I live in the Netherlands
And I've had plenty of wide sprung seats. They're definitely better for comfort, but having spent years sat bolt-upright, Dutch-style, with all my weight on my arse, the razor-sharp race bike saddle is not bad at all, since a lot of weight is now on my arms and shoulders.
There are shit Dutch saddles too, the most important thing is to keep adjusting it until it's right for you - on our cargo bike it now slopes toward the rear of the bike as I found this the most comfortable.
