You don't want to try to make everything fit your over large body as much as try to get your over large body to fit a normal seat. I changed seats about every 3-4 months as my rear changed size. In such a case cheap seats make more sense.

Formerly fat guy here as well ( I only lost 140 pounds, I bow to you). I did ride wider seats when I was big, but nothing remotely close to that shape. That's basically a bench in the rear and, as I said above, I don't think it's designed for a bike that needs to be pedaled. Fat butt or not, that's got to impair your thigh motion.

We should compare notes some time, we're now biking at about the same weight. I don't get to meet a lot of other people who can compare riding at 300+ to 180.
