At WorkKneeling Chairs
Kneeling chairs can make sitting fun, whilst increasing health and productivity at the same time.
Generally loved by those with back problems, the chairs have matured into beautiful furniture. The key is to choose wisely - you will then grow to love your kneeling chair. Chosen well, with our guidance, there are models suitable for children teenagers and adults, both at home and in the office.

Varier Thatsit ChairWhy do kneeling chairs help?
If walking is comfortable but sitting is not ... do consider a kneeling chair. Good kneeling chairs develop naturally enhanced sitting posture. The advanced designs (with curved wooden runners) keep your body in gentle motion and help you to feel more alert ... with (most say) less discomfort. Each day the postural muscles are asked to do more work, and this promotes fitter back muscles.
When you sit on a kneeling chair you can balance the spine properly over the pelvis:- i.e. good posture! 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.
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. |

| Multi Kneeling Chair | £ 405.00 |
Wherever you're going and whatever you're doing, take the Multi balans® along. This multi-function sitting instrument is portable, height-adjustable and supports a range of sitting positions, so you never know when it will come in useful.
Designed to create an open angle between the torso and thighs, the Multi balans® gives you the freedom to decide just how open that angle should be. At its steepest setting, the Multi balans® places almost as little strain on the back as a standing posture, while at its lowest it can function as a child's chair and worktable in one.
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.

Varier Wing Kneeling Chair
 Varier Wing |
Wing allows more movement than either the Variable or the Multi. Wing is an unconventional working chair with wheels, swivel and tilt functions. Wing also comes with either hard wheels for soft floors, or soft wheels for hard floors. |
| Wing Kneeling Chair | £ 687.00 |
The Wing balans® promotes active sitting and keeps you breathing deeply, giving your energy levels and powers of concentration an invaluable boost.
The Wing balans® supports you in the open balans® 'kneeling' posture instead of the erect or right-angled posture imposed by traditional office chairs. This creates a balanced torso and allows your spine to find its natural curve while strengthening your back muscles. With an open angle between torso and thighs breathing and thus oxygen supply is enhanced.
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
"Ordered a Varier variable chair by telephone, and worked with Abbey. She was wonderfully helpful not only with knowledge about the chair itself (though I was familiar with the chair, she could provide even more detail), but also with selection of fabric colour (she gives a very accurate description of the kind of 'red' you'll get!). Delivery was prompt, and if you do comparative shopping you'll see the price is also very good. Website is thorough and informative, clearly written - helps you narrow down what you might like before telephoning or visiting. Nothing like a family business for the personal touch. Very pleased. Thank you!"
"I paid for my new Vario Wing chair by telephone on the morning of Wednesday 12 May. I was amazed and very impressed to take delivery of the item yesterday morning, less than 24 hours after completing my payment. I am now sitting on the chair as I type. Thank you so much for the very efficient service."
"Just spoken to Abby (hope that is the correct spelling) in the London office and wanted to pass on how helpful and knowledgeable she was. She knew all the products so well and was able to recommend the ones she thought would be most relevant to us. Also suggested that we email for expert advice before purchasing. Please pass on our thanks to her."
"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."
