Sundowner, hammock both good Harley seats, Mustang wide tour if you want Mama some cushion...test ride the ones from the dealer...I am a big fan of the Sundowner plus the test ride is free. If you want cushy then Corbin is well ....Harder than a wedding dick.

After several tries, I finally have a mutually satisfying seat. I demo'd a Hammock seat, road it for a week. We liked it. I then purchased a mildly used one on here in the classifieds. It has worked out great. (Thank you FinalShot).
If it were me, I would try the same approach, at least demo what you think you'll like. It costs nothing and what better way to know, before you purchase.
Another option is to send a factory seat to Mean City Cycles and have it made to fit you. They do great work.

Hate to burst your bubble but the Corbins are hard as a bench. Lots of guys like them and most wives riding behind them don't. A HD Hammock or a Mustang will be more to her liking if she wants a Cushy seat. You maybe able to try a HD Hammock at your local HD dealer.

Hate to disagree on the Cobin seats. Very comfortable seats. I had a Mustang touring seat on the RK. Hated it and so did the wife. Got a Corbin for the Road King and got one for the wife's Sportster. Enormous improvement over both the Mustang and the stock Sportster seats. Did 210 miles yesterday with a photo break in a couple spots and 15 minutes when we gassed up. I'm very happy with my seat and she's happy with hers.. Saturday we rode just under 100 miles with her on the back of my bike. Had no complaints there. Like the old saying, There's a butt for every seat. I guess we found our seats.
