Answer 1

The most important matter is that it fits your backside, especially your pelvis.  Those two contact points have to be in the right place.

Wider may make you splay out your hips, which would end up being quite painful.

Also, the really cush saddles may feel good when you just sit, but they move around too much when you are pedaling.

Take your bike to a good bike shop.  Have them mount a saddle or two and adjust it properly.  Take it for a spin around the parking lot.  Little adjustments make big differences.

Best of luck.
