How is the coil seating? does the padding feel like it's made for heavy duty use (e.g., 8-10 hours of use a day)?

I'm 6 ft, 205 lbs, and yes the chair is very comfortable. The coil helps, BUT the main thing to consider is that most manufacturer's use "lower end" foams,{softer} when they build cushions, they want it to be soft when someone first sits in it. After a peroid of time the foam will fail, crush, {makes you feel like you are sitting on a board}. Then you can take it to a "quality" upholstery shop and get them to replace the foam with a better quality, more dense foam. That will last you forever. I have not changed the foam on this chair yet , but have done it to others. {Maybe just repair the foam in your old chair if you like it.................. mike I'm 6 ft, 205 lbs, and yes the chair is very comfortable.

The chair is actually my husband's. He said "yes"! He uses it for long periods of time with no discomfort.

I bought this chair for my husband and he loves it. It is very comfortable and the padding is fine. He works from home (10-12 hours) a couple of days a week and it is holding up very well.

I purchased this because it was the only one that came close to my good 'old' exec chair, now held together with duct tape and bailing wire... sort of.While I will always be faithful to my old chair, this one really is comfortable and well made. Hope that helps.

I've had this for about one year (since Christmas 2012) and I use it 2 days per week, 8 hours each day. No loss of support yet. In fact, the seat looks almost the same as when it was new. The cloth over the seat is slightly stretched, but not really noticeable.

My husband and I have sat on it but not for a long period of time. There's some padding, but not much. Felt sturdy, though.

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.

Hi there - the chair is fine for occasional seating but probably not the most comfortable for long periods of time since it is metal with a seat pad. I use the chair for my balcony and have sat in it for an hour or two at a time and never felt it was uncomfortable. The chair has a slightly deeper seat so your bottom is a little lower than a standard flat bottom chair. That is a little noticeable when getting out of the chair but it's part of the seat being lower and has no impact on seating comfort. In sum, I think the chair looks great, well-enough constructed especially for the price and is comfortable for an occasional chair.

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.

I apologize for not answering your question sooner. I honestly did not see it in my email. I was starting a new venture at that time, and was very busy.I would think it would work fine for an RV. I don't have an RV, but I did have a rattan sofa that had foam cushions. It was very comfortable and lasted many years.I weigh 275 and have not noticed any sags or indentations in my pad over the time I have had it. It is good that I am retired, because I would be late for work everyday. Looking at the other replies, if you had a cover for the pad (made or purchased) it may not tear. When I move my pad, I roll it up first and then move it with pulling on it. I apologize for not answering your question sooner. I honestly did not see it in my email.

I personally think it's a great trail saddle. It's suede seat is padded and is pretty comfy. I could see myself sit in it for 2-3 hours. Hope that helps!

Yes, very durable. I sit on mine every morning as I get ready for work. Very comfortable as well.

Yes it is, I often work from home for 8-10 hours a day and haven't had any issues with the chair. Since the seat is mesh it gives a little and keeps me cool. The armrests are a thick foam with not much give to them but they aren't painful, just wish they had more cushion.

In spite of the great reviews on it, this seat has more padding, but not so much more that I am totally comfortable on my bike. It does feel more comfortable than the original one that felt like steel on my backside; however, please note that I weigh 105 lbs and my bike rides do not last longer than 30 minutes which are two factors that may affect one's comfort level. I hope this helps.

I've found this padding to be comparable to my other cycling shorts, which I wear for century rides (5-6 hours). I think most of my shorts are rated for moderate riding, so that's probably what these are rated as well. If you're looking for padding as a way to help make your seat more comfortable on a bike, you might want to consider visiting a bike shop and comparing bike saddles as an additional option. I've been happy with these tights and have found them very comfortable. I've worn them on 2-3 hour rides with no problems. And as I said, they're comparable to the bike shorts that I wear for much longer rides. (I don't usually ride longer in the colder weather, so I haven't tested the tights on a century ride.)

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.

It is a very thickly padded seat. I would say a few inches of a good form, yet dense foam. It's very cushy and comfortable.

The seat is a quality screen like material that conforms to your body. So just as comfortable the 1st hour as the 12th hour of the day. I don't even notice it, which is good.

I have used the current one for close to a year of daily use 5+ hours mostly for FPS gaming and it has worn what I would call the first couple layers down to where it looks smooth in a couple spots. You can't feel these spots while moving the mouse but if the light shines on it you can tell its worn down some, at this point I simply flipped the pad over and had a new pad again because it is so large I only use half of it to begin with. I just noticed they were on sale so I grabbed another one with the purchase of my new mouse I would recommend this pad to anyone for anything. I personally HATE the feeling of the cloth pads if you are looking for a harder surface that will last this is the right one for you!

I would not recommend for 8 hrs a day use. They are comfortable but on a leisurely basis. We currently use them for additional office furniture for guests. Sturdy comfy I would recommend them.
