At WorkKneeling Chairs
Kneeling chairs can make sitting fun, whilst increasing health and productivity at the same time. Once just used by those with back problems, the chairs have matured into beautiful furniture. The key is to choose wisely - you will grow to love your kneeling chair. Choose badly and it will end up in a cupboard. They are suitable for adults, teenagers and children both at home and in the office.
Why do kneeling chairs help? Because they produce naturally enhanced posture. The advanced designs (with curved wooden runners) keep your body in gentle motion and help you to feel more alert and (most say) with less discomfort. Long term use promotes fitter back muscles.
Also, when you sit on a kneeling chair you can straighten up and balance the spine properly over the pelvis. On the advanced chairs the rock of the chair is exceptionally good at keeping good posture even when you are tired, and the movement makes leaning forward to the desk easy.
Fabric / Colour:
You will notice that we only sell our most popular combinations of fabric, colour and wood online. If you're looking for something specific (ie pink or leather!) then please call one of our shops. For Varier products, there are two types of fabric:
- Group 1 (Crusvik) - is the cheapest, wool-based fabric. It is hardwearing BUT can be prickly on shins. Fine if you wear trousers!
- Group 3b (Dinamica) - is the most resilient fabric - it's wipe clean and very durable
Posture Chair
 Posture Chair | This is most people's idea of a good home kneeling chair; it won "best in test" in a leading consumer magazine. Choose this if you will be sitting for short periods, but choose one of the chairs below if you will be sitting for more than an hour. N.B. In our experience most "budget" chairs place too much pressure on the knees. To sit for longer periods we suggest a higher quality chair. The Multi (below) for example has a pivoting knee pad to decrease knee pressure. |

Varier Multi Kneeling Chair
 Varier Multi | Multi is made to an exceptionally high quality and has a 7 year warranty. It's a great chair if you need to sit for an hour or so and then fold it away. Like the Posture Chair above the Multi is suitable for occasional use. The knee pad pivots. Nevertheless we suggest one of the chairs below such as the Variable if you want an even better experience or to sit all day. Multi is suitable for a variety of table heights and activities. Both height and seating angle can be adjusted simultaneously and the chair can be folded for storage or transport. |

Varier Variable Kneeling Chair
 Varier Variable | This offers almost perfect design and function. Only the Thatsit exceeds the Variables qualities, but the Variable wins on price so it's our best selling kneeling chair. It fits anyone from ten years upwards. We have thousands of clients who use it for all day office work. The runners allow the body's movements to totally control the chair. It can be used just about anywhere, as it's small, strong and very easy to handle. Parent Tip: it's a great homework chair....keeps energy levels high.  |

Hag Balans Vital
 Hag Banlans Vital | Hag Vital: Important information: We sometimes have some re-purchased or ex display items in our clearance section. However it is no longer made, having been discontinued in early 2008. The chair has swivel and height adjustment on a wheeled base. Like the Wing (still in production , above) we think the chair is for people of short stature or for use at higher than standard desks. If you wear a skirt, or sit for long hours we think the Variable Thatsit and Wing are better choices. |
Why was it discontinued? The Hag Vital was one of the first kneeling chairs developed, but we found customers preferred kneeling chairs with movement because these allow all day comfort. The Variable (above) and the Thtatsit have the greatest movement, whilst the Wing is a "Vital-like" chair but with a rocking mechanism built under the seat. Back in Action tip: always choose a rocking kneeling chair if you are sitting without breaks for more than an hour of intense work. (eg Variable, Thatsit, Wing)
Varier Thatsit Kneeling Chair
 Varier Thatsit | We believe that Thatsit is the ultimate kneeling chair. It allows the most movement and offers the greatest support. The chair has adjustable leg supports and can be adapted perfectly to the user, regardless of height. It has an optional back support for those using a chair for long periods of time. Thatsit is ideal for people who have to sit for long periods of time either at home or work. Perfect for all kinds of work at a table. One of our staff has used this chair for over ten years and wouldn't give it up! |

[ Got Feedback? ] Recommended by: Our Customers
"Just to say my replacement seat for my Variable chair arrived today and what a difference... I feel very comfortable at my computer now... shouldn't have waited years to replace it! And the bonus was that the knee pads were included... making the price less shocking! Thank you." Dec 2008
"I have used a Thatsit Kneeling Chair with Backrest for about 8 years, having returned to it (and you) after an uncomfortable and painful period with an alternative suggestion from another Company. Having left the Company, there was a scrum going on as to who was going to get my chair! I will not miss the Company but I will miss my old and faithful chair. I also know my chair will remain one of the most popular pieces of office furniture." Oct 2007
"Thank you - the kneeling chair is a brilliant device particularly since I sit at a screen for several hours a day. The chair combined with a bit of yoga has completely removed my chronic back problem so thank you very much." Mar 2007
"Breathtaking - I ordered a Stokke Variable yesterday about midday and it was delivered before 9.00 this morning. From Amersham to north Essex is not the equivalent of a moonshot, I know, but it is still a remarkable performance. Thanks." Feb 2007
