Why does a waterfall front seat edge matter on an executive chair?

A waterfall seat edge — where the front of the seat cushion curves gently downward — reduces pressure on the backs of your thighs during extended sitting. Without a waterfall edge, the sharp front lip of the seat can cut off blood circulation in the lower legs, causing numbness and discomfort, especially for shorter users whose feet don't fully reach the floor. Waterfall edges are a standard ergonomic feature on quality executive chairs and should be on your checklist when evaluating any chair for all-day use. Compare the seat edges when shopping: run your hand under the front of the seat and feel whether it curves down gradually or ends abruptly.
