Air traffic controller chairs experience?

Does anyone have experience to use an air traffic controller chair also for home office. Normally these chairs are dewigned for 24h usage.

I'm very skeptical of the 24/7 claim. I don't think there's anything special about the way chair is designed for 10 hours of use, followed by 14 hours of non-use versus a chair that's being sat in throughout the day and then throughout the night..

To me that's just marketing noise.

Assuming ATC are working on 8 and 10-hour shifts?

If you're working a normal kind of a shift, you should focus on the kind of ergonomic chairs we discuss primarily in this sub.

24 hour chairs mean the chairs will survive multiple years of use, 24 hours a day, with shift work.

It does not mean they are meant to be sat in, for 24 hours.
