Consumer Review: Office Star Ergonomically Designed Knee Chair

John M. – Bellingham, WA:

I’m a new, first-time owner of an ergonomic kneeling chair, having been given the “Office Star Ergonomically Designed Knee Chair” last Christmas as a gift.  I am more than satisfied with this chair.  Let’s just say that I’m completely hooked and will probably never go back to using a traditional chair.  I work as a computer engineer, so as you can imagine, long hours are spent at the desk where posture and ergonomics can become a huge factor.  On top of this, I suffer from lower back pain due to bulging disks in my lumbar spine.  I found it hard to maintain “proper” ergonomic posture in a traditional chair for an extended period of time, whether it might be due to fatigue or simply forgetting to sit properly.

Consumer Review: Flash Furniture, Office Kneeling Chair

Mark – St.Louis:

I recently purchased the Flash Furniture Kneeling Chair off of Amazon.  This was hands down the best preventative medicine I’ve ever invested in!  Being in a desk-bound job I’m required to sit at least four hours a day. I can’t deny the fact that I have to change positions at any time and can easily slip into an improper one. My doctor told me that I’m developing a lordotic curves in my spines and as well as suffering from repetitive strain injuries. I found out that my sitting position has to be corrected and I have to use a chair developed to my kind of work.

Shin Pain in an Ergonomic Kneeling Chair

Hello ergonomic kneeling chair fans!  Some owners of kneeling chairs complain about pain in their legs from the shin rest.  The remedy: adjust your chair.

There are two main adjustments that will affect your leg comfort.  The forward sloping angle of the seat affects how much weight is distributed between the legs and the buttocks.  A flat sloping seat, as with a traditional 90 degree chair, will have 100% of the body weight absorbed by the seat.  A more sloping angle will have more weight shifted to the shin pad, up to 40% of the body’s weight depending on the design of the ergonomic kneeling chair.
