Save me from all the searching; what seat do you have on your Freewheeler?

Save me from all the searching; what seat do you have on your Freewheeler?
I’ve been searching high and low for compatible seats for my Freewheeler.
What I’m after is a wider more comfortable pillion for my Wife that I can also live with.
I demoed the Sundowner, the Reach and the Tallboy.
The Sundowner was basically what I have now with only an 11 inch wide passenger pillion.
The Reach had the most passenger seat space but it moved me 1.5” forward which crammed my nuts against the tank.
I found the Tallboy the most comfortable however even though the passenger pillion was increased to 15 inches in width it’s depth was reduced about 1.5 inches which is the amount of distance it pushed me back into the saddle so the Wife felt cramped.
So what do you have that is comfortable for you while allowing your passenger to have a generous amount of seating space?
I’m not looking to mortgage the house to buy a seat but I’m also not against spending a decent amount of cash for something that’s comfortable and works.
Lastly I’m not looking for opinions on what you’ve heard will fit on a Freewheeler but rather I’m looking for those who actually have a specific seat on their Freewheeler and what that specific seat is so that I can do some research on that seat to determine if it’s going to meet my needs.

I use a Mustang 79598 with backrest. Just got home (KC) from a week in the Smokies, and it served us well. I'm 6'4"/225, bride is 5'5"/165.

I still have the stock seat but am prepared for when the budget allows! https://www.corbin.com/harley/triglide/hdfwdte.shtml

I am rarely a passenger on my FW, but bringing her home, a 200 mile trip as a passenger made me realize my stock seat would not do. I ended up getting a Mustang Seat with the backrest. Best money spent on the FLRT in my opinion. I have the reduced reach but they have a standard and extended reach. I will say that comfort is very subjective. The hubs has an ultimate seat on his road glide which he only puts on when I ride with him as I think it’s super comfortable but he prefers the stock seat. Go figure!
