strangely some people have issues with their arse when it comes to bikes.
Personally I've only had that issue on 50+ mile bike rides where i think its inevitable that eventually your arse will become sore no matter what.
This is a picture of my seat, one i bought in Brick lane Market for a £1.
Best most comfortable seat I've ever owned. You'll notice it has no padding. I think the padding clings to your butt checks more and causes chaffing.
So don't be attracted to well cushioned seats, on bikes it's not a good thing, in my experience anyway.
Sheldon has a good topic on this http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_sa-o.html#saddle with lots of links for good reading
