Have you ever tried to sit on a kneeling chair? It can be a bit of a challenge, at first — the thing hardly even looks like a chair, and it’s awkward figuring out exactly where your legs are supposed to go. Once you get the hang of it, though, these funny looking chairs can be one of the most comfortable seating options available.
Instead of babying your back with loads of cushioning and support, this style of chair forces your body to do a little work of its own. It’s a challenge at first, but as your muscles get used to holding your body up, you’ll end up with better posture and fewer back problems. Check out this excellent review for one user’s experience switching to a kneeling chair. Office chair advice also has some useful descriptions and explanations.
We carry quite a few versions of this design ourselves: The Izzy Design Balans chair (pictured above), plus others by Jobri, Boss, and Office Star. Check them out and see if there’s one for you!
