unsittable
Impossible to occupy
Unsittable describes a seat or surface that cannot be sat upon, whether because of physical discomfort, damage, or obstruction: The chair was unsittable after the cat shredded the cushion.
The word extends to situations impossible to endure while seated: The three-hour meeting was unsittable without coffee.
