Is the mat uncomfortable to sit on?

I have not sat on it, but it is comfortable on the feet so don't think it would be uncomfortable anywhere else.

It's not uncomfortable to sit on, if you are thinking of using it to take a bath, but it is not very big, just so you know. It's only about 22 inches long and 14 inches wide. But it's big enough I suppose and to answer your quesiton, no, I don't see how it would be uncomfortable.

The top of the mat is and very easy to clean. The under part is not. That is where the padding is and it is sponge like. The mat feels real good under your feet.

It does not seem to be a problem. We have had guests using the chairs at the dinner table and also in a casual setting. I have sat on them as well and did not find the back uncomfortable. Hope this helps.

It's pretty thin, but the top is crinkled, so less slippery than carpet. Your weight would push whatever touches the floor down into the mat--so it might actually be worth a try.

No. It is very hard and scratchy, fine for feet but not for sitting on. I actually scrapped an elbow on it.

yes, this is movable, the issue of sitting at your desk with a mat is the un-level floor the mat creates. I do not sit for more then 10 mins (rest a bit) so it does not effect me but I am not sure it would be comfortable if I sat for any length and actually tried to work. I have found that standing is actually no bad and I work on a trading desk.

Yes. Don't expect comfort though. The seat and back are pretty stiff. I use a throw pillow on my back if I expect to sit for more than a minute.

Honestly... If I want to sit I just roll my chair into the mat. I don't know if that's going to mess with the longevity of the mat, but so far it hasn't caused any problems.

Not at all. All your body! Maybe a yoga mat so you don't slip around when on the floor.

Not at all !! It is very comfortable and cushioned. You can, however, see the demarcation of the separate squares through the fitted sheet if that concerns you. It's not a problem for me.

Yes. Actually, the mat didn't work for me. It was too slippery and I was able to return it for a full refund.

Yes. I find it comfortable. I sometimes sit in it for two to three hours at a time.

It is recommended if you find it is too sensitive for your skin, to put a thin shirt or sheet between your back and the mat. However, I find that with time, I've become accustomed to the "prickly sensation" and within a few minutes, the sensation goes away; the mat is easing the tension and one feels better after using it. Everyone will respond differently depending on their sensitivity and pain tolerance. I have a pretty good pain tolerance. Puncturing the skin is a pretty strong word and that hasn't happened. Hope this helps.

I think it can get uncomfortable when sitting for more than a few hours. I usually pad the seat where the bar is with a towel or jacket.

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.

Not at all. Your feet feel well planted. Its surface is uneven and textured. The mat has suction underneath to hold it in place.

I wouldn't recommend it because it's textured so it feels rough on skin. But perhaps worse, it's too thin at only 3/8" to provide cushioning for an area as sensitive as the knees. It would be especially stressful if you bow and move during prayer as some Muslims and Buddhist do. I'd recommend something 3/4-1" thick and very firm, like a child's play mat. They are made to cushion falls. You might even consider using a chair pad or sleeping pillow, whether memory foam, regular foam or feather.
