My experience and two bobs worth is that the right saddle takes time to work for you and what's right at the start of your cycling journey will almost never be right by the end.
I find that the saddle that's right when your experienced is ALWAYS too hard at the start.
Softer saddles are always nicer to begin with but after too many miles you sink into them and cut off blood supply leaving you feeling numb. Hard saddle don't cut off the blood supply like soft saddles do but they do leave you feeling bruised until your used to them.
I'm currently using an old Selle Italia Trans Am. At first it was as hard as a rock and it left me bruised. Now its fine.
EDIT, I just did some googling. My saddle looks most like a Selle Italia Trans Am SLR although its not labelled as such.
