Why People Sit
People sit for many reasons: to rest, to work, to eat, to draw, to talk, to listen, to wait.

Comfort isn't the only thing to consider when choosing seating options. Equally important is the purpose: who hasn't been stuck in an uncomfortable chair during a long meeting? Discomfort is tiring, and distracts from being able to focus on an important discussion.
