An ergonomic kneeling chair is a type of alternative seating that encourages a more natural, upright posture by tilting the pelvis forward and aligning the spine. Unlike a traditional office chair, it features a forward-sloping seat combined with padded knee rests that support part of your body weight, reducing pressure on the lower back.
The goal isn’t to kneel in the religious sense, but rather to shift your body into a position that supports spinal alignment, distributes weight evenly, and reduces the muscle fatigue caused by slouching.
Most ergonomic kneeling chairs are height-adjustable, compact, and designed with high-quality foam for both comfort and longevity. They’ve become particularly popular in wellness and productivity circles for their ability to address one of the most common modern complaints: back pain from prolonged sitting.
