Are there guest chairs designed specifically for long waiting periods?

Standard commercial guest chairs handle typical visitor use (15 minutes to 2 hours) well, but for environments where people sit for extended periods — hospitals, government offices, transportation hubs — you need something more: ergonomically contoured backs with lumbar support, high-density foam rated at 1.8 lb/ft³ or better in the seat, and armrests. The foam density is the key spec; cheaper foam compresses quickly under continuous use.
