when sitting for long periods of time, does the seat become hot? I have a ball chair which I love, but it is too hot and my bottom broke out.

It does not become hot. This cushion has been the best money I have spent in a long time. I highly recommend this cushion.

My Mom sits on it all day. It is made to help people from getting sores from sitting long and it does not get hot. I got my daughter one for her office chair, now some of the other ones in the office have gotten them too. They are great.

Katrina, the cushion does not feel hot when you're sitting for long periods, but once you get up you will find that you are wet with sweat! I hope this helps.

No, it stays cool because of the air! If it does get warm, just let the air out and put fresh cool air in.it, takes just 2 mins.

It's never gotten hot, I do have a cushion on it, but also use it without the cushion. We gotten as high as 90 degrees, no problem. I recoment it

Ciao Italian Anna,No, the lounge doesn't get too hot to sit on... I put a cushion on mine to make it easier to get on & off...It's higher than other lounges, which was the main attraction for me...it's made of resin & basically maintenance free, short of wiping it down after it rains. No metal to get hot or rust...(questa e`perfecto) Ciao

The bottom cushion is somewhat short. Heating element runs throughout however. Only complaint is that it's too hot and I have to put a blanket over it even on low.

It is not too comfortable to sit in for long periods of time. I have it as an accent chair for color.

Mine has never has done that. I noticed it gets very hot in use. I would call the manufacturer or check on their support page.

I don't have the same problem as zuiichi. I've sat in the chair for a couple hours straight without feeling uncomfortable. I don't know what your opinion of a long period of time is, but I'd say if you're going over an hour or two, look into something bigger and leather that also has more cushion. I'm used to my old chair which was a plastic folding chair with no cushion at all, so to me, this is a nice comfortable chair.

Yes, it is hot, even with the cover that it came with. I find myself tossing a turning at night because I overheat on the "bottom side."

My friend who is 4' 8.5" stopped by this morning and tried my chair. She thought it was great and had no problem - in fact, she is going to put it on her gift list. She said she had no problem with it rolling away from her (although you do need to be careful about this...I think my casters are partially locked). Her legs were not at 90 degrees, they more followed the contours of the ball, but her feet were on the ground, and she was able to move the chair easily with her feet. I don't think her heels were more than just lightly touching the floor though - but she was barefoot. She was able to easily sit on the top center of the ball, and thinks it is very comfortable. She can't lean back against the backrest, but this is okay since you aren't supposed to lean against it anyway. BTW, the instructions for inflating the ball say to blow it up, then check it in a day since there will likely be some leaking, or perhaps it just stretches out, and fill it again. This is exacrtly what happened with mine, and after I filled it the second time, it has been fine. My ball might be a little soft, which might make a difference to her, but since I am big, it might be my weight. I hope this helps, and I would stress that you be careful when first using the chair to have a good understanding of how it moves, particularly when getting on and off.

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!

We live in the northeast so it may not get as hot as where you are. We have used it in the high 80's and mid 90's and it hasn't gotten hot that we noticed or the toddler was uncomfortable riding in. It's a great seat as far as I'm concerned

We had it on for most of the day and evening and it wasn't getting too warm. The back is probably the warmest but it never got hot hot. It was sitting on a table with nothing around it or up close to it but as long as it isn't smooshed between things I doubt it would overheat.

I began using this seat in mid-August last year. Their were some very hot temperatures. They had no effect on the seat. The fabric is very nice, very durable, and stays cool in hot weather.

It does get warm. I have added a cushion to the bottom seat and now I can sit out there at anytime of day.

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

I also have a memory foam on top and I do not have an issue with it feeling too hot and I over heat pretty easy. I do have sheets that don't keep heat and I run a fan on me at all times when I'm sleeping.

I have bought two types of these in the past week. (not this one). I keep feeling heat on my lap. Do you feel heat with this one?
