Hard for someone on a forum to suggest what might be comfortable for you. They can only tell you what they have found that is comfortable for them.
Many find the stock street glide to be pretty comfortable for the rider, not so comfortable for the passenger.
Harley dealerships usually carry a selection of demo seats for this reason. You can try before you buy. Sundowner and Hammock are usually more comfy than stock.
You also need to know is you need to be pushed further forward, backwards, lower, higher. If you need a backrest, that is a whole nother issue, as is adding or subtracting padding, gel, memory foam, wooden beads, air mattress, sheepskin.....etc.
If your dealership sells trade in bikes, you can often find one among them that is comfortable to you, but you will be unable to ride them for miles to see how they do on the long haul
Aftermarket seat providers are also option, but you cannot buy until you try.
Even the most comfortable seat in the world can become uncomfortable just by changing out or adjusting your handle bars.
Best of success in getting something that can give you lots of comfortable miles.
In addition. just putting miles on a seat can often make them more comfortable as they break in, any your butt gets toughened up.

I have two seats.....one Danny Grey Solo for local rides and less than 2 hour rides and a HD Signature Series with backrest for long rides. The HD seat is puffy but it can be used local and long distance. Long distance it is great and your assteroid will be able to go on on on for hours.
Oh by the way I have a 2013 SG too....

I have a Sundowner I originally bought for my 14 Ultra. Rode it for 2K miles, basically brand new. It's more cushion than I like on the SG. If you try one and like it, I'll make you a hell of a deal on it. PM me if interested.
