Knee Chairs

A kneeling chair tips your pelvis forward and shares your weight between the seat and your shins, opening the hip angle to encourage an upright back without a backrest. It is a specialist posture option many use alongside a regular chair. For conventional support, see ergonomic chairs.

How does a kneeling chair work?

It angles the seat forward and rests some of your weight on padded shin supports, which opens the hip angle and rolls the pelvis forward. That encourages the lower back into a natural upright curve rather than slumping, without needing a backrest.

Are kneeling chairs comfortable all day?

Most people use them part of the day, alongside a regular chair, rather than all day. The posture takes getting used to and puts some pressure on the shins, so alternating between a kneeling chair and a conventional chair often works best.

Who are kneeling chairs good for?

They suit anyone wanting to vary their sitting posture, or who finds a normal chair encourages slouching. As with any posture chair, they work best combined with regular movement and breaks, and suit some people more than others.

Can I adjust a kneeling chair?

Quality kneeling chairs adjust the seat height and often the shin-pad position so you can set the angle and fit to your body. Check the adjustment range on the listing to make sure it suits your height.

What warranty applies, and can I get business pricing?

All our chairs carry a warranty that varies by product, with individual buyers covered by the Consumer Guarantees Act. We offer bulk pricing and Business Pass discounts and credit terms, with Afterpay and Zip available and free delivery on orders over $30.

An upright posture alternative

A kneeling chair changes how you sit. By angling the seat forward and resting some of your weight on padded shin supports, it opens the hip angle and rolls your pelvis forward, which encourages the lower back into a natural upright curve rather than slumping. There is no backrest, because the design relies on your own posture.

A different way to sit

A kneeling chair changes your posture by design. Angling the seat forward and resting some weight on padded shin supports opens the hip angle and rolls the pelvis forward, which encourages the lower back into a natural upright curve rather than slumping. There is no backrest, because the design relies on your own posture doing the work.

How to use one

Most people use a kneeling chair for part of the day, alongside a regular chair, since the position takes getting used to and shifts pressure to the shins. It suits anyone wanting to vary their posture or who finds a conventional seat encourages slouching. Look for seat and shin-pad adjustment so you can set it to your body. For conventional back support, see ergonomic chairs; for another upright alternative, saddle chairs.
