Question

When sitting down, why does our butt get numb when sitting on the floor, but not on a chair?

Answer 1

Probably because of the form of your body. when your on a chair, your evened out, but on the floor, your posture is a lot different.

Answer 2

I guess you sit there too long.   When I sit on the floor my legs and feet go numb.

Answer 3

Because on a chair they are designed for a butt, so they aren't likely to cut off some blood to the butt (padded chairs are even better for this)

where as floors are a  hard surface for your shoes, which tend to be flat so that's going to cut of veins and/or arteries in your butt.

Answer 4

it all depends on how hard is the material you sit on...if you sit on a comfy chair of course that your butt won't get numb but if you sit on concrete,stones,etc your butt wont feel to well

Answer 5

that never happens to me.
