kneeling chair

Tilted ergonomic perch

A kneeling chair is a seat designed so the user rests with shins against a lower pad while the torso tilts forward, distributing body weight between the buttocks and knees.

The design aims to improve posture by opening the hip angle and encouraging a straighter spine.

Popular in ergonomic office settings: I switched to a kneeling chair to ease my back pain.
