New Fat Seat for my Old Bony Butt. That pretty much says it all. $40 from Amazon and my butt loves it!

It is very comfortable. And no problem for pedaling.
I've added a Sofort suspension seat post to smooth out the road bumps from the solid rear end.
 
I have a cloud 9 Cruiser select seat on my e-bike, but my unpadded rear still gets sore after about 10 or 15 miles. It was okay at first, then I change the angle of the seat to a more angled up setting, but now have put it back hoping that will ease the discomfort a bit. Don't have much padding back there on my body, so I'm a bit sensitive to those type of adjustments.

I to am older and kinda skiny with a bony butt and found pointing my seat down just a tad in the front helped in a big way.

I have changed the angle back to where the seat is pointing a bit down as you mentioned. It is better now than before the change, and I'll probably keep it this way. I think they make shorts with padding back there to help out as well. I have an old pair of biking shorts I'm going to check out that has padding.
 
I am working on my third seat for my bike. I am not a crazy racer kind of guy, just like cruising. So comfort is high in my priority.
I do find that the angle makes a big difference so I am still playing around with it.
Would like to get one of those fancy posts though.
 
I use a Brooks B17 on my e-mountain bike. Can't beat it once it's broke in. On sale at REI until 05/26.
