After many hours a day in my current chair, my thighs ache and go numb from pressure from the edge of the seat. Does this happen to you in this chair?

No problems with this chair. The edge of the seat is well padded and I do not experience any pressure from it.

I have not had that issue at all with this chair. And I spend way too much time in front of the computer. :)

Ergonomically speaking, it can be challenging for a short person - and sometimes even for average height people - to achieve a proper seated position for both legs/feet and for hands/arms/shoulders. Often we end up sacrificing one for the other. My recommendation is to get a foot rest. Foot rests are designed to slightly raise your feet and knees, taking the pressure off the back of your knees and allowing proper circulation throughout your legs.

It depends upon your height and the length of your leg from knee to heel. The seat is well padded under the thigh. If the height of the chair to the floor is adjusted so your feet rest flat against the floor, you should have no problem. A trick I use to relieve pressure points is to occasionally lean back and rest my feet on the base of the chair. From what I've read, it's hard on the back and the whole body to sit for a prolonged period of time; so I usually get up and walk around a bit and stretch. This usually relieves any muscle tightness I experience.

No it doesn't happen with this chair. This office chair is so comfortable I can sit in it for hours with no issues. I recommend it highly.

It does not happen with this chair. I spend most of my time awake sitting on this chair. Overall, this is a very comfortable chair.

Humans aren't meant to be sitting all day. But since you have to, this chair will not hurt your thighs

I've gone 2-3 hours, modeling at a table 29" above the floor. No back strain (and I have a bad back), but my knees need the occasional break, so I plant my feet firmly, to give them a rest. I know for a fact, that sitting non-stop for more than 2-3 hours, is risky... we are not built to sit for long periods; this chair helps IMO.

I work from home quite a bit and have never had a problem with the chair. Because I have bad knees, I tend to throw a pillow down to sit on just to elevate my knees more, but the chair is very comfortable.

at times i can feel the front edge of the seat on the backside of my upper legs. if i slide forward a little it diminishes. it may be a little wide but it's not as wide as other seats in its class.

I bought the chair for my grandson and he's on the heavy side wt was 145 and chunky 9 yr old , and the chair is to small for him.I believe you might be to tall and your legs maybe uncomfortable. The chair is very narrow,I hope this is helpful!

I've had this chair for five months and so far have not had a problem. I've been happy with it. I do have a cushion in the seat since I have a back problem and maybe that has helped save on the wear.

I am 5'8" and 220 lbs. i am at my desk a lot. (6-10 hours a day) This chair helps me correct my posture and relieves the problems I have in my upper back that limit how long I can sit. It is not as comfortable as my regular desk chair [Rated by Office Depot for 8 hours]. That rating is accurate as long as I am not working. When I am working, the combination of stress and posture issue get painful after two hours. On the kneeling chair, I have no back pain but my seat gets tired after 4 hours. I switch between the two to get through my day. It is very good, but it could really use more padding in the seat. I am 5'8" and 220 lbs. i am at my desk a lot.

I have noticed a very very slight tilt. It's only noticeable if I pull my feet off the ground and lean the chair all the way back. If I do that it will start to spin very slowly. I figured that it was due to the fact that I lean it pretty heavy anyways and I am 6'4" and 350lbs, so not a little person. Other than that the padding and stitching and everything else is still in fantastic shape. I have only had it for 6 months but I spend probably 12+ hours a day in it.

I have this chair and do not have this issue. You may want to contact company.

I have had no issues with it what-so-ever...and I was flirting with 400 a while back, now losing and still enjoy sitting in this sturdy made chair for long intervals. Probably will have to contact Amazon who should also get you in touch with manufacturer. You may just have gotten a bad one! I love mine!

Make sure your posture is aligned. I felt tightness in my core because of sitting upright better.

I haven't bought this chair yet. I have severe back issues, I am usually in my bedroom by 4 or 5 in the afternoon. I would love to enjoy my downstairs a lot more, I would love to have a softer chair to relax in and enjoy my family/ Any opinions will be appreciated and taken into cosideraton

I use this chair for as long as 6 hours at my desk. I purchased it when I was dealing with a hip flexor injury. I find the chair to be perfect! No pain in my hip after "sitting" for long periods of time. I purchased a second one for my desk at home.

I don't know if there is a way to replace the seat. I am on the thin side and find it extremely uncomfortable. I can literally feel it grinding into my pelvic bones. I am currently looking for a gel seat cover to put over it.

I've never experienced this happening. My chair works perfectly after 1 1/2 years.

Not enough padding if seated for extended periods of time. I have found using sheepskin chair paid makes it quite comfortable.

I think that's called an error. Please consult the manufacturer if you feel as though this might affect chair performance.
