Well, thanks to the sit bone width comment, I tried scooting to the side (kind of riding one-cheeked) and discovered the fabled "hammock". I also felt where my sit bones were while sitting up----pretty close to the rivets. Thus, I conclude that in spite of the SA marketing saying that the saddle works for everyone-- not me. This thing seems to be too narrow for my sit bones. I'm bummed, because the side-sitting hammock was fantastic!
