seat height

How high sitting

Seat height is the vertical distance from the floor to the top of a seat surface.

The measurement matters for ergonomics—proper seat height allows feet to rest flat on the floor with thighs parallel to the ground.

Office chairs, bicycles, and wheelchairs all have adjustable seat height.

The desk was too high for the chair's maximum seat height.
