How is the comfort level when sitting long term like at work or driving?

I found there to be no discomfort at all while sitting or driving. I have worn the medium, and now large, while seated at work for hours with no pinching, chafing, or pain of any kind. The shape of the base sits vertically between your cheeks, so it is very comfortable. Update 11/20/2014: I've had this size for a few months and absolutely love it. I have worn it at least once per week for extended time periods (4-8 hours) around the house, while running errands, at the movie theater, etc. The plug is extremely comfortable and the feeling is amazing. Using it around the house feels great, but the treat of using it in public is an awesome mental thrill as well. Cannot recommend this enough. If you are at all curious or interested, do not hesitate to purchase and use this plug at home by yourself, with your partner, or even in public for an extra naughty thrill.

I drive a lot and then sit a lot at my computer - not exercising like I should either. I have found that when I am driving 2 - 4 hours a day that when I get to a hotel room and the beds are hard as a rock - I take my mat with me and lay on it for 30 minutes up to 2 hours and I don't feel like I am going to sleep while griping a steering wheel in my hands. It relieves all the stress through my neck, shoulders and lower back. when I get up in the morning I feel refreshed and able to walk in an upright position with ease. I wouldn't take a long trip without it. Hope this helps.

I think the chair is comfortable, but I don't get to sit very much on my job. It does give some support.

I've had this chair for about one solid year and use it at work while behind a desk for 9 hours and I love it. The chair breathes very well! This is an awesome chair! :)

This chair is very, very comfortable, even after a few hours. I will say, if you're not real nimble and have to get up and down a lot, it can be troublesome because you have to almost roll off and the push up from a kneeling position. The chair has held up very well in the year I've owned it. The ratchet positioning still works great and no signs of wearing out. My ONLY complaint is that over time, the cushioning in the area where the seat meets the back (where your butt sits) has compressed, so that now when I sit in it, I can feel a bar under my butt. I now have to us a thin pillow in that area to be more comfortable. If they could improve this one area, (maybe memory foam?) it would be perfect!

the seat portion of the chair is as comfortable as any other chair. The curved back and the slots are a little odd feeling. BUT we normally don't eat leaning back. I spend more time in them because I do work at home and tend to lean back a lot. for the most part, they look great, and they are good. Worth the money. This is my second set I purchased.

The seat cushion is firm but I find it to be acceptable. The metal back can become uncomfortable after prolonged sitting.

No, it is comfortable. I would suggest the wider chair. My next purchase will be one that is wider.

No, it's pretty comfortable. I haven't sat on it for an extended period of time, but it's nice.

Well I'm about 80#s lighter, but this seat is more comfortable than others I've tried. I use on mountain bike and ride forest service roads well over 10 miles. it keeps pressure off private parts, but you'll still have to adjust forward or back some because you'll get pressure on cheeks and want to move around a bit.

I wear mine at the 4 o'clock position, it is very comfortable. It took about a week to break it in. I can wear it all day with ease. No problem sitting or driving.

It is certainly sturdy enough to sit on for extended periods. My wife used it and never complained about comfort sitting. However, I do not recall if she ever sat on it for 30 minutes straight. She did like using it better than using a wheel chair.

It is fairly comfortable, but it is a lower-end product. We have been very pleased with them, but you may have to move around a little to improve comfort, but it all depends on your physical size, preferences, and what kind of chair you are putting it on.

You won't be disappointed. This chair has a good range of height adjustment. You will love the comfort, as I sit for long periods of time doing extensive research at my computer. I do not get stiff and sore and do not get any back pain like I use to in my old chair. I am very pleased with this purchased and would recommend this chair to anyone who wants a very comfortable and relaxing chair.

I would say yes. I have no problems driving with it on or when sitting. It is comfortable all day long.

As to comfort this may depend on individual size, preferences but I do find these stools very comfortable for extended seating however check that with the minimal stool height of 24", that, your work desk is high enough to accommodate you in a seated position and at a good working height.

Personally, I find that 5+ hours is alright, but much after 6 1/2, 7 hours, you feel like you want to lay down. It's no LayZBoy, but it's far better than most chairs I've tried (it looks cool too). But it you try to sit down for long without a shirt and pants (I don't, home is where the pants aren't) then the fabric is not terribly comfortable.
