Wider tires can make for a smoother ride because they can allow you to get away with lower pressures. But, this will only help if your current discomfort is caused by vibrations from the road surface.
The simplest place to start is to make sure that you're inflating your current tires reasonably. What's your bike+rider weight, and what pressures do you pump your current tires to?
