Is there a break-in period for a new executive chair?

Yes — new leather and vinyl executive chairs typically have a brief break-in period of 1–4 weeks where the seat foam compresses slightly and conforms to the user's body shape, and the upholstery softens and becomes more supple. During this period, the chair may feel firmer than it will long-term. This is normal and expected. Genuine leather can be conditioned with a quality leather conditioner after the first few days to accelerate softening. If a chair still feels significantly uncomfortable after 4 weeks of daily use, the seat foam density or depth may not be the right fit for your body.
