Are you wearing padded bike shorts? That might help. (Pearl Izumi makes them in XXL.)
I'm big, too, and it took me several tries to find a seat I like, but I settled (ha) on an Adamo Typhoon. It's cushioned just right and has a cutout in just the right spot. It works for me, anyway.
Good luck with your new bike! What kind of bike did you get?

The pressure problem isn't exactly my butt, it is more the area in between. I will have to Google the seat you have and read more about it.
The bike I got is a Trek Skye and it is so beautiful.
