I have heard people say that if you switch from leather to non-leather, you should use a narrower saddle because on the widest part of the leather saddle you have the metal frame, but it is unlikely that you are using that part of the saddle. If you have any friends with narrower non-leather saddles, you might want to try them to see how they fit you.
I can't suggest any saddles, I only use leather saddles.
