Ergonomic Kneeling Chair

Many people acquire back problems, or at least increase the severity of their back problems from spending all too much time in a conventional computer desk chair.

The ergonomic kneeling chair helps alleviate stress on one’s back by redistributing some of that stress or pressure to the shins or knees.

The origins of the ergonomic kneeling bench may be traced back to ancient Tibet and the “seiza bench.”

The ergonomic kneeling chair of today is, however, a bit more sophisticated in design and much more comfortable than its ancient predecessor. And, for most people, it is much more comfortable and healthy than conventional chairs – especially office or computer desk chairs.

So – in the interest of finding out if an ergonomic kneeling chair is right for you and if so which kind would best suit your particular needs – let’s look at a few of the different variations on this revolutionary new seating device – the ergonomic kneeling chair.

Sam’s Club’s ergonomic kneeling chair is adjustable for height and has a reclining back function. It’s well padded seat and back comes in navy blue. Its frame is made of wood, it has dual wheel casters and its price is $89.12. This chair has received a three star customer satisfaction rating. (Wal-Mart sells the same chair for almost $19 more.)

Sam’s Club also offers its customers a simpler and less expensive ergonomic kneeling chair (without a reclining back feature and with black upholstered fabric padding instead of blue) for $68.12.

On Amazon.com one can find several ergonomic kneeling chairs. One such kneeling chair from a company called Furniture Crew has a solid steel frame and polyurethane handle grips on either side of the chair. This particular kneeling chair sells for $108.95

Flash Furniture offers a standard office chair that converts to an ergonomic kneeling chair for $135.99 (the Ergonomic Kneeling Posture Task Chair, WL-1430-GG). This chair has standard tilt and backrest adjustments and comes with a four-star customer satisfaction rating.

The Accent Wooden Kneeling Chair, f1430 by Jobri is a standard wooden ergonomic kneeling chair with 4 casters and a five-year guarantee. Besides the extra long warranty that comes with this kneeling chair – I am not quite sure as to why it comes in at almost three times the going price of other comparable ergonomic kneeling chairs. Also – it does not come with a backrest or side-grip handles. And I could not discover enough information on this particular kneeling chair that would justify the hefty price. I would imagine, however, that it, most likely, much better built than other chairs that, in appearance, seem quite similar.

So when looking for a good deal on an ergonomic kneeling chair – always remember to shop carefully and remember to make good use of your favorite search engine to find the best deal online.
