Your new saddle could be more stiff, but that doesnt necessarily make it less comfortable. Often times the issue is that the saddle shape(width, usually) isnt good for you. Just because the saddle came on the bike doesnt mean you need to use it. Saddles are individual- get what feels good. Same goes for the other contact points- bar shape and type of bar tape, as well as pedals and shoes.
All that stuff is individual.
A saddle can be firm/hard/not padded and feel comfortable for hours on end if it fits well.
