I've been using this chair for the last 6 months to help ease my back pain. I use it for my job for about 8 hours a day. I've never felt any pressure on my thighs. It forces you to keep better posture and to reduce the twisting and turning of your back that one would normaly do in one day. All in all, my back feels wonderful and I do not have the constant pain that I previously had. Hope this helps.

Seriously, please discuss with your doctor/surgeon before you use *anything* that will affect your back, before or after your surgery is completed. Good luck!

I purchased mine a year ago to use when I sit and sew all day. My back does not hurt any more and I just sit on it. If too flat... Just add a pump of air!

Yes but it is very uncomfortable if you sit in it for long periods of time.

This product is designed to relieve pressure and discomfort caused by poor seating options. The ergonomic design allows the hips to sit comfortably in a more natural posture. This item should not cause any pain. Thanks again for the question! Hope you have a relaxing day.

The perfect chair does take pressure off your back and knees. But the padding is thin and the material (fake leather) tends to make you sweat. The manual mechanism for reclining and returning to to sitting position can be difficult. I had problems with the chair ( mechanism broke). It was a nightmare getting reimbursed for a broken chair. I will never buy from them again.

Best answer I can give you is "maybe". The depression in the middle of the seat takes the pressure off the urethra and a nerve that is there next to it. If that is what was causing discomfort from other seats, then yes. But that doesn't sound like what you are describing. Also, compared to the hard leather and steel saddles of some bikes, the gel padding will make your "sit bones" a bit more comfortable. Again, not what you are describing. The seat is not expensive. You might want to give it a try and see if it helps. I hope this response helped.

I would not recomend it if you have tailbone pain as this seat is extremely hard, cushion and suspension.

I don't believe so. The stretch you get is more helpful for lower back pain.

It just totally hard to the point that after prolonged sitting it hurts your butt. If you use it for driving and hit a few bumps, it really hurts. I do not like this thing one bit. I am so angry that I paid so much money for it.

I take hourly breaks and occasionally swap the chair with a standard desk chair, but otherwise I'm fairly comfortable over 8 hours per day. regular chairs stress my back, this kneeling chair is easier on my back but is harder on my legs. Prolonged typing is hard on your body no matter what; yoga helps. I agree with happymom that it takes a couple weeks to get used to the kneeling chair, but after that it's fine. I wouldn't recommend for heavier people because the cushions do depress to the wood easily.

It can do that. It made my regular seat more bearable (BMW R1100R). It will not cover every square inch of your seat though, and can feel like the curve of th see is more accute or like it's bunching up. The best solution for me was to lose 60lbs though. 500 miles when I was heavier was a bear, 1100 I did a few weeks ago paled was longer and easier on my body.It's not a cheap investment, but cheaper than a custom saddle. Try and borrow one before you make the investment and put a few hundred miles under it in one sitting.

I've had mine for about 6 weeks. It DOES take some getting used to. Sitting in a regular office chair for years causes certain muscles to strengthen and others to atrophy. I was SORE for the first few days, but that was expected. Wouldn't go back to a regular chair now. Follow the set up and inflation directions.

Be extremely careful. I ended up with second-largest burns on the back of both thighs...the most painful thing I ever experienced. Took weeks to heal.

I would say no. The heat in it is wonderfully subtle. I suppose you could make it hot enough to act like a pad for back pain, but the entire pad, or your side of it anyway, would all be just as hot.

This cushion was a lifesaver for me. I fell and cracked my tailbone and could not stand the pain when I sat down until I purchased this item. It is a fairly firm foam, so should be able to relieve the pressure when you sit on it.Hope it helps you!

No. Not much pressure on knees at all. Certainly no effect on circulation. I sit in this chair for 8 to 10 hours at a time with no such problems.
