Ergonomic Kneeling Chair, Adjustable Stool for Home and Office - Improve Your Posture with an Angled Seat - Thick Comfortable Moulded Foam Cushions - Brake Casters

This seat is so much better than a regular chair. Since I have been using the chair, my back pain has greatly improved. it is a bit cumbersome to put together, however.

A kneeling chair does get your spine into a neutral position if the seat is at the right angle for you. Some things to consider are seat angle and whether it's adjustable, distance from seat to kneeling pad, how the seat height is adjusted, and the quality of frame, cushions, and wheels. I read a lot of reviews and was considering the one made by Dragonn, the one made by Boss (the only model that I found that has a pneumatic gas lift height adjustment), and the Sleekform Alpharetta model (the only model I've seen that has a seat angle adjustability feature). However, the Sleekform Alpharetta is sold out everywhere, so I purchased this Dragonn chair as well as the one made by Boss to compare and see how they felt.Unfortunately, in most of these chairs, the height adjustment is directly tied to seat angle, so the higher you set the seat, the deeper the angle of the seat. Also, if you're not an average height person, there's no way to adjust the distance of the kneeling pad from the seat, so for me being 5 feet tall, with very short thigh bones, I have to sit pretty far down on the seat to rest my shins on the knee pad, and there's no way to change that. I took a photo of the Boss (black) & Dragonn (gray) side by side in the lowest position and highest position, and you can see the Dragonn adjusts much higher, but also gets at a very steep angle. I do not have to use the chair at a desk all day, this is just for a couple hours of work at a time, so I do not need a chair that I could sit in for 8 hours. In that case, I would recommend having a couple of different options, so you can change positions/seats and from sitting to standing throughout the day.The Dragonn was very easy to assemble especially if you watch the video. For the price, the quality is nice enough. The cushions are well made, but the casters are plastic, not metal. However, I imagine you could get metal casters at the hardware store and replace them to have something more heavy-duty. The cushion is very thick and sturdy, but a bit hard. Also, it turned out that no matter how low I put the Dragonn seat, the angle was too steep for me and did not allow me to have my spine in neutral. Instead, it made me overarch in my low back, which was immediately uncomfortable. In order to adjust the seat height, you have to get out of the chair and turn a screw that slowly adjusts the height, so it's not a chair you can adjust quickly.The Boss was also very easy to put together, but there was no video. For the price (only around $80), I feel the quality is very good - the frame and wheels are the same quality as the Dragonn, but the seat cushions are much thinner. Although the seat cushions are not as heavy duty, I actually found them more comfortable because they are softer. The Boss has a pretty shallow angle at the lowest setting, but keep in mind that having your thighs pointing down is enough to tilt your pelvis forward, so this was plenty of an angle to get me sitting up tall with a neutral spine. Also, when the Boss is at the highest setting, it's still not too steep for me, so pretty comfortable at all settings. To adjust the chair higher, you just take your bottom off the seat, pull the lever and let it rise to where you want. To lower it, you can pull the lever while still sitting in the seat, and lower it to where you want. Very easy and quick to adjust. This was the only model I found with this convenient feature.My conclusion is that that I think it's worth trying a couple of these to see what works for you, because I think the angle at which you feel comfortable might be a little different for everybody. If you're able to get a model like the Sleekform Alpharetta, which has a separate adjustment for seat angle, that probably will allow for the best fit, and I may try that if it ever becomes available int he future. Fortunately, the Boss was such a reasonable price, I felt it was worth keeping until I can try the Sleekform.

I've had this for 2 years now and it has held up well. It is made of good quality materials and the padding is surprisingly thick! It puts my spine and posture in perfect position and I have no complaints. I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend!

I bought this thinking it was going to help my posture and be better to sit in for longer periods of time. I find, as a taller person (5' 9") this was a bit challenging for me. My knees actually were bothered by this, which seemed ironic given that it's suppose to help the back, but not when it just causes pain elsewhere. My legs would go numb in it. It's very low sitting, even when you elevate it. I didn't find that it helped my posture either. I watched quite a few of the videos and did a lot of research before buying this. One of the videos actually started with the daughter haunched over on it. I think it's like a medicine ball, your back/posture will be straight if you straighten it. It doesn't force yourself into better posture for long though, you just naturally start to shell. Like when you remind yourself to sit up straight but it only lasts as long as you remember to keep it straight. I wasn't a fan and was a bit disappointed, unfortunately. I think maybe it will work for some people, and the quality of it is good - just not for me. Maybe for shorter people with shorter desks and don't mind their knees going a bit numb. I don't have knee problems, and wasn't expecting that part of it.

I wanted to like this chair so bad. I have suffered with chronic neck and back pain for over half my life. I work a desk job with very long hours. I recently had a spinal fusion in my cervical spine as well. The details provided for this chair indicate that it is ergonomic, improves posture, and relieves pain and stress. they say "we've got your back (and your knees, shins, and your behind!". Got them indeed!Using this chair for a short amount of time each time, i have suffered nothing but extreme pain in my entire back and increased pain in my neck. My knees and shins have become bruised as well.The cushion provided for the butt and knees is quite thick. It is not skimpy. But the pressure on the knees and shins is a lot. I used for only an hour or so at a time to try to get used to it over the last couple of weeks with no relief. My pain while trying this chair has been worse than ever. After stopping use, i feel significantly better.I tried this chair at every adjustment available. None of them worked for me.Occasionally my legs and feet would go numb because of the positioning and pressure on the knees/shins. and from the angle that the seat comes up underneath me, it felt as if my spine was being jammed upward.The pain and discomfort i felt was not "muscle weakness" or "fatigue" it was legitimate pain. Again, this was basically felt from head to toe. I had increased headaches and neck pain as well. This was all relieved by very little except discontinuing use.This is not to say that this chair would not work for someone else, every body is different, but it does not work for me and my body.For reference, i am 5 foot 3 and approx 180 lbs.As far as assembly goes, the chair was relatively easy to assemble on my own. it is difficult to adjust after fully put together though, because you have to partially disassemble it in order to adjust. its a pain by yourself, but still doable. It took me under an hour to assemble on my own and is much quicker to disassemble.If you do choose to try this chair, please use caution. Please be aware of your bodys limits and have realistic expectations. This chair will not work miracles. I highly recommend shopping for desk chairs in person whenever that is an option.
