My 2 cents - define what you want in a system. No saddle is lazy chair comfort but some get closer like the J3Hybrid styles. I don't care what you do, when you sit for 8-10 hours it will get uncomfortable and you adjust. So go in with reasonable expectations.
To me a saddle is a tool. And one I use to get in quickly, quietly and safely into any tree I choose to hunt from. It also allows me to make moves anytime during the day quickly and quietly. Comfort is way, way, way down on my list of what I want a saddle to do. However, I did my time in them and came up with a system that provides more than ADEQUATE comfort to allow me to sit all day long - and in TX that makes for a long day early season. I find my saddles far more comfortable than a traditional lock on and I tend to move around a lot less. And when it comes to blending into the tree, no lock on stand comes close to what you can do with a saddle to hide from deer.... and then there is the whole 360 shooting thing.
Like Ikeman said above - you go through a "breaking in period" after long layoffs. I sue my for trail cameras, scouting/prepping just about all year so that's not a big factor for me. But if someone is the kind of guy that doesn't think about shooting or sitting in his saddle until 2 weeks from opener - expect some growing pains until your body gets used to new pressure points and fatigue from muscles not normally used. In those situations - man up, suck it up, or whatever else - we are hunting not "reclining"
