Sitting for hours at a time isn’t great for your circulation or for your back. It weakens leg muscles and slows the blood flow in your legs, which could cause a clot. 

PLEASE...make the effort to stand up instead of sitting for several hours at a time; getting up on your feet works the valves in your leg veins, sending blood up to your heart.

 

So my advice is plain and simple - Beware of the chair or rather beware of "too much" chair!

"I have found this to be very true. Sitting down too much or for extended periods of time, wreaks havoc on my legs, mobility, and sometimes the lower back area!
