No, actually, not being mean, you are not good. Piling foam on foam is not going to be comfortable. Just the opposite.

I have sat on the newspaper in my Speedo (or sans Speedo as the case might be) and gotten my sit bone number. I purchased my Specialized (Avatar) saddles using that number and am very pleased with the results. I have a somewhat wider than average (for a male) sit bone width, fairly wide. No, I am not fat, 5-10+, 29 inch waist and 154 pounds. The point being for many perhaps it does not matter but for a person who is outside of the norm for their gender, it could make a big difference.
