    If your legs are falling asleep it probably means your seat is too high. If you lower it, that should give some relief. As far as a cushion goes, I can’t help too much. I had one for my last chair and it worked fine, but I ditched the chair for an Aeron and haven’t had any problems at all. As far as I know, any cushion is gonna be just fine. Padding is padding.

      Was gonna say a cushion is probably not the solution to OPs problem, they’re either not using their chair correctly or the chair is bad

    I’ve had good results with the cushionlab car-specific one. I know they make a regular one, but the car seat shape works great on the particular mesh chair I have for some reason. Getting out for an occasional walk helps a lot too, even 10 minutes.

    I’ll say that some chairs are more comfortable than others, but a standing desk is finally what felt the most comfortable for me.

        I have a lot of pillows.

        This really is the answer. You’re sitting too much and a need to stand more to build up your muscles and ease blood flow to your legs.

      I got a standing desk at work and when I was nervous I just started pacing around the whole office and creeping out my employees. Had to get back to sitting

        I liked using my standing desk in my home office. so much that I eventually got one for the office.

        I got a lot of compliments and interested short conversations, but notably only one other person transitioned to a standing desk.

    I’d just get a chair that’s comfortable without any add-ons. I have a Steelcase Leap V2 at home, and a Steelcase Amia at work. I can and have sat in these for 16hrs plus in a day. Tempurpedic also has nice, thick butt cushions in their chairs at a fraction of the price.
