I've had both the Sundowner and the HD Pillow-Look and for me not only was the Pillow-Look more comfortable, but it was less "intrusive". I thought the SD seat pushed me up and forward too much. For shorter riders (i'm only 5'10" btw) that might be the way to go though...

There are plenty of seats to choose from. What my passenger likes, yours may not. Mine loved the sundowner seat. I didn't. I bought a mustang solo seat with p-pad and she finds it just as comfortable if not moreso.

My two cents from 50 years of experience - I'm too old to be tough so comfort is it
for me. I've had Sundowners and won't knock 'em, but for me, hands down it's Mustang
pillow in the wide model for two-up riding. Also have their smooth solo wide for just me.
IMHO.

My wife hates the Sundowner, but loves the Wide Glide seat I have on my Street Bob. That said, she is only 125lbs, 5'2". Got a nice sized butt though! 
I also hated the Sundowner, too high and way to forward. I always felt like I was falling out forward.
