Irrelevant to how comfy your chair is.

So I would go to a chair with no TV. Like a bicycle seat.

You would sit in your living room and read a book on a bicycle seat?

This has got to be M'Luds funniest post to date!

The seat at my desk (which I use more than any other) is constructed
in exactly the same way as the one on my bicycle (stretched fabric
mesh), but is LESS comfortable.

Is it the same size?


Now, I admit that my bicycle is an exception to the rule, being a
recumbent, but even discounting that example, upright bicycles are
constructed so that part of your weight is taken on your hands and
feet, distributing the load across five parts of the body, and
reducing considerably the weight on the arse. This is something that
no conventional seat does, and it makes it more comfortable, not less.

Errrrm. A conventional seat has armrests and there is a floor to put
your feet on.

Have you worked out the difference in size yet?

Area of push bike seat maybe 20 sq ins. Area of chair cushion 500 sq ins



I've had a lot of different cars over the years, and driven even more,
but I've only had one (Jaguar Sovereign) where the seat was more
comfortable than a well fitted and adjusted bicycle saddle, at least
to anyone sufficiently fit to keep a (variable, since you can move
about on it) proportion of their weight off their arse.
Of course, it's possible to use a saddle that is less comfortable, or
to adjust it badly, but that would be like nailing the cushions to
your sofa and them complaining that the heads dig into your arse!


He just gets better......
