,,it takes awhile,,,and isn't always comfortable.
