soft sitting, im 300 and 5"6" and it is not a great fit, (the width of the seat) , it is very nice quality but made for larger and taller , not for us with larger backside or wide hips, also the end of the seat hits no where near under the knee bend, so if you have a bad sciatica will hit is a bad spot, sad though cause it showed the demensions of the seat depth however the back comes forward and takes some of the useful depth, wish this could be better review , cause I love leaving good ones.
