Think its a two part problem. Position/Distribution to remove back aches. Then seat comfort to remove ass aches. I don't get back ache anymore but I can get ass ache after a while, usually sorted after a quick stop for gas.
Would be great to have a massage seat

I can take it - Pile it on

tbh - The softer 3D mesh used in their treatlite2cushions is probably what I would use if I redid another seat.
I have one of their "trucker" cushions made from the same stuff and it is better than Air and Gel.
I think this is what a few M/C mfrs now use in OEM "comfort" seats - seen quite a few saying 3D mesh.
The harder OVERSEAT hard 3D mesh covers are (imo) better than bead covers - I've tried both.
My R3 seat now has 37mm of Gel inside and a hard 3D mesh over. I reshaped it to get position right It keeps me to the rear of the seat. And it also has a backrest. But I'm fussy.

Great post, I'm going to have a go at adding gel layer during the cold February weather in uk. Will also look at the 3D covering. I have the original old seat (not worth much) so not overly concerned about damaging it. got to break some eggs to make an omeletteI can take it - Pile it on

If it hasn’t been said, exercise off the bike is a must as well to strengthen the stability muscles. I was developing bad lower back ache from too much time in a car and sitting at a desk. Lumbar pillows only got me so far and my riding was getting affected. After a few weeks at the physical therapist to address some T-band issues we focused on stability muscles. Been incredible.
