I've read that padding on the kneeling section is thin. Is the cover on that area removable so additional padding can be added?

Yes, you have staples on the underside that I think could be removed to free the covering from the pad. I don't think that the padding is thin but it does compress under the weight of your body and knees. The only way to improve the comfort would be to use a cushioning product that was denser or put an additional pad on the surface. Overall I am happy with the construction and functionality of the product.

The pad can be unscrewed from the chair. At that point you could reupholster the pad by removing the staples from the cover which holds the padding in place.

The first few weeks that I owned the chair, I used a soft pillow; however, after using the chair for awhile, I found that I did not need extra padding - possibly because I learned to sit up straight and not put so much weight on my knees!

No,sorry. I add a cushion on top of the kneeling section. That works OK for me. You will need additional padding but cannot get it inside the existing cushion.

If it is possible, it certainly is not easy. I can't think of a good way to attach any other padding in its place.

Yes, this is a kneeling model, but that doesn't mean that you need to keel on the floor. I put mine on my bed (it's light enough to place on top of the bed) and then kneel on the bed to get into the correct position to stretch the back. Also, you can then fall off sidewise to de-mount, resting on your side until you are ready to get up and go about your activities.

Sorry, we're still in the remodeling process and I haven't used it yet for actual ironing. However, there is a fold in the cover fabric where the ironing board bends in half for storage. I expect to add thin padding or a towel when I use the ironing board, but I had to do that with the full-sized board I had before, which had a much thinner cover pad.

No, it's better to remove it because your knee will start sweating under it and it becomes uncomfortable..

I a planning to have a local sheepskin store make a cover for me, for cushioning and because I don't want to sweat in the summer. They said it would be $50. I could put foam beneath this if necessary. There is a knee bursa and also the infrapatellar nerve that could be at risk if it hurts. There are also soft gardening knee pads that might help.

I have issues with my knees and this seems to be less stressful on them. And no you don't have to get up and down too many times just a couple.and you can tailor this more easily to how much stress you want to put on your knees.

You do use the knee pads. I use it for both in front and behind lat pulldowns and it works well.

No that I can see but if you put on heavy ankle wieghts possibly it may create a better workout. I got this version and my dad got the one with the better padded knee pad. Get the better one

No, sorry. I've only been using the original but agree it's not great....needs more padding. I've been thinking about how I can add some but haven't done anything yet.

It does not come with padding. Had to purchase padding through someone on ebay.....you can also check with your local dealer, or sometimes a salvage yard. But this product is for the covers only, but they are really great covers...Hope this helps

No, you cannot add additional padding "underneath" the seating upholstery because (1) the design of the chair does not permit it; (2) the chair would not be able to fold for storage or travel; (3) the chair may become damaged beyond repair; (4) the chair may become unsafe.

I love mine. There is one exercise the video shows that bugs my knee but it's easily adaptable. My mom got a gazelle after I did. She has bad knees. It doesn't bother her. Side note...I think it a important to add wd40 to the crossbar the handles are attached to as suggested by somebody.

It is not cushioned. It's just a layer of flannel with a waterproof backing. For a quick change outside the home we use this on hard surfaces. I've seen people use this on their beds. I think if you are kneeling on a hard floor it might hurt your knees to change the diaper. Especially the first couple weeks when they poop constantly. Maybe get a little area rug for you and baby? Something thick enough to cushion for you & SO. Or you can use a folded blanket?

There is one adjustment that tilts the seat and knee rest at the same time. It's pretty easy to adjust. But, the knee rest and seat cannot be adjusted individually. However I've never felt the need to have to do so.

It is not recommended that you add any extra padding by the manufacturer. The mesh makes it breathable all around. The only things I added were risers to bring it to the correct height next to my bed.

In my opinion ...NO...why they did not add a little more padding is beyond me...

No extra padding, just one layer. But it isn't a "grippy" surface - more like a suede. Hmm that is a great idea though....
