Swopper

The Swopper is an ergonomically advanced, yet surprisingly simple seating option. The logic behind its design is similar to that of an exercise ball chair. It provides all of the benefits of a ball chair with the adjustability of a standard ergonomic chair. Using a stool like the Swopper as your seat provides many health benefits.

Ergonomic Drafting Chairs

The main feature of a drafting chair that makes it different from any other kind of ergonomic chair is the foot ring (footrest) attached near the base. This allows you to, you guessed it, rest your feet on a solid surface which is useful for certain tasks. Some people require that their feet be supported while seated for their type of work. A few of the top chair brands make models of their best-selling chairs with the drafting kit. Herman Miller has an Aeron model with it, Steelcase offers its Leap and Think models in drafting form, Humanscale offers the [...]

Ergonomic Kneeling Chairs

This type of seating is very unique. It involves resting your knees on a padded support near the front of the chair and sitting on a semi-normal looking seat, either with or without a back rest. Kneeling chairs are said to improve posture while seated which could be the number one culprit of back pain or discomfort. It is very common for people to hunch over or slouch in their seat in a standard-type office chair. There are many models available by a few different manufacturers in a wide range of colors. You can also find these in Wooden styles [...]
