To answer your question someone will need to know what you're riding.

I would be surprised if u could find a more comfortable seat for a Heritage than the seat called the Ultimate. They have a shop in Daytona look them up online.

Allot are gonna say Mustang seats but like I said Ultimate is they way to go.

Looks like their seats are for 2000 and newer.

I have the HD Pillow top seat. Very comfortable. Haven't had a passenger yet so don't know how the passenger seat is. My dad had one on a 98 Dyna Lowrider and my mom said the back seat was really comfortable.

As an alternative at about 1/2 the price or more you can look into having the stock seats worked on. Lots of companies out there that take the seat apart, shave away some stock foam, insert gel pads and add softer foam. Here in the Denver area there happens to be a local shop that does it and gets rave reviews. If there are none in your area almost all of them will do the work by mail. You're looking at around $300 for both seats as opposed to $6-7 hdrd+ buying an aftermarket seat setup. I am looking at doing it w/ some b-day money next month. Sat on a friends bike who did it and it is very comfy. He swears by it.

I looked seriously at the touring pillion seat HD sells for the Heritage, but many reviews mentioned it being too wide and the passenger feeling like they were inclining/sliding forward towards the driver. No idea if true or not but, I read so many reviews mentioning the same thing figured there must be some truth to it. Shy'd me away.

Comfort is a funny thing. It is relative and personal. Do some research.
