What type of seat padding does the chair have? I am interested in how long it will last under 10 to 14 hours a day of continuous use.

The seat is MX-2 memory foam. It is very hard to predict a lifespan. If you will be in and out of the chair frequently during those 10-14 hours, then I would expect the leather to begin to show wear before the foam. If you expect to simply be in the chair for 10-14 hours each day then the lifespan will depend a lot on the weight of the user. The weight limit on this chair is 280 lbs. But the foam maintain its shape and thickness longer if the user is well below that weight. The warranty is a 1 year warranty for parts which includes the seat foam.

The hydraulics do not last. We've only had this chair for 10 months. Plus have tried to contact the company but their website set off my virus protection. Can't find a phone number to actually spesk to a human being.

I am usually at my desk for 1 or 2 hours per day and do well. Occasionally, but not often, on days where I may be at my desk for longer periods I have used my regular chair. I have had my chair now for almost a year and the padding has lost about half of its cushioning but for the cost of the chair I am pleased as I did not want to buy a more expensive one as this is my first chair of this type. In the future, I will probably repurchase this chair.

If you are looking for a long lasting chair definitely this is not the one you are looking, mine after a couple years of casual use is ready for the trash, material is faux leather (not the real thing) which now is peeled off, padding/cushion don't exists and cylinder start to fail after the first year.

It is pretty comfortable, as the padding in the seat is good, and you're not just sitting on metal. However, I do get tired of sitting in it after a couple of hours or so, when I'm at the computer. It's a good solid, comfortable chair, but you might throw a padded seat cushion on it if you are sitting that long. It is a folding chair after all, and not like sitting in a recliner.

Seat padding is fine. Back support leans back a bit and I find myself unconsciously tilting my head forward. 8 hours, perhaps?

I have been sitting on one of these chairs for 8-9 hours a day, 5 days a week (at work), for a couple of years. I love it! It provides "active" sitting opportunities and my abdomen has become tighter as a result and my posture has improved. The padded bar you see pictured is not a backrest but more of a "grab bar" to assist in getting on/off the chair. There is not back support; no leaning back. My only complaint would be that the casters lock into place with just the slightest touch, like when my foot barely kicks one. Then I have to reach down and unlock it. Not really a big deal, but somewhat annoying. I have been sitting on one of these chairs for 8-9 hours a day, 5 days a week (at work), for a couple of years. I love it!

I'm like 270-80 and it didn't last to long, the actual seat is great but the back is not to good it is only held on by four small screws if you need a chair for prolonged use I'd suggest one that is conected to the base instead of just the arm rest

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 use this chair for as long as 6 hours at my desk. I purchased it when I was dealing with a hip flexor injury. I find the chair to be perfect! No pain in my hip after "sitting" for long periods of time. I purchased a second one for my desk at home.

The chair was a gift to my son. The chair went together very easy. He sits in it at least 4 to 6 hours a day. It has held up extremely well. I would highly recommend this item.

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.

The seat covering seems to be made of the same material as the back of the chair. The seat, however, has some padding material under it. I find it very comfortable.
