Knee Chair Offers Alternative Home Office Seating
A knee chair or “kneeling chair” is an alternative to your typical herman miller type chair. Instead of sitting with your feet on the floor and your back against a backrest, your shins share some of the burden, and you work in a somewhat different position.
While these are often called knee chairs, you’re not really resting against your knees against anything (which wouldn’t be that comfortable for most of us). Rather your shins share the weight with your rump, altering the usual sitting position.
I have a hard time imaging this chair being that comfortable for extended periods of time, but I know some people like them. A knee chair has some ergonomic benefits as well in that it’s supposed to encourage a more correct postural position in the lower back.
You can pick up knee chairs for $100-$200 at Amazon:
