I plan to use this as a sewing chair and wondered if the padding would be enough for hours of sitting without hurting my back or hip?

The chair has great padding on the back and should be good for long hours of sitting. The seat padding is a bit weak. It's great for a short time but may feel a bit hard after a couple hours of sitting.

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'm sitting in it now and use it for desk work and water color painting. With both a hip replacement and back surgery, I find the many adjustments make it a comfortable chair and the deep padding is very supportive.

Yes! When I work remotely I spend hrs sitting at the computer and love this chair! I have sciatica and bought this chair for the extra comfort. It is great!

Sandra, I sit in this chair for 6-7 hours per day. 225lb man. After one year the padding is still as firm and comfortable as the day I received it. It isn't a Herman Miller $500.00 ergonomic chair but I am still VERY pleased with my purchase.

Not so much. I use a memory foam cushion on mine. Otherwise, it's a very cute chair, smaller than I expected. I think it's going to hold up well, I like the fabric.

Absolutely. My 9 and 7 year old boys use them for 1-2 hours every day. At first they complained that the padding was thin ('these chairs are hard'), but they quickly started sitting in them every day instead of bean bags. My boys really like them, and they're a good value. I hope that helps.

Yes - the shape makes it more comfortable than you might think. I sit in it a few hours at a time when working on my computer with no problems. It comes with a thin seat cushion that makes it more comfortable.

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.

I've gone 2-3 hours, modeling at a table 29" above the floor. No back strain (and I have a bad back), but my knees need the occasional break, so I plant my feet firmly, to give them a rest. I know for a fact, that sitting non-stop for more than 2-3 hours, is risky... we are not built to sit for long periods; this chair helps IMO.

The padding is nice but not very thick. It would not take long before it feels like a hard surface while sitting on it for a short period of time. But my answer of course is subjective.

I found this pad quite comfortable and helpful. I use it in a sitting position so I don't put my full weight on it, however. Good luck.

I use it for sewing almost exclusively. I don't experience any bounce when I am sewing, but maybe you are more experienced than myself. The top is plenty deep for me and the fabric. I don't know how much space you would like on the sides with the space for chair in the middle. I hope this helps.,

Definitely! The chair glides smoothly and cushions are very comfortable. The foot rest that pulls out of the foot stool is very convenient for resting yourfeet on! The chair is a not over large, it is a good size for a small room........

Being that you would be sitting for a long time, it maybe a little uncomfortable. All depends on your size, average size probably okay

We purchased this item for my elderly mother who has a very difficult time bending her knees to sit (arthritis) and she has not complained. Now I don't know if it would be comfortable for someone who had hip surgery mainly because it is not that high from the floor...but it's high enough where my mother does not feel she has to bend her knees too much. I hope that helps.

I find it comfortable for about 3 hours, and then if i get up and walk around for 15 minutes, i can do another 2 or 3. And really, no one should sit for more than 2 hours without a break anyway. The best part is, unlike a regular chair, my back never hurts - my knees a little, yes, but not my back. A worthwhile trade-off for me.

Yes, it's absolutely comfortable to use for hours. It has a zip off cover that can be washed. You could also put a throw blanket over it to help keep it clean. If you know someone who sews, you could easily make a cover.

There is very thick padding. I would say that the padding is quite sufficient. It's very sturdy. It was a real pain to put together but great machine for the money.

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 seat on this chair is very comfortable - I use it in my sewing room and it's the best chair I've ever had.
