Default More Comfortable Pillion Seat

First off it's for a 03 Anniversary. It has the stock seat and pillion and backrest. After abo 45 minutes to an hour my wife says her *** goes numb. I know HD has one that's wider about an inch and a half on both sides. Suggestions?

Default Heritage Seat

I have the stock OEM passenger pillion seat from a 17 Heritage Softail the might fit? I think it wider and taller than the 03.

Have you got a picture of it I could see?

I added the larger FLS Heritage pad on my Fatboy . The wife likes it a lot better than the small original . I too like using the large pad as its higher and gives me a bit more lower back support .

I’m new to the softails. Does the heritage pillion fit the slims. I’m in the market for a pillion. I notice the aftermarket isn’t as generous to support these Harley’s. Wondering what rear seat pillions from other applications fit my ‘15 slim?

I know I'm late and doesn't matter to OP, but just an FYI, I got rid of my original '14 Heritage pillion (like above) because the front of it stuck in my back and always made me uncomfortable. Got the Heritage style pillion (with studs) that has a very different contour and solved my problem.
