Best knee chairs in 2024

More than half of the people around the world have sedentary jobs that require continually being in one position. It mainly affects the spine, joints, muscles, and blood circulation. Most begin to gradually develop scoliosis, which gradually progresses. Due to an incorrect twisted posture, frequent headaches appear - a pinching occurs in the cervical spine. The worst thing is that "sedentary work" can lead to more serious diseases.

We have to look for various ways to relieve the stress on the spine due to constant sedentary work. Some go for a massage, do exercises during the working day, while others purchase a specialized orthopedic knee chair. But how does it differ from a regular office chair?

The knee chair is ...?

This is a chair that can seem very strange and unusual in appearance. He does not have the armrests familiar to everyone or a large backrest on which you can lean. The seat is located on average at an angle of 20 ° to the floor. The most important thing is the soft knee support. It can be either solid, or the stand is divided into 2 parts, under each knee, respectively.

What to look for when choosing?

• it is necessary to take into account the height, weight of the buyer, as well as the height of the table at which the person works;
• pay attention to the number of possible seat tilt and height adjustments - the more variations, the more practical and versatile the product becomes;
• the presence of castors on the chair legs - it is convenient to move around the room;
• the quality of the material (if the material of the fabric is of poor quality, then the service life of the product will significantly decrease);
• frame - it is better to choose a metal frame, as it is stronger. However, many buyers claim that wood looks more modern and sleek.

We have prepared a ranking of the best knee chairs.
