A kneeling chair changes your sitting position by allowing the thighs to angle downwards while the padded lower support helps share your weight between the seat and lower legs. The Ergonomic Kneeling Chair provides an alternative to conventional 90-degree chair sitting, with adjustable seat height, thick cushioning and the choice of using the chair with or without a backrest. It can be particularly useful for people who want to introduce another seated position into their working day rather than remaining in the same conventional chair posture for hours at a time. A different sitting position, not simply a different office chair. Kneeling seating changes the angle of your hips and thighs while providing padded support beneath the lower legs, creating a noticeably different working posture from a conventional chair. Designed for People Who Want an Alternative to Conventional Sitting ↕ Adjustable Seat Height Adjust the seat between approximately 50cm and 64cm to suit your body, desk and preferred kneeling position. PAD Generous Knee & Shin Support The broad 45 × 25cm padded support gives your lower legs a substantial cushioned contact area. +/- Optional Backrest Choose the open kneeling-chair format or add the backrest if you prefer having something behind you during pauses and position changes. ↔ Mobile Castor Base Move around your workstation more easily without having to lift and reposition the chair each time. How Does a Kneeling Chair Change the Way You Sit? On a conventional office chair, your thighs usually extend forward from your hips with your knees bent at roughly desk-chair height. A kneeling chair angles the thighs downwards and places the lower legs against a padded support. This changes the angle between the torso and thighs and can encourage a more forward, upright sitting position for some users. Your body weight should still be supported primarily through the seat. The lower pad is there to provide additional support rather than forcing all of your weight directly onto your knees. You're Not Supposed to Put All Your Weight on Your Knees The name "kneeling chair" can make the sitting position sound more extreme than it actually is. You still sit on the main seat cushion. The padded lower platform supports the shin and knee area while the seat continues to carry much of your body weight. Correct setup is important. If you feel excessive pressure through your knees or lower legs, adjust your position rather than assuming that pressure is simply part of using the chair. Who Is a Kneeling Chair Most Likely to Appeal To? Alternative Sitting Back-Sensitive Users Home Offices Posture Variety It is particularly relevant if you find yourself repeatedly uncomfortable in traditional office-chair sitting and want to experiment with a different hip, thigh and trunk position at the desk. Think of It as Another Sitting Position, Not Necessarily Your Only One No single sitting position needs to be maintained for an entire working day. A kneeling chair can be used as one part of a more varied workstation, particularly if you also have access to a conventional chair or standing position. Moving between different postures during the day may feel more comfortable than expecting any one chair to be the perfect position for eight uninterrupted hours. i Variation still matters. Even if the kneeling position feels comfortable, continue changing position, standing and moving regularly throughout your working day. Considering a Kneeling Chair Because Your Back Is Uncomfortable? A kneeling chair changes your seated position considerably compared with a conventional office chair. For some people, that different position may feel more comfortable and reduce the amount of time spent in a posture that aggravates their symptoms. However, a kneeling chair is not a treatment for back pain and it cannot guarantee pain relief. Persistent or significant back symptoms should be discussed with a physiotherapist, occupational therapist or other appropriate health professional. With Backrest or Without? The Kneeling Chair is available in two configurations so you can choose the style that best suits how you intend to use it. OPEN Without Backrest Keeps the chair simple and open, allowing you to use the kneeling position without a back support behind you. BACK With Backrest Adds a support behind you for times when you want to change position or briefly lean back rather than remaining in the active kneeling posture. Choosing the backrest? The Backrest Doesn't Turn It into a Conventional Office Chair The fundamental sitting position remains a kneeling-chair position. The optional backrest simply provides another support point when you want it. If you regularly want to recline or rely heavily on lumbar and backrest support throughout the day, a conventional ergonomic office chair may be a better fit. Generous Padding Where It Matters Both the seat and lower-leg support use cushioned padding designed for regular desk use. The kneeling pad is approximately 45cm wide × 25cm deep, giving the lower legs a broad contact area rather than relying on narrow individual knee pads. Anti-bacterial foam is used in the padded components for a practical workplace seating solution. Compact Seat, Substantial Lower-Leg Support The main seat measures approximately 42cm wide × 35cm deep. That is intentionally different from the large seat pan of a traditional ergonomic office chair because the kneeling-chair position distributes your seated posture differently. If you specifically prefer a deep, wide conventional seat that supports most of your thighs horizontally, this style of seating will feel quite different. Adjustable from Approximately 50cm to 64cm High The seat height can be adjusted through a range of approximately 50cm to 64cm. This allows you to change the overall working position to suit your body and desk. Because kneeling chairs position the legs differently from conventional chairs, do not assume that the seat height you use on your normal office chair will automatically be the correct setting here. Take Time to Set It Up Properly 1 Sit Back on the Seat Place your weight through the main seat cushion rather than dropping heavily onto the lower kneeling pad. 2 Rest the Lower Legs Allow your shins and knee area to make comfortable contact with the padded lower support. 3 Adjust to Your Desk Fine-tune the chair height so your keyboard and mouse remain within comfortable reach without lifting your shoulders. Don't Forget Your Desk Height Changing your sitting position can change where your arms meet the desk. Once the kneeling chair is adjusted, check that your keyboard and mouse still sit at a workable height. If your chair position causes you to shrug your shoulders or reach upwards towards the desktop, you may need to reconsider the chair height, work-surface height or overall workstation setup. Expect an adjustment period It Won't Feel Like Your Normal Office Chair Your hips, thighs and lower legs are positioned differently, and the chair does not provide the same broad seat-pan support as a conventional chair. If you are new to kneeling seating, consider starting with shorter periods and gradually increasing use as you become familiar with the position. The goal is not to tolerate discomfort because the chair is "ergonomic". Adjust the chair, change position or alternate seating if your body is telling you the position needs to change. Castors Make It Easier to Move Around Your Workspace The wheeled base allows you to reposition around your desk without lifting the entire chair. This can be useful if you move between different parts of the workstation or need to get in and out of the kneeling position regularly. Kneeling Chair or Traditional Ergonomic Chair? K Choose a Kneeling Chair If... You want to experiment with a more open hip angle and a distinctly different seated position from a traditional office chair. C Consider an Office Chair If... You want a large conventional seat, lumbar support, recline, seat-depth adjustment or a chair designed primarily for prolonged supported sitting. Kneeling Chair or Saddle Chair? Both options change the traditional seated position, but they do it differently. K Kneeling Chair Uses a forward sitting position with padded support beneath the lower legs to create a different hip and thigh angle. S Saddle Chair Uses a higher riding-style seat with the legs positioned more freely to either side, which can be useful for mobile or close-access work. Consider your individual fit Kneeling Seating Isn't the Right Choice for Everyone The chair places the hips, knees and lower legs in a different position from conventional sitting. If you have significant knee problems, difficulty getting into or out of kneeling positions, restricted lower-limb movement or another condition that could make this posture unsuitable, seek individual advice before purchasing. Choosing equipment around your body and work is more important than choosing a product simply because it carries an ergonomic label. Straightforward Assembly The chair requires assembly and is designed to take approximately 10 minutes using the supplied tools and instructions. An onsite assembly option is also available where shown on the product page. Product Details Product Type Adjustable ergonomic kneeling chair Seat Height Approximately 50cm to 64cm Seat Width Approximately 42cm Seat Depth Approximately 35cm Kneeling Pad Width Approximately 45cm Kneeling Pad Depth Approximately 25cm Padding Anti-bacterial foam Upholstery Durable fabric Backrest Available with or without backrest Mobility Castor-wheel base Assembly Approximately 10 minutes with tools and instructions included Best For Users wanting an alternative seated position to a conventional office chair Is the Kneeling Chair Right for You? ✓ A Strong Choice If... You find conventional office-chair sitting uncomfortable, want to experiment with a different hip and thigh position, and are comfortable using padded lower-leg support as part of your seated posture. ! Consider Another Chair If... You need substantial lumbar support, recline, a deep conventional seat, advanced office-chair adjustability or have knee or lower-limb limitations that make kneeling-style seating unsuitable. Not Sure Whether a Kneeling Chair Will Suit You? Use the Ask a Question option on this page and tell us your height, desk height, how many hours you sit each day and what you're hoping to change about your current sitting position. If you're considering a kneeling chair because of discomfort, include where you experience symptoms so our team can help you compare this chair with the other seating options in our range. ✓ 3-Year Warranty The Ergonomic Kneeling Chair is covered by a three-year warranty. If a fault develops during the warranty period, we'll work with you to arrange repair or replacement in accordance with our warranty terms. Change the Way You Sit Instead of Buying Another Version of the Same Chair If conventional office-chair sitting isn't working for you, the Ergonomic Kneeling Chair gives you a genuinely different seated position with adjustable height, substantial cushioning and the choice of an open design or added backrest.
