Seat width between legs? Would this be suitable for a small woman? Seat padding thickness? Comfortable for sitting long periods?

Seat is ~12' in diameter. Note that the seat shape is a rounded triangle which makes it comfortable and stable to use. It's saddle-shaped because you must use your legs to help support your body (active sitting!). Height range is from ~22-33" and should work fine for most people. Height adjusts with a simple button (there are 3 located under the seat). Seat Padding Thickness ~ 2.5" Comfort is a personal preference. I believe the chair is comfortable, but i wouldn't want to sit on it for 12 hrs straight .. but then no one should be sitting for 12 hrs straight. One great aspect of this chair is that it encourages movement while sitting & encourages you to stand up, move around, etc.

The padded portion is not too bulky, so I think it would be comfortable for a woman. the only question would be if strap is too long for a woman.

17" without the seat cushion. We have pillows for the backs as well because the seats are deep. With cushion and pillows we are very comfortable. These chairs would work well for a large person so I'm not sure if your wife would feel the same. Good luck.

I think the width will be fine. A woman weighing 200 can be seated comfortably.

The seat cushion is 18 inches from the floor. Should b perfect for an adult sitting.

Its a great chair but the positioning of your legs while sitting will cut off circulation. The padding is good except for where you rest your legs, a little too much padding. I would not recommend it for more than 3-4 hours of sitting.

The seat is angled enough that your legs automatically rest on the pads. This chair is adjustable. Maybe if your were only 3 feet tall would you have a problem fitting. But even then I think you could. But it's not made for small children. I am 5'2" and it works for me.

I just went and measured the seat area; it was about 18 inches by 18 inches and I think there would be a little more side room, actually because of the way the chair is made.--I don't remember the dimensions listed. I have had the chairs for several years and I don't think anyone has ever had a problem sitting in them. It is an extremely comfortable chair, in my opinion. I think it would be fine for a plus person. Now if you are talking about someone who is extremely large, I couldn't say..

the seat we purchased was 5". We did a lot of research and the 5 was the thickest we could find. to give you perspective, I am 5 7 and my feet would dangle. My husband is taller so it worked perfectly for him post hip surgery

It's under "Product Details" -- 43 x 17 x 6 inches -- note that it's 6" thick, which caught me by surprise. It's very thick and comfy, but if you're dealing with a small seat it may be overwhelming. Good luck!

Doubtful. The padding is alright and is ok for sitting for short periods, but it's not very comfortable for hours of sitting at a time. But it's rather cheap, so you get what you pay for.

I am 5'6" and when we first put it together we accidentally had my seat set too high so I could tell it would accommodate a woman taller than me quite nicely. We lowered the seat and fixed the problem for me. But what I would really recommend is calling the company directly and asking them. They were very friendly and accommodating to me when I called in the past.

This is a very wide chair, however I do not know if it is rated for that kind of weight. Also I am not sure it would be comfortable for someone of that size. I weigh 330 pds and I would not want to sit in that chair for any length of time. The seat is narrow once you sit in it and the canvas seat contracts from the weight. I was recently in the hospital and they have chairs for heavy set people. I might try to ask your local hospital or your health insurance if they can help point you to a vendor. Another option is a used jazzy chair I bought one and it fits fine and you don,t have to push.

I am 5'3" and 130lbs. The chair was comfortable for me. I cannot speak to it being comfortable for anyone larger than me. Best bet is to contact the Seller and ask. Sorry I couldn't help.

The seat is quite wide. I'm a big girl. Size 16 and there's room to spare. You can adjust the depth with the straps.

My wife's seat (ladies) is comfortable. This seat is more unisex although the only thing I don't like about it is the spandex-like cover. The best bike seat I've come across is the Bell Memory Foam Saddle, Recline 800 which you can get at Walmart or Target for around $20. Comfortable in the rear and scrotum especially during long rides. I've ridden 2-3 hours straight without any discomforts.
