On the fast of 9 B'Av it is customary not to sit on chairs from the time the fast begins (next week, Wednesday afternoon before sunset) until noon the following day (Thursday). Instead, one sits on the floor. Anything within 3 Tefachim (about 9" - 24 cm) of the floor is considered as being on the floor. After noon one may sit on regular chairs. However, all other restrictions of the fast apply until the fast is over at night-fall. Source: Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 124: 16 - Danny Sunday 27 Tamuz 5769
