How did you get your bike the most comfortable it has ever been for you? (self.bicycles)

Just bought my first road bike and put it on a trainer for the winter. Still tweaking the saddle and such for a more comfortable ride but I'm not there yet.

I just replaced the standard seat with a bigger, more padded seat meant for a totally different kind of bike so I wasn't just sitting on basically a metal wedgie device. Looks a bit funny having a beach cruiser style seat on a mountain bike, but IDGAF about its aesthetic. I care about my ass not hurting.

Next thing I'd do is probably replace the handlebars with a Y style one instead of the straight bar. I'm not tryna go hella fast that I need to bend forward to lower my resistance.
