sittable

Able to sit on

Sittable describes a surface suitable for sitting on.

A chair is sittable; a bed of nails is not.

The word appears most often in contexts evaluating furniture or spaces: Is that log sittable, or should we keep looking?

Sometimes extended to situations one can endure: The movie was long but sittable.
