I have a pretty old looking office chair and when I sit on it for 1 hours+, my butt gets numb. Is this normal? Are the modern office chairs more comfy?
No they generally don't but poor circulation and sitting still for long periods can make your butt numb. Also puts you at risk for blood clots. One thing you can do is get a new chair, but if you still have poor blood circulation you will still get a numb butt over time. to cure get up and walk around every hour or put one of those foot massages under the desk the vibrations will help with poor circulation, if you can get into a position with your legs up above your chest every hour that will certainly help but the numb butt is not the chair but your blood circulation and that also puts you at risk for blood clots and a host of other issues that are not pleasant its well worth to unplug yourself and walk around 5 -10 minutes to get the blood flow back in order Hope that helps Lr
