Default Suggestion on passenger part of a Hammock

Bought a Hammock and I like it. Problem, it's uncomfortable for the wife, she prefers that the seat is straight across. Thinking about a getting a pad, air hawk, gel pad, any suggestions. Can't get rid of the wife.

My wife has a bad back so I have a air hawk on the passenger section and in fact I have the air hawk on the bottom and a hd air pad for her back and she loves the combo.

The passenger part of the hammock which i own is flat. What do you mean straight across?

First I'm dealing with a women. With that said, the seat has two seems going back, about where the tailbone is, is a indentation. I thinking of a solid pad or possible something that will be solid enough with comfort. The issue is giving me a pain in my backside.

Circulator Large Seat Pad is what I use on my Hammock seat during warmer months. It's very comfortable and stops the "swamp butt" that comes with hot weather. They also make one for the passenger.

Now we went from rider discomfort to yours. Which is it? The Hammock is phenomenal for both. Are you spending most your time fully extended on highway pegs or on the floor boards. Leg position is HUGE when it comes to rider comfort. With me if i have flat soled shoes/ boots i love the floorboards. With my high heeled Rally boots i prefer the pegs. What am i saying? Bucket style seats are best for legs extended highway peg riding.
